I've been putting this off for two weeks, but seeing as how it's game day, I can't procrastinate any longer.
Well, the Furman game wasn't quite what I expected. Though I never felt the Spartans were in danger, it was closer than I'd have preferred and it was not an enjoyable game to watch whatsoever.
Nobody knows what to think about this MSU football team, and Mark Dantonio prefers it that way. They enter Notre Dame Stadium this evening as a total enigma.
It's important to not allow the result of tonight's game completely color our expectations for the rest of the season. It'll be a difficult environment for the Spartans, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if they lost. I'm not trying to be pessimistic, just realistic.
One thing I've learned over the last nine years, however: doubt or question a Mark Dantonio team at your peril.
If the Spartans lose, they can still go on to have a great season, as happened in 2011 and 2013.
