Losing to B Y WHO..I mean BYU #5

I don’t even know what to say about Michigan State football this year…. Actually I do, were pathetic!!! We keep losing all these games that hands down there’s no reason for us to lose. First it was Wisconsin, then Indiana, then this week BYWho…. I mean BYU. I didn’t think that losing our starting quarterback (entered the NFL draft) would make such a big difference. Connor Cook was an outstanding quarterback for us that dominated the competition, leading us to conference championship games and even major bowl games. You would think our quarterback now O’Connor would have opened his eyes and learned a damn thing or two from him while he was a backup so he could be a reliable QB for us this year. He’s also a fifth year senior, but that don’t make a difference if you can’t learn during practice and succeed on the game field. In my opinion I would have canned him and have him riding the bench where he belongs. We have to realize that he is not our future, and with him gone next year we should put in one of our younger QBs in so they can at least gain some experience. We already know for a fact that were not making it to the football playoff, and in my opinion if we don’t at least make it there the season is a fail. So with putting in a younger quarterback it’s just preparing us for the future, we have nothing else to lose anyways, expect respect. The Spartans haven’t won since, dropping their first two Big Ten contests and Saturday’s final non-conference game to BYU. Seven games remain in the regular season, including increasingly difficult tests against Michigan and Ohio State, and MSU sits with a 2-3 record. Six wins are needed to qualify for a bowl game, and injuries and inconsistency on offense and defense make reaching that total appear a 50-50 proposition as the 31-14 loss to the Cougars. Mark Dantonio said in earlier weeks “I don’t want a quarterback controversy.” Well, Mark Dantonio has one now after he wouldn’t firmly stand behind Tyler O’Connor as his starter. His offense languished after a first-drive TD under the fifth-year senior, even if the issues once again weren’t all his fault. Damion Terry entered the game in the fourth quarter, threw an interception, then moved MSU to its second score. The junior finished 6 of 10 for 63 yards passing with a sack and the interception, while O’Connor was 7 of 11 for 58 yards and got sacked twice.
