7-3 Northwestern (End 1st)
Brian Lewerke fakes to Jefferson and fires a ball to Felton Davis that is deflected by multiple players and nearly picked off. Lewerke's third-down throw to Matt Sokol is a tad behind the tight end and dropped. Michigan State will punt.
Riley Lees returns the punt 6 yards to the Northwestern 49-yard-line.
