Big Ten Oct. 11 Rivalry, Prime-Time Slate

The Big Ten's Oct. 11 slate will feature a pair of high-profile rivalry and prime-time matchups, headlined by Wisconsin hosting Iowa in the Battle for the Heartland Trophy at Camp Randall with a 6:00 p.m. CT kickoff on FS1. The Badgers (2-2) will seek their first win in the series since 2021 against a 3-2 Hawkeyes team that has won three straight, including a 42-10 rout last season. Michigan will travel to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum to face USC in a sold-out, prime-time game that kicks off at 4:30 p.m. PT (7:30 p.m. ET) on NBC; Michigan (3-1) edged USC 27-24 last season while USC (4-1) arrives off a narrow loss at Illinois. Penn State's homecoming against Northwestern is scheduled for a 3:30 p.m. kickoff on FS1, and the Week 7 Big Ten slate also includes marquee matchups such as Ohio State-Illinois and Indiana-Oregon across national windows. Outside the Big Ten, Oct. 11 features notable nonconference games including TCU at Kansas State (2:30 p.m. on Fox), underscoring a busy national college-football Saturday spread across NBC, FS1, Fox and other networks.
