Mutliple teams from the old Big Ten West come out with upset victories in the first full week of the Big Ten conference schedule. Ryan Paris recaps the major storylines from the last week, as well as some of the biggest games coming up.

Iowa unveiled a far more dynamic offense at Rutgers, mixing creativity with big-play confidence behind Mark Gronowski’s command. The result was a 38-28 road win that felt like a turning point for the Hawkeyes’ attack.

The Hawkeyes fell three points short in Ames, trapped in the same box they’ve always played in. Cautious routes and a passing game that refuses to breathe. Even glimpses of promise, like Gronowski’s 22-yard completion, couldn’t break them free from their rectangle of comfort.
