• Leonardo

  

  MSU's first trip outside of the state of Michigan this year.

  I'm switching between this and the OSU game.
  Northwestern has pretty much dominated the game. The only thing the score is not 14-0 is a fumble on the goaline.
  NW is just running up and down the field on Sparty, while the NW dline is containing the MSU RBs.
  
  7-0 NW after 1.
• Leonardo

  

  Northwestern at the MSU 16
  
  Northwestern has 165 yards already
• ptown_trojans_1

  

  Nice FG by Northwestern there, 37 yarder.
  10-0 NW. Early in the 2nd.

  NW is always dangerous and they come with these qb's who are tricky.
• ptown_trojans_1

  

  Haha. MSU misses a FG, still 10-0 NW
• WebFire

  Looks like MSU is doing what most thought they would eventually do; lose a dumb game.
• Cleveland Buck

  

  Northwestern is a good football team. Everyone, myself included, counted them out in this one, but I wouldn't be shocked if they take down Sparty.
• mhs95_06

  I'm watching this game as I can't see the Buckeyes - no Big Ten in Marietta. It stays 10-0 as MSU misses the 38 yd FG attempt.

  Nice, nice run by the NW QB. NW in the redzone.
• mhs95_06

  Does the Big Ten finish the day with every team having a conference loss?
• ptown_trojans_1

  

  What an effort by the NW RB. He gained like 5 yards with the 2nd effort.
• WebFire

  NW is taking it to them.
• ptown_trojans_1

  

  NW runs it in.
  17-0 over Sparty.
  Awesome.
• ptown_trojans_1

  

  Sparty finally got a good drive and got a TD
  17-7, less than 3 to go in the half.
• mhs95_06

  MSU comes out strong to start the 2nd half and cuts it to 17-14.
• ptown_trojans_1

  

  Sparty with another good drive and 17-14 NW.
  We have a game now.
• mhs95_06

  Refs have been giving the Wildcats a lot of 1st downs!
• ptown_trojans_1

  

  I love this QB. Slippery cat.
  24-14, less than 3 in the 3rd.
• mhs95_06

  Persa will be sore tomorrow! 24-14.
• ptown_trojans_1

  

  Sparty with a fake punt, good pass on the NW 30, and then the next play they score.
  24-20 NW.
• ptown_trojans_1

  

  NW drives with shifty Persa and gets a FG.
  27-21 NW, under 10.
• Leonardo

  

  I still think Michigan State pulls this out. They will have the ball with over 9 1/2 minutes left, down only six.
• Leonardo

  

  Michigan State with 3rd and 2 at their own 28
  
  Cousins throws an incomplete pass and MSU will punt
• Leonardo

  

  Northwestern with a quick possession
  
  Michigan State gets a first down at their own 30 but Cousins is sacked for 10 yards; 2nd and 20
  
  Cousins comes right back and zings a pass for a 18-yard pickup; 3rd and 2 from their own 38
