The big news of the week in the Big Ten was that mother nature suspended games in Iowa City and even called the game in Michigan. Other teams had some scares. Purdue barely escaped Middle Tennessee State while Indiana fell to Ball State, and Minnesota put a scare in to USC at the Coliseum. The rest of the conference rolled to a wins they were expected too.
Team of the Week: Northwestern - The Wildcats went on the road to Boston College without their Heisman Candidate QB Dan Persa and came out with a 24-17 win. The Cats rolled up 227 yards rushing against the top team against the run in 2010. Northwestern gets to come home next week 1-0 and host Eastern Illinois.
Game of the Week: USC 19 - Minnesota 17 - The Gophers went in to LA and even after starting QB Marquis Gray got hurt, they still managed to hang with mighty Trojans. Jerry Kill had his Gophers ready to play, they might be a competitive out in the Big Ten this coming year.
Helmet Stickers: Brandon Herron from Michigan became the first Wolverine to score 2 defensive touchdowns in one game. He nabbed a interception return as the Broncos were going into score and then a fumble recovery for 6.
Russell Wilson opened his Badger season with a nice performance in a dominating game over the visiting UNLV Rebels. Passed for 255 yards and 2 TDs and scampered for a long 46 yard touchdown.
