Come on Sparty...show up today.

They are up 17-0 now. I havent seen much but just missed Fitz going on 4th down and midfield and not getting it leading to sparty TD and 10 point lead. Very out of character for Fitz to gamble when you have a really good defense.
 
Northwestern has had an incredibly thin margin for error all season. The announcer just said for 3/5 games they failed to exceed 300 yards of offense, yet they won them all.

That being said, they came back from the same score vs Iowa and there is no doubt in my mind that Rocky has an INT or two in him before the end of the game.
 
Big 10 championship is based on winning %. Maybe they lose two of the last three and get one covid-out. We win out and our winning % is better. Food for thought. MN can beat them. Heck Illinois can beat them.

Oh they are beatable and sparty is showing how to do it by running the ball really well, no turnovers so far, Lombardi with 3 big runs.

Fitzy usually does it with smoke and mirrors defense and a good running and kicking game

It would be fun to make it interesting if sparty can hang on...might create a bit of ifs and buts misery though for us :)
 
jNW is inside the 30 driving again on Sparty. They score here its over for Sparty. its happening again
 
Would it be outlandish to claim that Iowa is the best team in the West right now? I assume that MSU will beat NW. MSU leads by 3 with 33 seconds to go. MSU set to punt. No TO’s left for NW. NW 80 yards away. Wow. Game over.

Iowa will beat ILL and WI.
 
Yes Iowa Is the best in the West. Northwestern is a mirage.
Eh, they probably go 5-5 in a best of ten series against one another. Northwestern's defense is salty - they never allow the long, sustained drives which Iowa has given up to Purdue, NW, and Nebraska. Both teams are flawed offensively, with a slight edge to Iowa as NW doesn't have players to the same caliber as Goodson, AJ, and Linderbaum on that side of the ball. QB play is about the same (poor).
