Today is the last Saturday until December 2nd without a Northwestern football game. After this much-needed bye week, the Wildcats will begin a 9-game Big Ten journey that starts in Madison and ends in Champaign.

Here are some results from the early games, plus what’s on tap for the afternoon and evening slate. All start times listed are central time, and Big Ten teams are in bold.
