If I were to pick a single word to describe MSU’s football season so far, the word would be “inconsistent.” Thinking back to the only to the ugly losses against Rutgers and Iowa, a different word might come to mind: “stinky.” But, then there is that tremendous win over Michigan. It seems like it was at completely different group of guys on that day.
Therein lies the problem. If MSU had simply been awful for three straight weeks, we would likely have come to the conclusion that they just are not a very good team. But, the team that soundly defeated the Wolverines two weeks ago was different.
