Get To Know the Opponent: Northwestern
Reinhold Matay-USA TODAY Sports Football season is officially upon us, and a full year (hopefully) lies ahead. The Spartans open things up a little differently than usual, starting the season with a road conference game at Northwestern. MSU upset the 15th-ranked Wildcats last season, handing them their first loss of the year. It would be nice to do the same again to start the 2021 season.
