Two Games to Air on Big Ten Network on Nov. 8

Wisconsin-Indiana, Purdue-Michigan State to air at noon ET

CHICAGO – The Big Ten Network will televise two football games at noon ET on Saturday, Nov. 8. Wisconsin will travel to Indiana while Michigan State hosts Purdue. Both contests will be produced in high definition.

Fans can find the channel number for the game they want to see by entering their zip code and cable or satellite provider on this website: http://www.BigTenNetwork.com/GameFinder.

Most of the network's larger cable and both satellite affiliates offer "overflow" channels. For cable subscribers, the decision whether to air Big Ten Network "overflow" games is made by cable operators at the local level.

With just one conference loss entering this week's action, the Spartans remain firmly in the hunt for a Big Ten title. Michigan State holds a narrow 29-28-3 lead in the all-time series with Purdue. The Spartans won in a high-scoring 48-31 affair last year at Ross-Ade Stadium to break the Boilermakers' four-game winning streak in the series.

The Badgers and Hoosiers will play for the 55th time. Wisconsin has won the last three meetings and Indiana's last win in Bloomington came in 2002. For both teams, it will be a critical game to remain in the hunt for a bowl game.

This Saturday, the Big Ten Network will televise the Michigan-Purdue and Central Michigan-Indiana games at noon ET.
