Not only did Michigan State exact revenge on defending national runner-up Oregon, but four Big Ten teams recorded shutouts, marking just the second time a conference has done that since 1980, joining the SEC (2006).

The four teams? That would be Illinois, Northwestern, Ohio State and Wisconsin, which combined to outscore foes 181-0.
