Nicely, that wasn't very enjoyable. In a sport that felt like a must-win, or, not less than, a 'must-compete', Michigan State soccer went to Madison and obtained completely crushed by Wisconsin on Saturday, 31 to three, in what was fairly simply the worst sport of the season for the s.
Under, we put collectively our high three takeaways from the loss.
Contents
1. Time for some adjustments
If this sport was not less than moderately shut, I'd in all probability say, attempt to maintain teaching up the starters and see if you happen to can eke out a .500 season. With a 31 to three loss to the s, I believe that ship has sailed and it's time to let some youthful gamers get some reps and put some play on tape.
2. At the very least the Spartans confirmed self-discipline
Not precisely one of the best silver lining right here, nevertheless it's nonetheless notable that MSU solely had one penalty for 5 yards on this sport and solely gave up two sacks. That may be a signal that Pat Fitzgerald nonetheless has the locker room and is establishing his tradition. As soon as the expertise is there to satisfy that tradition, we might see a pleasant period daybreak at Michigan State.
3. Offense truly had some good drives, simply couldn't end
No doubt, the offense has clearly been the worst a part of this workforce this 12 months, nevertheless it's not like they’re fully inept. The difficulty this 12 months has largely been the flexibility to complete drives. Alessio Milivojevic led six drives into Badgers' territory, however the Spartans simply couldn't end. It didn't assist that they went 1-for-6 on fourth down.
