Central Michigan continues to attract the eyes of Power Five opponents, this time adding the Northwestern Wildcats to their future schedule.
CMU and Northwestern have played each other once: a 25-20 win for the Wildcats in Evanston in 2010, where Northwestern had to fend off a furious 12-point Chippewa rally in the fourth quarter to seal victory.
The game is scheduled for Sept. 12, 2020 in Evanston, per a press release from CMU Athletics. The Chippewas will take on the Nebraska Cornhuskers the following week on Sept. 19, 2020 in Lincoln.
The news comes on the heels of the Kentucky Wildcats being added to the 2018 schedule back in September.
