This semi-interesting article details all of Sparty's losses this season, attempts to find something positive in it all:

Their o-line and secondary has been hit particularly hard.  It's gotten so bad on that o-line that none of the lineman currently starting are starting at the same position as the beginning of the year.  Both starting tackles are out (and may be for a few more weeks).  One of the backup tackles broke his leg in 2 places in his first start.

This commenter is actually more interesting than the article in regards to summing up their injuries.

This football season is a direct similarity of MSU's 2013-14 basketball season where it seemed like every game there was a new injury. In that basketball season, Dawson, Appling, Payne all missed a good chunk of the final half of the season when it mattered the most.

This team may not be playing well but it is kind of hard when entering your 6th game of the year you finished your last game with 7 out of your 22 starters from mid August are in street clothes or in a hospital: Ed Davis from August, Copeland, Williamson, Conlin, Kieler, Josiah Price, Kings Jr. and then add in the backup LT is now out for the season. I want to see how many teams would be able to play the final 9 games of a season where 3 out of your 4 backup DBs are true freshman who were 3* recruits. The last few weeks the issue with MSU is similar to their issues early in last season where they start off hot and then finish like they stopped giving a crap 21 points ago.

A Sparty loss at the hands of ttun is looking more and more likely.  When that happens     scum fans will proclaim themselves king of the world, especially if they shut them down (god forbid, out).  Get ready for a month of especially insufferable scum fans.
