It’s OK to admit it. A week ago, it felt like the sky was falling. The idea that the Michigan State Spartans could eke out a victory on Saturday over the Illinois Fighting Illini seemed like some far-fetched caper from a spy novel. This particular doctor gave the Spartans almost no chance. But we were wrong, very wrong. And I think that I know the reason.

Despite some of the noise coming from other fanbases, the fact that Michigan State was able to gut out the victory speaks volumes about the players, the coaching staff and the culture in East Lansing.
