What happened

Notre Dame won 27-10 over Michigan State and moved to 3-0, which on paper is exactly where the fanbase wanted to be. The mood still soured. The turning point came in the second half, once the run blocking stopped collapsing and the game settled into a formality, but by then the damage to the fan psyche was done: "The OL looked terrible in the first half in runs. That was unacceptable." Even the pity ran one-sided, with one fan asking Sparty, "What are you doing?" Three wins, and the complaints are already itemized.
