#21: Wildcat Romp, Part Deux

Northwestern 19 – #11 Michigan State 17
October 18, 1997 · Ryan Field · Evanston, IL

Eleven years after Saban’s first taste of defeat against Northwestern, it happened again, an unthinkable loss in Evanston. This time, the Saban was the head coach and the Spartans entered the game ranked 11th in the country riding a 5-0 record. Northwestern (2-5 entering the game) blocked a 28-yard field goal attempt on the final play of the game to secure the win for the Wildcats.

Having a field goal blocked on the final play of a game is a far cry from gaining 303 total yards and getting your arse kicked up and down the field by SMU. SMU never trailed in the game against Houston. They scored 28 points in the first half and Herman's team only scored 16 total for the whole game.
