I hope you are bundled up at home for this one because it is a blizzard in Champaign! We've got Northwestern (6-5, 4-4 Big Ten) at Illinois (7-4, 4-4 Big Ten) for the Land of Lincoln Trophy. The battle for the Hat will kick off at 6:40 pm CT and air on Fox.

Wildcats—donate blood in Abbott and the Big Ten’s We Give Blood competition to help NU win $1 million for campus health initiatives and score a limited edition Homefield t-shirt at bigten.org/abbott/northwestern.

Hank would very often let the opposing team score on the opening drive, then make adjustments and lock down for the rest of the game. Hopefully the 'Cats can hold them to a FG attempt here, then make those adjustments.

Edit: The 'Cats stuffed 'em on 3rd down. Great!

Edit: And the Illini went for it on 4th instead of kick the FG, and came up short. Can't complain!
