EAST LANSING — In a game where the Spartan defense thoroughly dominated, their offense was nowhere to be found. Sure, they beat ASU in just about every statistical category possible, but at the end of the day, not enough plays were made.
MSU’s offense was undisciplined (six accepted penalties for 36 yards) throughout the game, including their final attempt at overtime with too many men on the field.
There’s simply no excuse, and at this point, the “lack of execution” justification for the offense has been played out. Having said that, this isn't entirely on them.
“I fumbled away one that probably would have been a touchdown,” said Brian Lewerke when asked what the biggest problem was when it came to finishing drives.
