Social media is heated up after the Spartans' loss to Michigan

The Paul Bunyan battle ended in a 24-17 loss for Michigan State.

It was a winnable game from the start, with the Spartans taking an early lead and seemingly exploiting every weakness the Michigan Wolverines had.

Still, they lost momentum early in the second half and the Wolverines never looked back.

The most forceful reaction on social media came to Michigan tight end Colston Loveland's comments after the game. He referred to Michigan State as “Little Brother.” Interestingly, Loveland reportedly began the scuffle at the end of the match by head-butting a Spartan.

One fan called out the No. 1 tight end in the country.

Another fan accused the Spartans of making avoidable mistakes. For one thing, the Spartans had no answer for the quarterback duo of Davis Warren and Alex Orji. Specifically the latter. Orji averaged over 10 yards per carry and was a first-down machine.

Warren, who has played poorly all season, was able to get on track and find Loveland in key moments of the second half. Loveland was the Wolverines' only weapon capable of doing damage, catching six passes for 67 yards and two touchdowns.

The fan also called out the lack of targets to freshman wide receiver Nick Marsh, who at just 18 years old is arguably the Spartans' biggest weapon. Marsh was only targeted five times. He had four catches for 42 yards and a critical touchdown.

He's a playmaker and The playing assignment didn't allow him to do what he does best.

The onside kick was another call that was questioned.

One report blamed the loss on turnovers and the referees. The Spartans failed to get a takeaway from the Wolverines, while Michigan was able to force and recover a fumble. Star linebacker Jordan Turner, arguably the defense's most valuable player, was sent off for a questionable targeting call.

The Spartans had six penalties for 35 yards, while the Wolverines had no flags.

Despite the Michigan win, Wolverines fans are still harsh on their underperforming and potentially out of his depth head coach Sherrone Moore. The Wolverines are 5-3 this season and could be coming off losses to Indiana, Oregon and Ohio State.

.500 could be a dream for this Wolverines team.
