Nebraska and Northwestern will play on the national stage.

Saturday’s B1G West clash between the Huskers and Wildcats will be aired on ABC, according to the official Twitter account of Northwestern football. Kickoff is scheduled for 12 p.m. ET.

Northwestern is coming off a 29-19 win over No. 20 Michigan State. Nebraska dropped to 0-5 after a 41-24 loss to No. 16 Wisconsin.

The broadcast team for the matchup will be Mark Jones, Dusty Dvoracek and Molly McGrath. Saturday will also be Homecoming in Evanston.

It is surprising that ABC will provide coverage between two teams with a combined 2-8 record, especially with Iowa (4-1) and Indiana (4-2) available in that time slot.

Nebraska leads the all-time series between the two programs 7-4. Northwestern won last year’s head-to-head matchup 31-24.

Five of the last seven meetings have been decided by seven points or less.
