Three wide-open touchdowns missed, three points short to Northwestern, and the fold-the-program crowd is back.
The emotional rollercoaster
Michigan State fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Michigan State lost 21-24 to Northwestern on Saturday, which is the kind of sentence that requires no further explanation to anyone who has watched this team for seven weeks. The turning point wasn't a turnover or a blocked kick; it was the throws that never arrived, three receivers "wide open," two of them "absolutely inexcusable." At 2-5, the board has stopped arguing about play-calling and moved on to arithmetic: "2-10 incoming. Fold the program." Misery dipped from 97 to 79, which counts as progress here.
What fans said
“Mark Dantonio checked out his last couple seasons, and had a bunch of coordinators he just shuffled around so the program stagnated.”
