If you’re at a loss for words after Michigan State football’s 38-13 loss to a 1-4 UCLA team, you’re not alone. You have no idea how difficult it is to write about a team that doesn’t look like it wants to compete anymore. The last three games have been rough.
Michigan State came into Saturday’s home game against UCLA as a 7.5-point favorite, but the Spartans couldn’t cover, and actually got beat straight up by what felt like a million points.
The game was essentially over at halftime.
Michigan State found itself down 24-7 at the half, and despite getting the ball to start the second half, the Spartans didn’t score again until the fourth quarter when backup quarterback Alessio Milivojevic hit Nick Marsh for a meaningless touchdown.
