It was another rough one on the gridiron for the Spartans this week

It was another rough one on the gridiron for the Spartans this week.

Michigan State’s offense struggled to get much going and made too many critical mistakes in a 31-9 loss against Maryland on Saturday. This was the second straight double-digit loss for the Spartans and dropped Michigan State to 2-2 overall and 0-1 in Big Ten play.

So how bad truly was it against the Terps? Chris Solari of the Detroit Free Press and Graham Couch of the Lansing State Journal are here to break down this lackluster performance from the Spartans and offer up their perspectives on what went wrong on Saturday.

Michigan State vs. Maryland: Can Spartans bounce back to save season?

See how the Spartans Wire staff sees the MSU-Maryland game playing out this weekend

This week feels like a game that’ll essentially make or break the entire 2023 season for Michigan State.

Will a challenging schedule ahead, the Spartans already find themselves in a back-against-the-wall situation in their Big Ten home opener against Maryland. Last week’s blowout loss against Washington proved Michigan State will not compete at the highest level of the Big Ten this year, but reaching a bowl game is still in play should the Spartans bounce back this week against the Terps.

Maryland enters this matchup a perfect 3-0 on the year but quite frankly hasn’t been tested yet this year. This will also mark the first road game of the season for the Terps — who have struggled away from home under head coach Mike Locksley with a 6-13 road record since he took over in 2019. It should also be noted that of his six road wins, none were against teams that finished the season with a winning record.

So can Michigan State — who’s listed as a touchdown underdog — pull off the upset and get back on track this week against Maryland? Check out our predictions below:

Advice and prediction

It’s hard to have much faith in the Spartans right now, especially against an offense that likes to throw the ball around the field like Maryland. The one thing you have to remember is that under Mel Tucker when the Spartans have lost it’s always been by double-digits. So the trend here is to either pick an outright victory for Michigan State or Maryland to cover the spread with a convincing win. I may regret this decision — or change my mind later this week — but today I’m going to call for the Michigan State upset.

Prediction: Michigan State – 34, Maryland – 31

MSU Football tops Maryland to setup top 10 showdown with Ohio State

MSU improves to 9-1 on the season and continues to control their destiny in the Big Ten title race with 40-21 victory over Maryland

[mm-video type=video id=01fmc204vd3vhy6cddef playlist_id=01eqbz825g32p3akwt player_id=none image=https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/video/thumbnail/mmplus/01fmc204vd3vhy6cddef/01fmc204vd3vhy6cddef-2f65a65d0d92916db2308283ff53fd24.jpg]

Like many Michigan State games this season, it wasn’t always pretty but the Spartans found a way to pick up the win.

Michigan State remained perfect at home this year with a 40-21 victory over Maryland on Saturday. The win moved Michigan State to 9-1 and 6-1 in Big Ten play on the year.

The Spartans never trailed against Maryland, but this by no means was an easy going victory for Michigan State. The Spartans needed multiple defensive stops in their own end in the second half to help keep a comfortable lead throughout.

Michigan State jumped out to an early 13-0 lead over the Terps and led by as many as 20 points in the first half. The Spartans ended the opening frame with a 27-13 advantage over Maryland.

The Spartans were able to add to their lead early in the second half but the Terrapins responded right away to get the deficit back to only 13 points. From there, it was a back-and-forth sequence of defensive stops before Michigan State finally pushed their lead to 19 points on Kenneth Walker’s second touchdown of the game in the fourth quarter. That ended up being the final score of the game.

The Spartans were led offensively by the three-headed monster of quarterback Payton Thorne, Walker and wide receiver Jayden Reed. Thorne finished the game with 287 passing yards, four touchdowns and one interception. Walker had 172 total yards and two touchdowns, and Reed had 114 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

With the win, Michigan State sets up a major matchup with Ohio State next week. The Buckeyes easily beat Purdue on Saturday, and both teams will now enter this game with the winner taking the top spot in the Big Ten East Division with one week to go in the season.

Kickoff from Columbus, Ohio next week is scheduled for 12 p.m. EST. The game will be televised nationally on ABC.
