Mark Dantonio's dose of 'brutal reality' helps spark Michigan State offense

East Lansing — A week ago, Mark Dantonio was in a foul mood.

His Michigan State team had just beaten Tulsa to open the 2019 season, but after watching the game film from the 28-7 victory, the Spartans coach was hardly feeling good about the performance and challenged his team heading into its Week 2 matchup with Western Michigan.

The Spartans responded, rolling over the Broncos, 51-17, as the offense finally came to life.
