Saturday was not a day for the Big Ten to champion the depth of the conference.
Sure, Penn State got a convincing road win over Auburn and Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin did what they were supposed to do against overmatched opponents. But the teams below them in the conference pecking order didn’t cover themselves in glory.
And while Nebraska falls to 1-3 on the season, including a loss to Northwestern in Ireland, it can at least say that it took care of business against an FCS opponent, North Dakota. SIU is far from an FCS powerhouse, too. The Salukis opened the season with a 64-29 loss to Incarnate Word and lost 34-31 to Southeast Missouri State in Week 2. Northwestern should have covered the 13.5-point spread. Instead, it’s now turned the ball over seven times over its last two games after beating the Huskers in Week 0.
And while Indiana and Rutgers got wins early Saturday afternoon, they weren’t victories to brag about. The Hoosiers needed a 51-yard field goal in overtime to beat Western Kentucky a week after having to come back to beat Idaho. And Rutgers beat Temple 16-14 just two weeks after the Owls were shut out by 30 in a season-opening loss to Duke.
