Best Big Ten football photos from Week 2

Week 2 of the college football season served up an early reminder to fans that sometimes you just never know what to expect on any given Saturday. But one thing you should expect is Iowa’s offense will struggle and Nebraska will come up on the wrong end of a close game. Both were the case on an eventful Saturday around the Big Ten, with the Big Ten West taking some hits in non-conference play.

Iowa, Wisconsin, Northwestern, and Nebraska all lost home games in Week 2 while Purdue and Minnesota easily picked up wins. Illinois also scored a solid victory as well. Meanwhile, in the East Division, every team has gone through the first two weeks of the season without a loss.
