Comment: Even facing a third-string quarterback, Northwestern can't win. The West champion from last season lost 24-22 at home to Purdue, scoring its second-most points this season, after scoring 30 in its one win against UNLV. At least it's playing 1-9 UMass in a nonconference respite this weekend. The Minutemen are allowing 53.1 points per game.

Week 11 MVP
Sydney Brown, DB, Illinois

The sophomore had a career game, making 13 tackles, including eight unassisted, and two interceptions in a 37-34 comeback victory at Michigan State that made the Illini bowl-eligible for the first time in four seasons. His first pick set up an Illini scoring drive. He returned the second 76 yards to score in Illinois' 27-point fourth quarter. The Illini have now won four straight.
