Michigan State not ready to 'abandon ship' after tumbling to .500

East Lansing — Considering the deluge of water that was dumped on Spartan Stadium Saturday afternoon into the early evening, maybe Mark Dantonio’s approach to the rest of the season seemed fitting.

“You can’t abandon ship right now,” Dantonio said after Michigan State dropped its third straight, this time a 28-7 loss at the hands of No. 6 Penn State.

It was the third time in as many games the Spartans faced a team ranked in the top 10, and once again the Spartans did their best at proving they’re nowhere near the same level as those teams.
