COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- While taking a stroll through the Michigan State football complex earlier this week, Mark Dantonio took a long look at mementos from the great teams he has coached over the past nine years.It just sort of hit me a little bit, where we are right now relative to where weve been, he said.The Spartans have finished in the Top 25 in six of the last nine years. They went 87-33 over that span, won four straight bowl games and three Big Ten championships.Thats where theyve been. Where they are now is nothing less than confounding.Michigan State (2-4, 0-3) will bring a four-game losing streak into Saturday nights game at Maryland (4-2, 1-2). The four defeats match the number of losses the Spartans absorbed in the last two years combined.Bad things are going to happen. Thats going to be a part of your life, Dantonio said. People have to handle problems. So thats our mindset. Thats what we have to do, and thats what we will do.Unless they can rebound with gusto, the Spartans run of nine straight bowl appearances will end.Its something weve done every year, Dantonio said. Weve sort of taken it for granted. I dont think you can obviously take things for granted right now. Were a 2-4 football team.Maryland first-year coach DJ Durkin is attempting to build the sort of dynasty Michigan State enjoyed through last season. He was headed in the right direction, winning his first four games, before a two-game skid pushed the Terrapins back to reality.Were coming off of two games that didnt turn out the way we wanted them to, Durkin said. We have to bounce back. This is how you find out what youre made of.---Some other things to know about the matchup between Michigan State and Maryland:QUARTERBACK ISSUES: Dantonio could play three different quarterbacks against the Terrapins. Or, he might choose one and stick with him. Senior Tyler OConnor was replaced as the starter last week by redshirt freshman Brian Lewerke. Both of them played in a 54-40 home loss to Northwestern. Damion Terry is also in the mix for Saturday. Maryland will start Perry Hills if hes recovered from a shoulder injury. He missed the second half of a loss to Penn State and watched from the sideline as true freshman Tyrrell Pigrome struggled last week in a 31-10 drubbing by Minnesota.BEEN THERE, DONE THAT: Former Michigan State quarterback Kirk Cousins cant believe whats happening to the football program at his alma mater. Its been a challenge this year, but that happens, said Cousins, now the starter for the Washington Redskins. I lost three of my first four games as a starting quarterback at Michigan State, he said. Ive always been a believer of the fact that tough times dont last, tough people do. Theyll be all right, theyll regroup, get it together.NO DEFENSE: The Spartans are allowing 30 points and 378 yards per game. Thats the most obvious explanation for the 2-4 start. You have to look at everything. Thats what weve done, Dantonio said. Well look at our leadership on the field, how we do things structurally, how we do things on the sideline. Well look at it all and try and get everything in order.LIKELY IFFY: Marylands standout kick returner and defensive back Will Likely is lost for the season with a torn ACL, the school announced Friday evening. Likely received the injury while returning a punt in the second quarter last week. In Marylands 37-15 loss to Michigan State in 2014, he amassed a school-record 228 yards in kickoff returns. He was tough on defense, too -- the 5-foot-7 senior had 14 tackles on Sept. 17 in a win over Central Florida.LIGHTS ON: This will be the Spartans third night game on the road. Its Marylands first at home under the lights, and a huge crowd is expected. The night game is an interesting thing in college football. Theres usually a pretty good atmosphere, Durkin said. At night, the fans are usually a little more excited and into the game. Being at home for a night game is great.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org Air Max Outlet Ireland . -- Anaheim Ducks defenceman Luca Sbisa will be out at least six weeks with a torn tendon in his right hand.
