Any loss is tough but it seems the toughest losses are the not the ones where you are beaten by a superior team, but when you beat yourself. That it is where the MSU Bulldogs find themselves again on this Saturday. Had the kicker been able to get a kick through the uprights instead of hitting the upright, things would have turned out differently. Had the line done a better job at blocking, the PAT would not have been blocked and things would have been different. Had the offensive line done a better job blocking, more passes could have been thrown and caught and things would have been different. Instead it ended up MSU 13, UK 14.

Very similar things happened a few weeks ago which ended with MSU 2, Auburn 3. So close but this is football, not horseshoes. It is, however, MSU football—and we all used to it by now.
