Consider this:
- SEC road game
- 5 starters out with injuries
- Basically two fumble recoveries for TDs for Ark
- Week after playing Alabama to the wire in an emotional game.
- Cold, windy, rainy, 11:00 AM game
Normal programs don't win games like today. Regardless of what you think of Arkansas, they were still in their home stadium, with SEC players, trying to save their coach's job.
I absolutely want to punch MSU football in the face today for how poorly they played, but, at the end of the day, they found a way & that is what top shelf programs find a way to do.
Hopefully, we will be more healthy against OM & I expect us to play like our normal selves.
Throw this game tape in the trash, but don't forget that the culture that Dan Mullen has built at MSU allowed us to win this game. Appreciate it because it ain't normal & not very many programs could've overcome today what we overcame.
