Sparty gets beat deep when safety overcommits to the run and there is no help and NW receiver is open by 15 yards to complete a 77-yard catch and run, giving Wildcats a  first quarter lead after MSU intercepted Thorson and put up a field goal.

Looks like Capron's crew is off a one-year suspension from doing Big Ten East games. Last week, it was assigned PSU-OSU and this week gets this game in E. Lansing. The crew, which did only one Michigan game last season following the blowup in Columbus the year before, is now doing this East-West division contest. Can only assume the crew is now getting higher profile matchups.

Still got a bowl assignment last year.

Another max protect deep ball TD gives NW an 11 point lead early in the second quarter. Thorson is a very high percentage thrower in the first quarter, 84 percent. His passing numbers drop after opposition adjusts in the second half. NW needs to maintain defensive leverage in this game.

I hope Jim is watching the NW-MSU game. When we play State, we should pass every single down. Seriously. Every down. Maybe run in the second half if we're up three scores.

Well, I live east of the stadium and the sun is out here in western Wayne County. We should be OK for the moment, I would imagine. I would really like to see the limited to no commercial thing, well, be a thing quite honestly.
