Michigan State football won its first three games of the season, but all it took was one loss to get everyone to jump off the bandwagon.
I've seen fans exhibit serious impatience for the Jonathan Smith rebuild, and I get it. The defense hasn't gotten any better from last year's nightmare, while the offense is looking impressive. The Spartans aren't going to be able to do much with a no-show defense every week, though.
It all started against Boston College, surrendering 40 points and nearly 400 passing yards, and it continued against Youngstown State and USC.
