What to Know

A Big Ten battle is on tap between Northwestern and Nebraska at 4 p.m. ET on Saturday at Tom Osborne Field at Memorial Stadium. The odds don't look promising for Northwestern, but the bigger the opponent is, the harder they fall.

It was a hard-fought game, but Northwestern had to settle for a 24-15 defeat against Wisconsin last week. The Wildcats were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as Wisconsin apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played, back in October of last year.

Meanwhile, Nebraska came into their contest this week averaging 38 points per game, but they fell well short of that average, and it cost them. They played a matchup they are hoping to forget as they lost a 48-7 blowout to Ohio State. Nebraska was in a tough position by the half, with the score already sitting at 38 to nothing.

With the two teams each stumbling in off of a loss, both will be hungry for the victory. Two numbers to keep in mind before kickoff: The Wildcats are stumbling into the game with the 14th most interceptions in the nation, having thrown 7 on the season. But the Cornhuskers enter the contest having picked the ball off six times, good for eighth in the the nation. So the cards are definitely stacked in their favor.
