How to watch Northwestern vs. Illinois: TV channel, live online streaming, game time, radio, betting line, more

For one final time in the 2015 regular season, the Northwestern Wildcats will take to the field Saturday, but this is anything but just another game. NU will make the short trek into Chicago to Soldier Field, the home of the Chicago Bears, to take on in-state rival Illinois.

The Wildcats, astoundingly, have an opportunity to go to 10-2. It would be the program's first 10-win regular season since 1995, and would keep alive hopes of the first 11-win season in program history.
