Following an 11-win season for Michigan State in head coach Mel Tucker’s second season, you could’ve expected some recession, some setbacks, but a 2-2 start would’ve come as a surprise.
But in the past two weeks, Michigan State dropped out of the polls from No. 11 nationally after enduring consecutive losses by a combined score of 73-35, the former of the defeats coming as the initial reality check and the latter confirming that neither loss was a fluke.
“There’s really nothing that happens out there that shocks me, just because I’ve just seen too much football,” Tucker said following the loss to Minnesota Saturday.
