In between this week's questions, you will find the results of last week's Trivia Time based on the Ohio State and Nebraska series.

Last Week's Grade: B (80)
The pattern stays intact. Let's break the tendency and have an "A" in this space next week.
The B, C roller coaster continues. Nice job last week, but we are still chasing the perfect score. Michigan State has been a pain for the Buckeyes in the recent past. Will this week's test be a brain drain for the 11W Community? I have a feeling an A is on deck.
Hopeful that the 11W Community and the Buckeyes ace both of the tests that the Cornhuskers will bring to the table this week.
