NW Scoring Off/Def/SOS 31.5/22.8/49, MSU 30.3/22.4/53

Pretty evenly matched by stats and strength of schedule (SOS from Sagarin).

Remember how we had given up more yards per game (389.9) than we earned (389.4)? Northwestern isn't that much better--Total offense: 397.8 ypg, Total defense 385.3 ypg (only 12.5 ypg difference).
