Henning: Dantonio, Spartans happily take 5-0 record

East Lansing — Pleasure can be fragile, even fleeting. Thresholds rise. Romance, jobs, automobiles — even college football teams — are subject to the human urge for a bit more bliss.

Michigan State and Mark Dantonio can relate.

Michigan State is 5-0, and should be 6-0 after it plays Saturday night at Rutgers, which is not the weekend's best place to look for an upset. The Spartans are a stunning 30-3 in their last 33 games during Dantonio's reign.

Rather than behaving like giddy civilians storming Times Square on V-E Day, there is instead, in so many voices, anxiety in Michigan State's world.
