Northwestern pulled off a 29-19 upset over then-No. 20 Michigan State to improve to 2-3 on the year. It was the third straight victory for the Wildcats over the Spartans.

And Haskins was spectacular in Ohio State’s 49-26 win over Indiana. The Buckeyes quarterback threw for over 400 yards and six touchdowns in the win.
