Big Ten Football Schedule, Game Times For Week 8
Week 8 Big Ten football schedule and game times. Ohio State and Rutgers square off in a primetime showdown in Piscataway at 8:00 ET.
The Big Ten football schedule has five games on tap for Week 8, starting with a noon kickoff in Lincoln as Northwestern takes on Nebraska. The Wildcats have lost two in a row after starting the season 5-0, including a 40-10 beat down by Iowa last week. After two straight losses, the Cornhuskers got back on the winning track last week, defeating Minnesota 48-25.
A trio of 3:30 p.m. ET games keep the action rolling, including the 5-2 Wisconsin Badgers traveling south to Champaign to take on Illinois. The Fighting Illini are a surprising 4-2 after having their head coach Tim Beckman fired right before the start of the season.
Maryland, who fired coach Randy Edsall after a 2-4 start, will host Penn State in College Park. The Nittany Lions had won five in a row before losing to Ohio State last week, 38-10, in Columbus.
Fresh off its miracle win in The Big House against rival Michigan, Michigan State will try to run its record to 8-0 when the Spartans host the Indiana Hoosiers in East Lansing. A fumbled punt by Michigan was returned by Michigan State as time expired for the shocking, 27-23 victory last week.
In primetime, No. 1 Ohio State will look to stay perfect on the season and extend its winning streak to 21 games when the Buckeyes take on the Rutgers Scarlet Knights in Piscataway.
