Three Matchups to Watch: Michigan State
Another week of football is upon us, and with that comes matchups to watch. This week, Northwestern will travel to East Lansing to take on the No. 20 Michigan State Spartans. The team is 3-1 with a loss to Arizona State and no meaningful wins. Let’s look at where this battle will be won.
Northwestern’s offense vs. second half ineptitude
It’s actually shocking how poorly the Northwestern offense has performed in the second half of all four of their games thus far. Against every Power 5 team they have played, the Wildcats have scored a grand total of 0 points. Against Akron, the offense accounted for 13 points, and 19 Akron points.
