Illinois' six-foot-one receiver Collin Dixon to help them take down the Cornhuskers. The senior wideout had eight receptions for 139 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Dixon's first touchdown tied the game in the second quarter and his second score came in the fourth to put the game nearly out of reach for Nebraska.
Saturday: 34-20 UCLA vs Minnesota
The Bruins were locked
in a defensive battle with Minnesota until the fourth quarter. UCLA's senior signal caller Ty Dieffenbach would score a one-play, 75-yard touchdown to senior wide receiver Aiden Mizell twice. Those were Mizell's only receptions of the game, but 150 receiving yards and two touchdowns is nothing to complain about. The Bruins continue to show how dominate they can be and they can change the game in an instant.
Saturday: 41-28 Oregon vs Ohio State
The Ducks shocked the Buckeyes with a massive win for Oregon in a game that featured two backup quarterbacks that threw over 40 times. After Ohio State scored 14 unanswered points in the first quarter, Oregon's offense responded. The Ducks put up 10-points, intercepted freshman signal caller Luke Fahey and then claimed another touchdown for the lead. Oregon would then go on to score 21 points in the second half before their defense would allow Ohio State to add more points to the scoreboard.
Saturday: 24-10 Iowa vs Northwestern
The Hawkeyes pummel the Wildcats with Northwestern being held scoreless in the first half of the game. Northwestern was eventually able to find the endzone in the fourth quarter, but by that time, Iowa had scored 24-points. Iowa's senior quarterback Hank Brown had thrown and run for touchdown, but the only touchdown the Hawkeyes scored in the second half was a 96-yard kick return by sophomore running back Braeden Jackson in the third quarter.
Saturday: 34-29 Maryland vs Purdue
The Boilermakers found themselves in a shootout yet again. After a quiet first quarter, the Terrapin's offense erupted until it finally turned into a massive 21-point third quarter that put Maryland in the driver's seat.

Saturday: 15-6 Michigan State vs Michigan
