The Spartans VS the Fighting Irish #2

After week one of our football schedule I’ll be honest I was worried. We played Furman university…. I know exactly what you’re thinking, Who the hell is that. There a small private school out of South Carolina that I never heard of. I thought we were going to go into our home field and just put an old fashioned butt whooping on them and win by like 40. But nope we let the pressure and the first game jitters get to us. We started off the game strong but once the second quarter came along we started choking and our offensive line wasn’t doing the hottest which caused our quarterback to be off with his throws. We barely scraped by a win and luckily won 28-13, I guess a win is a win right? With putting that W up in the win column we had a bye week the following week. Looking towards week three we had to put in a lot of time out on the practice field looking forward to playing Notre Dame. Going into the game they were ranked #18 in the nation, while we were sitting at #12. The last time we played them we also barely scraped out a win, so you already know they were looking for revenge. There quarterback Deshone Kizer is a big threat to be reckoned with alongside their wide receiver Tori Hunter Jr. Notre Dame punched state first scoring the first and only touchdown in the first quarter. Michigan state must of took offense because they came back scoring multiple touchdowns to make it 36-14 at halftime. It helped us out that we caused two turnovers and capitalized with back to back touchdowns. At this point I was so happy jumping off my couch at every huge play we had. It was funny because we watched the game over at my buddy’s house and a couple of our Notre Dame friends came over too. They were so upset screaming at their team every play it felt like. Whenever any team plays us no matter who it is, it is always a great sight to see the opposing fans get upset like that, it’s almost like it brings happiness to me. Going into the second half I was confident that we were going to continue these blow out but nope. It seemed like Michigan state was either running out of gas or the defense of coordinator was making unnecessary changes. Notre dame came out in the last quarter shocking the Spartans with two touchdowns making it 36-28. Luckily after those touchdowns the game was over and we ended up winning. Our running backs Gerald Holmes and L.J Scott had a fantastic game carrying our team to victory with a combined 35 carries for 198 yards with 3 touchdowns. While our quarterback made 19 of 26 passes for 241 yards with 2 touchdowns. Next week Mark Dantonio and the Michigan state Spartans have a battle against the Wisconsin Badgers, come back next week to see what happens.
