Northwestern Faces Ohio State at Wrigley Field

Northwestern football is set to host No. 2 Ohio State at Wrigley Field on November 16, marking their first game at the iconic venue since returning to it after a series of losses. Coach David Braun is optimistic about the return of injured players, especially linebacker Xander Mueller, as the Wildcats aim for an upset despite being heavy underdogs with Ohio State having a 95.4% chance of winning. The game comes as Northwestern's season hangs in the balance, with the team needing at least one win in their remaining games to secure a bowl berth. Wrigley Field has been transformed for the match, showcasing the rich history of the venue which has hosted various sports, including college football. This match is part of a broader plan as Northwestern plays its home games at temporary facilities due to stadium construction. The kickoff is set for noon local time and will be broadcast on The Big Ten Network.
