It doesn’t look good right now for Michigan State’s football team. The Spartans are one loss away from the longest losing streak in school history. This after the winningest three years in the program’s modern history.
It’s tough to make sense of how this happened. What’s tougher is figuring out what it means for the future.
Are Mark Dantonio’s best days behind him? Not necessarily. It would be silly to dismiss his history and assume he never will compete for a national title again.
But he’s not going to beat U-M every seven of eight, as he did before this season.
