Welcome to your post-game takeaways where we count down the days until the next basketball game (2) as well as until the end of the football season (14). Yes, the Spartans were bad on Saturday outside of the first quarter, and that led to a 44-10 blowout loss.
Michigan may have run up the score in the fourth quarter while up 34-10, but we’ll never know because Michigan State’s defense didn’t come to play.
It’s unfortunate to see, but Michigan State has lost two straight to Michigan for the first time since 2007 and this was the biggest Spartan loss in the Mark Dantonio era.
