After back-to-back embarrassing losses, it's gut-check time for Mel Tucker and Michigan State.
The Spartans were outscored 73-35 by Washington and Minnesota to drop to 2-2 on the season. In both games, Michigan State sputtered its wheels out of the gate and fell into early holes. The Spartans' defense gave up over 500 total yards and 30 points in both losses while the offense seems stuck in first gear, unable to stay on the field and keep up with the opposing offense.
The Spartans will have to try to answer these questions on the road in Maryland.
