LIVE BLOG: Wisconsin football at Northwestern

Badgers (8-2, 5-2 Big Ten) to battle Wildcats (7-4, 4-3) at Ryan Field

It’s the final week of the Big Ten season and nearly every game in the conference has title implications.

Beginning with Ohio State-Michigan this morning, the results of four games will have a direct impact on where the Wisconsin Badgers and Northwestern Wildcats will be headed a month from now. The Minnesota-Iowa and Michigan State-Penn State games also will be significant for their bowl hopes.

With a Wolverine victory in Ann Arbor, the Badgers could earn a share of the Big Ten title today for the first time since 1999. If the Buckeyes win, Wisconsin could move ahead of either Iowa or Penn State if either team loses.

Historically, Wisconsin has struggled on the road at Northwestern, but they have not played in Evanston since 2005, before Bret Bielema took over as head coach.

Join BH sports editors Michael Bleach and Jordan Schelling as they provide live blog coverage of Saturday’s game between the Badgers and Wildcats. They also hope to be joined by current and former sports editors Jonah Braun, Adam Holt and Tyler Mason, among others.
