Big Ten Football Schedule, Game Times For Week 9
Big Ten football schedule and games times for Week 9. The Michigan Wolverines travel to face Minnesota in a Saturday night kickoff.
The Big Ten football schedule for Week 9 features five Saturday games, starting with three noon kickoffs.
In Happy Valley, Penn State looks to run its record to 7-2 when the Nittany Lions host the Illinois Fighting Illini. The Nittany Lions edged out Maryland 31-30 last week to win their sixth game out of the last seven.
Purdue will try to stop a five-game losing streak when it hosts Nebraska at noon. The Cornhuskers have been disappointing so far in coach Mike Riley’s first season in Lincoln, falling to 3-5 after a 30-28 loss to Northwestern last week.
In the third noon kickoff, Wisconsin hosts Rutgers in Madison. The season has been a struggle for the Scarlet Knights, with coach Kyle Flood being suspended for part of the season and only three wins to show thus far.
At 3:30 p.m. ET, the undefeated Iowa Hawkeyes will try to stay on course for a shot at the College Football Playoff as they welcome the Maryland Terrapins to Iowa City. The Hawkeyes are coming off of a bye week after dominating Northwestern, 40-10, in Evanston two weeks ago.
Michigan will return to the field for the first time since the shocking loss to Michigan State two weeks ago. The Wolverines travel to Minneapolis to take on the Minnesota Golden Gophers in a night game.
The No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes have a bye week, along with Indiana, Northwestern, and Michigan State.
