Michigan State Football: 5 takeaways from Week 8 loss to Michigan

There was no one more disappointed in Saturday’s outcome than Michigan State head coach Mark Dantonio. Forget all the pre-game drama with the walk-through — I mean, who really cares at this point? — because there was an actual game played on Saturday afternoon.

Michigan was dominant on the defensive side of the ball and did just enough offensively, wearing down a defense that was on the field for a majority of the game, to get the job done.

Things were knotted up at 7-7 before Shea Patterson found a streaking Donovan Peoples-Jones for a 79-yard pitch-and-catch.
