After an offseason that felt like an eternity, Northwestern football returns to the gridiron to open their season against Big Ten East foe Michigan State. The Spartans are an up-and-coming squad that return lots of production and have brought in some talented transfers under second-year head coach Mel Tucker. Last year’s game will without a doubt be on the minds of both teams, and a win for the Wildcats means that they could start the season at 1-0 in the conference rankings.
