Michigan State vs Illinois Official Game Thread
Spartan Stadium
East Lansing, MI
The Michigan State Spartans are in trouble. A win today over an inferior team in Illinois won’t help, but a loss could be a nail in the season. Spartan Nation has predicted that with a loss today, the Spartans will NOT make a bowl game. This is a must win.
While I think that the offensive coaches are good men, outside of two of them, I do not think they are good coaches. The head coach is a once-great coach struggling to find vindication. The players are talented but frustrated. Is this the last stand of Dantonio?
If the Spartans lose on Saturday, I do not think they make a bowl game. I think the players dig deep and find a way to get the win. Make it 21-10 Spartans. If MSU loses, this season is over and let the ensuing circus put up its tent. The Spartan faithful are angry...at their beloved head coach.
