EAST LANSING – Numbers can lie, but these are historic and horrific.
One week, Michigan State’s offense barely cracks 200 total yards, the Spartans’ fewest since 2011.
The next, the defense gives up its most points of Mark Dantonio’s 10 seasons as coach.
“Like I tell our players,” Dantonio said after the Sept. 24 loss to Wisconsin that began the current mess, “you can always, always get worse.”
Welcome to worse.
And prepare for worst-case scenarios.
Forget about who the quarterback is, MSU is a severely flawed team all around. The Spartans are 2-4 for the first time since 1994, the year George Perles was fired.
