After losing in consecutive weeks (in demoralizing fashion) to two Big Ten rivals in Ohio State and Wisconsin, MSU fell to number seven in the Detroit Free Press’ weekly Big Ten Power Rankings and there they remain after the bye week.
Here is what Rainer Sabin of the Detroit Free Press had to say about MSU:
“Not in the amount of time this sentence was written has any MSU player entered his name in the transfer portal, which may come as a surprise for those who have followed the steady stream of defections in the last month. Six members of the Spartans are on their way out of East Lansing, where there is a climate of unrest enveloping Mark Dantonio’s program. Two consecutive losses haven’t helped ease concerns and now a date with undefeated Penn State awaits.”
As Sabin said, Michigan State will face undefeated Penn State Saturday which could either really help or really hurt morale in East Lansing.
