Finally, following a 244-day respite from Wildcat football, the drought ends tomorrow night, as Northwestern “welcomes” the Michigan State Spartans to Ryan Field for the inaugural match of their 2021 season. Of course, hostile feelings will be aplenty in the home crowd given the outcome of last year’s NU-MSU showdown.
With both teams having a lot to prove to their doubters (Northwestern for their youth and inexperience, Michigan State for playing so poorly the majority of last year), there will be a lot to learn from the two squads’ performance on Friday night. That’s where The Only Colors’ Ryan O’Bleness has come to our aide, offering his thoughts and predictions on the upcoming contest as our friendly neighborhood Spartan expert on this edition of the Interviewing the Enemy series.
