We are two-thirds of the way through the 2015 Michigan State football season and we now know what kind of team we have before us — kind of. The Spartans are 8-0 and are looking like one of the top teams in the country to contend for a national title.
Many people are wondering whether or not this team has the capability and talent to make it all the way, and head coach Mark Dantonio loves the kind of doubt his guys are receiving. Playing as the underdog is what helps this program thrive, and that has led MSU to four 11-plus win seasons in five years — quite possibly nearing five in six years.
