Seven games are on the Week 12 Big Ten football schedule and it all begins with a noon kickoff in Iowa City between No. 5 Iowa and Purdue.

Also at noon, No. 14 Michigan will take its 8-2 record into Happy Valley to battle the Penn State Nittany Lions. The Wolverines have been a defensive force in Coach Jim Harbaugh’s first season in Ann Arbor and will face a Penn State offense that has struggled to put points on the board.
