TV Guide: How to watch, stream Nebraska vs. Northwestern + CFB Week 9 ATS picks
Nebraska football gets Game No. 8 underway in just a matter of hours against Northwestern.
The Huskers’ fifth Big Ten game of the season comes on the heels of a 5-2 start (2-2 in the Big Ten) but most recently an embarrassment in a national spotlight game.
They played four consecutive home games after opening the campaign just three hours away at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City – a game that felt like a home atmosphere, according to every coach and player who has discussed the environment that night in the win over Cincinnati – before finally leaving Lincoln for a true road test.
That East Coast flight to Maryland ended very well as Nebraska walked away with a 34-31 comeback win, but vibes have been the exact opposite this week following a 24-6 loss at Minnesota.
Now, the Huskers need to regroup in a massive way against the Wildcats (5-2, 3-1).
Kickoff is set for 11 a.m. Central Time at Memorial Stadium Stadium in Lincoln.
