Every week, our Ian McCafferty will go back and critically review one or more plays from the past Saturday's game. These are the plays that, more than any others, were crucial in determining the outcome of the game. He'll check the film and break down the how and why of those decisive few seconds.
Without a Northwestern football game this weekend, we don’t actually have a play to break down, so instead we’re going to take a look at Northwestern’s opponent this week, Michigan State. The Spartans have been a major disappoint so far this season, as they sit at 2-3 on the season and have lost three straight.
