B1G Football Schedule, Saturday, Oct. 5: Kickoff times and TV listings
The first Saturday of October is here, and a full day of Big Ten football is on the calendar.
The Week 6 B1G slate kicked off Friday night when No. 6 Oregon hosted Michigan State. The Ducks scored first and never looked back. It was 21-0 Oregon at the half. MSU managed 10 points in the 4th quarter for a final score of 31-10.
Saturday features 14 teams in action across 7 conference clashes. There are no ranked vs. ranked games, but 5 B1G teams from the AP Top 25 are in action.
No. 7 Penn State is in the FOX spotlight with Big Noon Kickoff in Happy Valley for the game with B1G newcomer UCLA.
No. 3 Ohio State is in the CBS spotlight. The Buckeyes host Iowa on Saturday.
NBC is spotlighting No. 10 Michigan vs. Washington, a rematch of January’s College Football Playoff National Championship. The hype on the game has cooled a bit, as Washington is only 3-2 in the first season under Jedd Fisch, with losses already to Washington State and Rutgers. Michigan had the Week 2 loss to Texas, but has B1G wins over USC and Minnesota in back-to-back weeks.
Here’s the full B1G schedule for Saturday:
- UCLA at No. 7 Penn State – 12:00 p.m. ET on FOX
- Purdue at Wisconsin – 12:00 p.m. ET on Big Ten Network
- Iowa at No. 3 Ohio State – 3:30 p.m. ET on CBS
