East Lansing – It’s the old sports cliché – there’s no “I” in team.
That can apply to any sport, really, but in football it’s critical. Rarely will one person or a couple of players carry a team, especially if the rest of the team is struggling.
For Michigan State, a team that has won in recent seasons because of its outstanding chemistry, the “I” seems to be outweighing the team right now. It might not even be a conscious effort, but throughout its five-game losing streak, Michigan State has seen its share of individual gaffes. From an undisciplined penalty to a missed assignment, it’s all happened for the Spartans and it’s come from all experience levels.
