If MSU had beaten OSU, it would be a trap game. Never heard of a trap game coming off a loss. He'll, I thought were about to see angry MSU, and was kind of pissed that we were going to waste it on a home game with Rutgers.
If it were a case of letting OSU beat us twice, I'd have expected MSU slow out of the gates, but instead MSU scored the first 9 points and ran out to a 19-7 lead, then got outscored the rest of the way.
I just think it's as simple as MSU is slumping right now.
