Brief Big Ten recaps......

MICHIGAN 27, Cockeye 14
Blake Corum rushed for 133 yards and a touchdown, J.J. McCarthy threw for 155 yards and a touchdown and No. 4 Michigan defeated Cockeye 27-14 on Saturday. The Wolverines were able to consistently move the ball against the Cockeyes, who came into the game leading the nation in scoring defense and ranked sixth in total defense and rushing defense. Michigan had 327 yards, including 172 rushing yards. The win snapped a four-game losing streak at Kinnick Stadium for the Wolverines, who had not won there since 2005.

PURDUE 20, MINNESOTA 10
Devin Mockobee rushed for 102 yards and a late touchdown to pad Purdue’s lead, and the Boilermakers defense fueled yet another takedown of a ranked opponent in a 20-10 victory over No. 21 Minnesota on Saturday. Cam Allen had two of Purdue’s three interceptions of Tanner Morgan, one in the end zone in the second quarter and another in the closing minutes.

ILLINOIS 34, WISCONSIN 10
Chase Brown rushed for 129 yards, Tommy DeVito had three short touchdown keepers and Illinois trounced Wisconsin 34-10 on Saturday to give coach Bret Bielema a triumphant return to Camp Randall Stadium. Illinois scored 17 points off Wisconsin turnovers and scored the game's final 27 points to win as a 6.5 point underdog. The Illini sacked Graham Mertz six times and held the Badgers to just 2 yards rushing on 24 carries.

MARYLAND 27, MICHIGAN STATE 13
Taulia Tagovailoa threw for 314 yards and a touchdown, and Maryland handed Michigan State its third consecutive loss, 27-13 on Saturday. The Terrapins scored touchdowns on their first two possessions, and the Maryland defense was solid as the Terps passed their first test in what feels like an important October for the program.

OHIO STATE 49, RUTGERS 10
Miyan Williams carried the load for No. 3 Ohio State, rushing for a career-high 189 yards and five touchdowns as the Buckeyes beat Rutgers 49-10 on Saturday. Williams got the opportunity for a career-high 21 carries when TreVeyon Henderson became a late scratch because of an unspecified injury. Williams, a third-year back, exploded for a 70-yard TD romp in the third quarter and also had four short scoring plunges.

PENN STATE 17, NORTHWESTERN 7
Nick Singleton had 21 carries for 87 yards and a touchdown, Penn State’s defense forced three turnovers and the No. 11 Nittany Lions outlasted Northwestern 17-7 on Saturday. Sean Clifford completed 10 of 20 passes for 140 yards with a touchdown and Kaytron Allen added 86 rushing yards on 21 carries to help Penn State stay unbeaten heading into an off week.

NEBRASKA 35, INDIANA 21
Casey Thompson threw for two touchdowns and ran for another and Nebraska beat a FBS opponent for the first time in 364 days with a 35-21 victory over Indiana on Saturday night. Thompson threw a 71-yard touchdown pass to Trey Palmer early in the fourth to break a 21-all tie and followed with a 1-yard run to give the Cornhuskers a two-score cushion. Palmer, who earned his first 100-yard receiving game of his career, finished with eight catches for 157 yards. Running back Anthony Grant carried the ball 32 times for 136 yards. Thompson finished 18-of-27 for 270 yards with the two TDs and an interception. Both teams combined for 23 penalties for 202 yards in one of the most flag-filled FBS games of all season.

Am I the only one who loves the fact that Mertz is the worst thing that could have happened to the Badgers?

Am I the only one who loves the fact that Mertz is the worst thing that could have happened to the Badgers?

When he came out of high school I said great now they have a running game plus a good qb but it hasn't really turned out that way. Now they have neither.
