Northwestern battles Nebraska at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, as the Wildcats face their first Big Ten West opponent of the 2021 season.

The Wildcats got back in the win column with a 35-6 win over Ohio at Ryan Field on Saturday and will look to defeat Nebraska for the second season in a row. Northwestern took down the Cornhuskers 21-13 in Evanston in 2020.

- Northwestern has won three out of their last four matchups with Nebraska.
- The Wildcats last victory in Lincoln (2017) came as part of a three-game winning streak in overtime games, an FBS record.
