Yep, a guy (Maxwell) making his first career start vs. a program that is 73-6 over the last 6 seasons and he struggles in that first first start, yea, let's just bench him him right away because he doesn't light it up.
Michigan State won this game exactly the way a lot of rational folks would have figured. ... they won because their defense held up their offense and because of Leveon Bell (and Dion Sims). That's the way it's going to be for Sparty until Maxwell gets his feet wet. He'll be fine. There are much easier ways for a QB to get his first start than playing Boise State in front of a national TV audience.
