MARQUETTE -- Kickoff for this afternoon's Northern Michigan University football game at Wayne State has been moved from noon to 1 p.m., NMU Sports Information announced on Thursday evening.
The Wildcats are traveling to Detroit to take on the Warriors at Tom Adams Field.
NMU is looking for its second straight victory after Northern won for the first time this season and first time in first-year head coach Matt Janus' tenure after posting a 27-10 home triumph over Roosevelt last Saturday.
With a 1-3 record in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, the Wildcats are ahead of Wayne State, which is winless at 0-8 overall and 0-4 in the GLIAC.
In last year's season-ending game when NMU hosted Wayne State in the Superior Dome, redshirt freshman running back Noah Dobert cemented his All-American status by gaining a near all-time NCAA Division II record 406 yards rushing in a 45-11 victory.
Today's game is available to watch online on FloSports and listen to on radio station WUPT 100.3 FM The Point. Fans can also visit the Northern athletics website at nmuwildcats.com and look under the football schedule for links to live video, live audio, live statistics and a preview.
NMU has two games remaining after today, including the home- and season-ending game against Saginaw Valley State at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 14, in the dome.
