Improving to 6-1, Northwestern topped the Illinois Fighting Illini, 28-10, on Saturday, while Ohio State’s (5-0) scheduled home date with Michigan was canceled because of coronavirus (COVID-19) concerns within the Wolverines’ program.
Implemented in 2011, December 19 will be the Wildcats’ second appearance in the Conference Championship Game. Their first showing, which came in 2018, was, coincidentally, also against the Buckeyes, a game they lost, 45-24.
Ohio State will be making their sixth appearance and fourth-straight. Head coach Ryan Day’s team defeated the Wisconsin Badgers, 34-21, in the 2019 edition.
Kicking at 12 p.m. ET, this clash will air on FOX with the network’s top broadcast team, Gus Johnson, Joel Klatt, and “The All-American Girl” Jenny Taft, on the call.
