re: think we should "just reload" and beat the #2 and #3 teams in the country?

First of all, MSU wasn't the 3rd best team in the country when we played them

Second, it's not that we're expected to beat the 2nd and 3rd best team in the nation. But at least look competitive. We've gotten our asses completely whipped in both games

And losing players to the NFL is part of college football. Good thing we reel in top 10 recruiting classes. You'd think our coaches could develop our players and with the resources and facilities we have at our program, we'd at least look competitive in conference games
