In other Big Ten news, Northwestern served Michigan State its first conference loss of the season, landing the Buckeyes solely at the top of the East division. Wisconsin had a surprisingly close contest with Illinois, but ended up finishing on top 24-10. Nebraska had it’s own 1-point victory over Purdue, finishing the contest 25-24.
