EAST LANSING – An introspective Mark Dantonio talked to some of his veterans one-on-one Monday and harbored no reservations about where Michigan State’s football team is right now at the season’s midpoint.
“You're checking the pulse of our football team,” Dantonio said Tuesday. “Thus far, I would say, hey, we’re hanging. … I think you got to be a rock. You have to be. Bad things are going to happen. That's going to be a part of your life. Everybody goes through struggles.”
Dantonio, unlike a number of predecessors, has not had to deal with anything like this before.
