Big Ten schedule 2012: Start times set for Nov. 3 games

The Big Ten conference schedule is coming to a close as teams play their first games in November this coming weekend. It'll be a big Saturday with plenty of critical games and now we know when they'll all be kicking off and where you can catch them.

Michigan will go on the road to face the Minnesota Golden Gophers in a big game for the Wolverines as the Nebraska Cornhuskers took over first place in the Legends Division yesterday with a win. After the Wolverines' early start at noon Eastern time, they can head to the locker room and see if their in-state rival, the Michigan State Spartans, can do them any favors as they face off against the Cornhuskers in East Lansing at 3:30 p.m.

The rest of the Big Ten schedule will kick off at 3:30 p.m. as well with the Illinois Fighting Illini heading to Columbus to take on the Ohio State Buckeyes. The Penn State Nittany Lions will make the trip to Indiana to play the Purdue Boilermakers. Rounding out the schedule will be the Iowa Hawkeyes visiting the Indiana Hoosiers.

The Northwestern Wildcats and Wisconsin Badgers have the week off.
