this team was lost at the start of the 2nd half against Mich St.
At the time, this was a team that had lost 2 close games to good opponents.....games that could have gone either way. Sparty comes to town leading the Big 10 and we take it to them in the 1st half. We have a chance to bury this team in the 2nd half.....I mean absolutely bury them....something ala Wisky vs. Indiana bury them.
But what does the coaching staff do? Instead of continuing to push the foot to the throat and instill some more passion and attack mentality into the team, we ease up and coast to a win by doing nothing but simply run the clock out.
Take a look at our offense after that game. We go from scoring 30 in a half against the co-Big 10 champs to scoring a total of 83 points in the next 17 quarters to close out the season.
In essence, this coaching staff neutered the team the 2nd half of MSU.
