Mark Dantonio stood by himself, the 39-yard mark at Michigan Stadium a line of solitude and smoldering.

There was 2:33 left Saturday in the 13th-year Michigan State football coach’s worst loss to rival Michigan. The 14th-ranked Wolverines had just tacked on another touchdown. Cornerback Kalon Gervin got out of position, Cornelius Johnson strolled down the sideline as Dantonio stood with his hands on his hips, glaring at the scoreboard as the remaining fans hooted and hollered.
