As we look back on MSU’s excruciating loss to Arizona State last weekend, everyone has an opinion on what went wrong and who is to blame. Was it the play-calling? the coaching? the execution? the refs? the added pressure of Dantonio breaking the record? the injuries? just bad luck? Well, I would argue that MSU’s misfortune was actually a combination of all those things. Sometimes more than one thing can be true at the same time.
At the end of the day, what everyone wants to know is if this team is actually going to wind up being good or not.
