11. Michigan State (4-3, 2-2): Six field goals by Jonathan Kim lead Spartans to 32-20 win over Iowa. They’ll try to add to Michigan’s lost season on Saturday.

12. Nebraska (5-2, 2-2): Entering Saturday’s game at Indiana, Huskers hadn’t allowed a rushing touchdown in Big Ten play this season. The Hoosiers ran for five TDs in 56-7 rout.
