Michigan State looking flat

Still in the 1st quarter up in Evanston, but Michigan State is not looking like the #7 team in the country right now. Love him or hate him, but Pat Fitzgerald is the master of these types of games, and I would not be surprised to see Northwestern win.

... and as I type this Northwestern fumbles on Michigan State's 1-yard line. So that shows you what I know.
 
I held off posting just in case they didn't get in the endzone. NU looks like their talent level has gone dramatically. They really look like a MAC team. Kind of goes with their stadium.

Totally disagree. Persa is a great quarterback. He has a lot of foot speed, but unlike Denard Robinson, he can actually throw. I do not look forward to matching up with him.
 
Northwestern plays their best the first time I watch them each year. Too bad that has always been against Iowa. I'm watching NW today so they get that good one out of the way and can be their usual selves once the Iowa game rolls around.

The MAC also often has great QB's. But seriously, look at the entire squad. They don't have the overall personnel they have had for the last decade. Although, they do have so nice looking freshmen playmakers.

MSU is flat.

I'm going to be so ****** if MSU finds a way to lose this game a week before we play them.

Meh, I'm not going to sweat it. If Michigan State wins, great, Iowa gets a marquee matchup at home. If Northwestern wins, they have a real shot to be 8-1 when Iowa goes to Evanston, which would definitely put them in the top 15. Their next two games are at Indiana and at Penn State.

... and 17-0 Wildcats.

My wife uses the text option on directv so you see what the announcers are saying. I usually turn it off but have yet to to so... however, I find it amusing they keep typing Mild Cats. Wonder if the person doing the typing is a State fan or something?
 
MSU does look flat. However, NW is taking advantage of field position and did not let the fumble at the one get them down. Let's see what MSU has in the tank to come back.

Absolutely. Sorry I didn't say they were as talented as a MAC team. They are way better. Just saying they looked like one. I am used to seeing guys like Barnett, Woodley, and Sutton on that team. They just don't have those types of athletes right now.
