Dissapointing week 4

Disappointment is the first thing that comes to mind when Michigan state played this week. We came off an embarrassing loss to Wisconsin in week three, getting waxed 30-6. You would think that mark Dantonio and the other coaches would work the team to the ground during practice all week hoping that they would get motivated from the butt whooping the week before but nope. In week four we played against Indiana Hoosiers which had a 2-1 record going into the game, the same as us. Michigan state is a banged up football team in both physical and psychological sense. The Spartans game at Indiana was a tricky one sense the Hoosiers up tempo offense has given many other teams struggles before. In the first quarter state failed on their first drive to score points, but hit a big play on their second possession. Tyler O’Connor found R.J Shelton behind the Indiana defense catching an 86-yard touchdown putting them up early 7-0 in the first quarter.at halftime the score was also7-0 but penalties were killing us. MSU nearly had as many penalties as O’Connor had completions (7 penalties for 60 yards, while O’Connor was 9-20). In the third quarter it was a strange looking play but somehow it worked. Our quarterback hit a wide open Delton Williams for a 24-yard touchdown pass to give the Spartans a 14-0 cushion. Later on before the end of the quarter Indiana’s trickery worked out while they did a jet sweep hand off and then threw for a touchdown. Bringing the game that much closer (14-7) I was getting pretty nervous because we were looking sloppy and just not pushing the ball. Soon after that MSU had busted coverage while their QB pump faked the safety and converted on a game tying 22-yard touchdown pass. At this point I was on the verge of breaking something. With 4:38 left in the fourth quarter a tired Spartan defense has ANOTHER break down as they found an open wide receiver in the end zone for a 15-yard touchdown to give Indiana their first lead of the game. What hurt us even more was our best defensive tackle got ejected for targeting the quarterback on the play. With valuable time running out in the fourth quarter we drove down the field and our running back had a 4-yard touchdown run that called back because of ANOTHER penalty. Right after that though with 11 seconds left we had a touchdown pass to our tight end to tie the game up 21-21. To overtime we went where we choked and their kicker made a 33-yard field goal to win the game 24-21. Words can’t describe how upset I am with the Spartans this year. I also gave up all faith in our quarterback because he is just straight garbage. Hopefully we can pull our heads out of our asses next week as we play BYU next.
