Underwhelming At Home

Who would have thought heading into the 2012 season, with hopes so high in East Lansing, that we would look back in late November and say that Michigan State's most impressive performance occurred in August? That was that Friday night when the nationally ranked Spartans pounded out a tough 17-13 win over nationally ranked Boise State (see my pic at right) in Andrew Maxwell's college debut, behind 210 yards by workhorse tailback Le'Veon Bell.

Seems so, so long ago. Since then they've lost at home to Notre Dame, Ohio State, Iowa (on homecoming) and Northwestern this past Saturday. Not to mention that other in-state loss to the school with the funny helmets. Who knew that the Sparty team many picked to win in December in Indianapolis would be heading to Minneapolis on the last weekend of the season, still searching for bowl eligibility?
