Well, it was another big week in the Big Ten, with the November grudge matches fast approaching! The Michigan scandal continued to steal headlines (and signs), October Maryland retreated further into its shell, and Iowa even fired part of the family business. With all that and more to recap, we at the AtE desk have sifted through the immensity of it all to point you to the best articles and updates from the weekend.
Here’s what you might have missed from around the Big Ten and beyond.
Scores:
Ohio State Buckeyes 24, Wisconsin Badgers 10
Penn State Nittany Lions 33, Indiana Hoosiers 24
Northwestern Wildcats 33, Maryland Terrapins 27
Minnesota Golden Gophers 27, Michigan State Spartans 14
Nebraska Cornhuskers 17, Purdue Boilermakers 9

If you’re just diving into basketball coverage now, check out the programs honored with a B, as well as the three schools receiving Cs and the three schools receiving Ds. At least they didn’t get Fs like Penn State and Minnesota. Less than a week to go!
Three Harbaughs and a Lie:
I had intended to rotate through the coaches with this feature, but Harbaugh quotes are too much fun. The rules remain the same: I’m going to present three real Harbaugh quotes from this past week, along with one made-up quote. See if you can spot the lie!
