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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Michigan State with 3rd and 2 at their own 28

Cousins throws an incomplete pass and MSU will punt

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
