A big drop this week for Northwestern after its loss to Oregon.

With a commanding win over Nevada this weekend, the Bruins defense dominated, intercepting the ball on the first three drives of the game. This stat line now ties them with the most turnovers on the season with New Mexico.

Though the Bruins will have to play a tougher opponent in Minnesota this week, their undefeated status should be a sign for the Golden Gophers. Key points from the original article: 1.

They have only one more ranked opponent on their schedule as they close out the season against USC; this puts them in an easier position for backup quarterback Ty Dieffenbach, who has taken over after the news of Nico Iamaleava's injury which has sidelined him for the remainder of the season. For the second week in a row, the Hoosiers had to squeak out the win in overtime.

Nonetheless, Indiana still pulled off the win after a touchdown in the first snap of overtime, allowing its defense to stop the Golden Gophers on their attempt. Though this isn't the Indiana we saw last season, it is still managing to win games, and some big ones at that.
