Losing 28-10 to UCLA is bad; being the team UCLA fans apologize for beating is the actual rock bottom.

What happened

Michigan State went to the Rose Bowl and came home 2-6, dropped 28-10 by a UCLA team that spent the afternoon being told it hadn't actually done much. The turning point wasn't a snap; it was the moment the scoreboard stopped mattering and fans started grading the program instead of the game. One put it plainly: "I am so sick of watching garbage-tier football from this program." Another noted that beating Michigan State "shouldn't bring a comment like this." Being the measuring stick for someone else's low bar is its own kind of October.
