Michigan State this is going to be the first of a lot of losses in Fitz's tenure where you will be asking yourself "How the fuck did we manage to lose that game?" 

Best of luck. Fitz had gotten extremely complacent and stubborn by the end of his tenure here and that doesn't seem to have changed. 

Re: Northwestern that was the first time all season where I thought the coaches mismanaged the game but, it all worked out

It's their 2nd loss like that. They lost to us in OT last week

I mean in fairness we were down 17-0 almost immediately. More of a “how the fuck did we manage to make that a game” rather than OP’s sentiment.
