Jonathan Smith has somehow lived to see another week, and it feels like the second-year head coach is on borrowed time in East Lansing as the Michigan State vs. Minnesota game approaches.
The Spartans have lost five straight games while Minnesota won two in a row before getting lambasted by Iowa, 41-3, on the road. It wasn't pretty, and it looks like the Gophers aren't as good as some may have thought after a 5-2 start with only losses at Cal and at Ohio State.
Now, Minnesota will get an opportunity to bounce back against Michigan State on Saturday afternoon at home.
