Saturday's match-up: Nebraska at Northwestern

Nebraska (0-5, 0-3 Big Ten) at Northwestern (2-3, 2-1)

Saturday, 11 a.m., Ryan Field, Evanston, Illinois

TV: ABC (Marc Jones, Dusty Dvoracek, Molly McGrath)

WHAT’S AT STAKE: You get the sense Nebraska is oh-so-close to breaking through for its first victory of the season, even though Northwestern is no pushover. The Wildcats are well-coached, well-disciplined and always a tough out for the Huskers. Still, Nebraska has never lost in three trips to Evanston since joining the Big Ten, and thousands of fans dressed in red will negate any home field advantage for Northwestern, which is 0-3 at home and 2-0 on the road.
