The Northwestern Wildcats will host the No. 16 Michigan State Spartans on Saturday afternoon in Week 9. Here is how to watch this Big Ten game online.
It will be Week 9 of the 2017 college football season this weekend. One game happening in the Big Ten will be between the No. 16 Michigan State Spartans (6-1) and the Northwestern Wildcats (4-3).
Kickoff from Ryan Field in Evanston will be at 3:30 p.m. ET on Oct. 28. ESPN will have the telecast. The available live streams for this Big Ten game can be found on WatchESPN and on FuboTV.
Michigan State seems to have rebounded nicely from its terrible 2016 campaign. The Spartans are 6-1 on the season and the No. 16 team in the nation. They are a perfect 4-0 in the Big Ten. Michigan State’s only loss on the year was to the rival Notre Dame Fighting Irish, a team that only has one loss on the year as well.
Northwestern enters play at 4-3 and very much in the mix to get to bowl eligibility. Playing in the inferior Big Ten West certainly has its perks. Northwestern isn’t a world beater by any means, but could definitely be able to pull off the upset of a team like Michigan State. The Wildcats play hard for their head coach in Pat Fitzgerald.
