Saturday's game at The Horseshoe will be a return to Big Ten country for Tibesar, who previously served as the outside linebackers at Wisconsin from 2015-17, defensive consultant at Northwestern in 2014 and defensive coordinator at Purdue in 2012.
"This is really kind of going back home for me," Tibesar said Wednesday. "It’s gonna be great. ‘The Shoe’ is a great environment, kind of one of the cathedrals of college football. I think our players will be excited and feed off the energy that’s going to be there so hopefully we can go out there and put on a good show.
