The Michigan State Spartan Football program is not having a good season, but a win on Saturay in Ann Arbor could go a long way in fixing that. The above video is DB David Dowell today talking about the game.
Mark Dantonio said of this game:
You know, I think that when you look at this football game, I think it's sort of become -- you really sort of throw the record out a little bit, pretty much like Coach Harbaugh said yesterday. There's been times where they have been 4-0 and we've been 1-3, yet have been able to find a way to win.
Those type of things have happened in the past. Right now, for me, my main consideration is our football team and getting them football game ready. We'll come in, compete, play hard. We just can't make mistakes to beat ourselves and I think if you look at our season right now and what's happened and what's transpired is we've beaten ourselves in some respects. Other times we've played good football teams. You're playing a good football team in this case, as well; you can't turn it over.
In the first five games, we had a very productive turnover ratio and in the last, I guess, four, it's probably been in the negative situation. That's what's hurt us. We've got 500-and-whatever yards offense, that type of thing, this past week, but the turnovers and the quick turnovers and the quick scores were the issue.
