The Big Ten played five games against the ACC in a Big Ten/ACC Challenge, of sorts, on the gridiron. Unfortunately, the Big Ten went 2-3, with Iowa (vs. Pitt) and Northwestern (at Duke) carding the triumphs.
As is the case every week, there were also several head-turning stats compiled Saturday. And our research team (@BTNStatsGuys) is all over them throughout the seasons.
