When you average just 342 yards per game which was good for 117th in the country, your offense isn’t going to get much respect.
Michigan State started the season strong, putting up big numbers in a 38-31 win over Utah State in East Lansing, but then things got ugly. The Spartans managed just 13 points against Arizona State, 19 points against Northwestern at home, seven points and 94 yards against Michigan, six points against Ohio State, six against Nebraska, 14 on Rutgers and six versus Oregon.
Finding the end zone was a major issue for Michigan State in 2018 but the receivers, when healthy, were a problem for defenses.
