Northwestern welcomes Ohio to Ryan Field on Saturday, wrapping up non-conference play with a matchup against the Bobcats at 11 a.m.

Fans in Illinois can watch the game on the primary Big Ten Network channel, while out-of-state fans can use this BTN Game Finder to locate the broadcast. Tune in to WGN Radio AM-720 to hear Dave Eanet, Ted Albrecht and Mark Carman call the game.

The 'Cats will look to rebound from a loss at Duke and win their second-straight game in Evanston after taking down Indiana State 24-6.

Storylines:
  • The Big Ten's leading tackler is back at Ryan Field, as Chris Bergin looks to build on his conference-leading 31 tackles (T-12th in the nation).
  • Bryce Kirtz is primed to continue his strong start to the 2021 season against Ohio. Northwestern's leading receiver has hauled in 11 receptions for 165 yards.
  • Saturday will see Northwestern students return to Ryan Field for the first game since classes began in Evanston and capacity restrictions were lifted at stadiums across the Big Ten.
