Four of NU's first six games in the 2015 season are against power conferences foes, two of which are against big recruiting rivals in Stanford and Duke.
With its 2015 season opener against Stanford in September less than three months away, Northwestern football has released the dates, times and broadcast information for the first half of its schedule, including non-conference games against Stanford and Duke as well as Big Ten meetings with Michigan and Iowa.
In a press release, Northwestern announced that the Stanford game at Ryan Field will be televised on ESPN at 11 a.m. central.
