Week 6 of the college football season has come and gone. The Hawkeyes enjoyed a bye week as they rested up for a rivalry showdown at Wisconsin (2-3, 0-2 Big Ten) this coming Saturday from Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wis.
Operating without its starting quarterback Billy Edwards, Wisconsin hung tough for a while against Michigan. In his place, Wisconsin turned to former Southern Illinois quarterback Hunter Simmons. Simmons completed 18-of-29 passes for 177 yards with one interception in a 24-10 Wisconsin loss at Michigan.
Elsewhere across the Big Ten, previously winless UCLA stunned Penn State, 42-37, Ohio State throttled Minnesota, 42-3 and Illinois won at Purdue, 43-27. Nebraska grabbed its first conference win, downing Michigan State, 38-27. Northwestern rolled past UL Monroe, 42-7, and Washington handed Maryland its first loss of the season, 24-20.
In the week’s other biggest games, Alabama exacted revenge on Vanderbilt, 30-14, Miami won at Florida State, 28-22, and Florida topped Texas, 29-21.
Rival Iowa State also suffered its first loss of the season, falling at Cincinnati, 38-30.
