Big Ten Power Rankings: Don’t sleep on the Iowa Hawkeyes

Armstrong should be back this week with No. 7 Michigan State headed to Lincoln. Armstrong actually only trails MSU’s Connor Cook in QBR among Big Ten quarterbacks and is second on the team in rushing (257 yards, four touchdowns). Armstrong needs to take the lead of Fyfe and find Jordan Westerkamp more often. Nebraska’s best wide receiver burned the Boilers for 9 receptions for 123 yards and a touchdown.
Armstrong may need to play some defensive back to really make a difference. Nebraska owns one of the worst pass defenses in college football and now gets to face Cook and Aaron Burbridge. 3-7 is almost a lock when the Spartans leave Lincoln with Rutgers and Iowa to close out 2015 without a bowl bid.

Nebraska Cornhuskers (3-6)
Last week: L Purdue 55-45
Last rank: 9
A new low each week.
Nebraska fans couldn’t blame Tommy Armstrong Jr. for its latest loss; a 55-45 drubbing at Purdue. Armstrong was on the sideline with his right foot in a walking boot. Walk-on Ryker Fyfe completed 29 passes for 407 yards and four touchdowns. Good news and instrumental in the Huskers putting up 45 points. Fyfe also threw four picks and set up Purdue in great field position a few times as Nebraska lost the turnover battle 5-0.
