Eastern Illinois University football will look to pick up their 2nd consecutive victory as they travel upstate to face the Northwestern Wildcats.
EIU (1-1) is taking on their 2nd Big 10 team of the season, more than the rest of the Big South-OVC conference has played combined.
The Panthers' offense was key in their most recent victory against Indiana State, as quarterback Pierce Holley threw for 268 yards and a touchdown while star running back MJ Flowers recorded 93 yards and a touchdown on 24 carries.
Northwestern (1-1) will be led by their run game, which has accumulated 282 total yards through their first two contests.
The Wildcats are fresh off of a double-overtime loss to the ACC's Duke Blue Devils.
EIU and Northwestern kicks off at 6:30 on Saturday night in Lanny and Sharon Martin Stadium while renovations on their permanent home, Ryan Field, continue.
