    • Michigan holds the record at 17, from 1988-92. We currently have 15 straight conference road wins since our loss at Penn State in 2005. We should at least tie the record since our first two road games are at Indiana and Purdue. That would set the stage for us the break it at Penn State on Nov 7th. We already hold the record for the longest conference win streak at 20 (snapped by Illinois in 2007).
     
    Here's some info I put together for each Big Ten team for one of the game previews last season, updated to be current, illustrating how rare it is to have a double-digit winning streak in conference road games.

    Here is each team's best streak of conference road victories:

    TSUN:
    17 - 1988-92, it ended with the 13-13 game which was, according to E. Gordon Gee, the "greatest victory"
    10 - 1945-48
    09 - 1929-33
    08 - 1996-98
    07 - 1971-72, 1973-74, 1977-79, and 1981-82

    tOSU:
    15 - 2005-current
    12 - 1974-77 (including the 21-14 win at AA in '75)
    09 - 1966-69 (ending in 24-12), and 1978-80
    07 - 1954-56
    07 - 1970-71

    Mich St:
    08 - 1965-67 (National Championship Bubba Smith/George Webster years)
    08 - 1988-90

    Penn St: (joined in 1993)
    08 - 1993-95 (1994 was JoePa's last perfect season, but they finshed #2 to Nebraska, pre-BCS)

    Illinois:
    08 - 1918-20 (NC in 1919, with a 9-7 win on a FG with 8 seconds left over tOSU and Chic Harley in sesaon finale)
    06 - 1982-83
    06 - 1989-90

    Minnesota:
    07 - 1960-62 (National Championship in 1960)
    05 - 1940-41 (National Champions both years)

    Northwestern:
    07 - 1929-31
    06 - 1995-96 (didn't play tOSU either year)

    Purdue:
    07 - 1933-35
    06 - 1943-44 (including a win over tOSU in Cleveland)
    06 - 1979-80

    Iowa:
    06 - 1921-23
    05 - 1956-67
    05 - 1995-96
    05 - 2001-02 (tied tOSU at 8-0 in 2002)

    Wisconsin:
    06 - 1906-08

    Chicago (member until 1939):
    05 - 1905-08 (National Champions in 1905)

    Indiana:
    03 - 1945, 1946, 1967, 1968, and 1982 (not counting 1994 where an MSU forfeit gets them to 3)

    Perhaps, it took a couple of hours for me to create the above list for the game preview a few months ago.

    Who, their starting (overrated) QB?

    Not only their QB who should be a year better, but they do get some of the injured players (Sean Lee for example). Their defense may be very good (maybe not as good as last year, but good) their offense will be a wait and see thing.

    Edit: Playing at their house is never an easy task.
