Top Performers:

Minnesota DB Jalen Myrick picked off two passes and returned one to the house in an easy win at Purdue.

Minnesota RB Shannon Brooks ran 17 times for 176 yards and a TD in a 41-13 romp at Purdue.

Biggest disappointment: It was a shock to see 5-0 Northwestern lose that badly. But, let’s go with Purdue falling at home to Minnesota, 41-13. This was a banged-up Gophers squad that had the second-lowest scoring attack in the nation and was coming off a shutout at Northwestern. But Minnesota manhandled Purdue, which looked good in a 24-21 loss at Michigan State last week. The Boilers haven’t won a Big Ten home game since 2012. Darrell Hazell is 5-25 (three wins are vs. FCS foes) at Purdue, 1-17 in the Big Ten. Will this team win another game?

I feel awful for Hazell. Seems like a good coach. Absolutely nothing to work with. Likely won't be around long enough to see Blough evolve into a top B1G QB. He would likely get a bowl bid if he could hang on for a couple more years.
