One of the MANY REASONS the Spartans did so well the past two years, is because they remained relatively healthy. They only needed to replace one or two guys at a time. The cumulative effect of missing several guys at once does have an impact, no doubt. Three of them are all-americans or on all-america watch lists and others are from a position group that was already identified as the team's weakest. The "next man up" will simply not be as good especially when the guys around him are also the "next man up". At the same time, it is what it is. In the end a W or a L will be gained by each team. Just gotta strap 'em up and play their best game of the year. If MSU wins, it will be the best win against Ann Arbor during the Dantonio era. If they lose, far too much will be made of it, but it will suck just the same. It won't be over. "It will never be over". I don't think injuries are simply an "excuse" for any team. I think injuries have a real impact on games, but it falls into the old adage of "Don't deal with things that are out of your control". MSU still has to play their cards correctly and win. That's the bottom line.return2gloryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10627394589459313945noreply@blogger.com
