Big Ten football misery index: Michigan football and Michigan State turn back the clock

In case you missed it, Saturday was the annual night we turn our clocks back an hour.

<Did you forget? Go ahead and turn them back now. We’ll wait.>

You’re back? OK. Anyway, it was fitting, as several Big Ten football teams also dialed the clock back a bit.

In West Lafayette, Michigan State football turned the clock back to 1953-61, when it lost to the Boilermakers while ranked No. 6 or better four times in a nine-year span. Of course, those Spartans also won a couple of national titles in that span, so maybe it’ll work out for them.
