If you can’t defend against scoring, you have to score whenever you get your hands on the ball, and Robinson is having an off day, with two picks in the end zone. Not looking good in the third quarter, down 30-10.
[Update after the game]
Well, actually, while they had a typically bad day, the defense did get several stops against the Spartans, and they played well enough to win if the offense had scored as much as they have been. Michigan State was just a better team on both sides of the ball today.
You could see early on that Michigan St.’s running game was just rolling right over Michigan. Your ground game has to be on top of things or it just all falls apart from there. Whether it’s offense or defense, when you control the middle of the line, you control the game.
