MSU leans on Donnie Corley's defensive versatility

East Lansing — It’s never bad to be compared to the Big Ten Receiver of the Year, especially when that player is now starting in the NFL.

And while Michigan State freshman Donnie Corley might one day earn that same honor, the reason coach Mark Dantonio was likening him to former Spartan Tony Lippett this week was only partially because of his ability catching passes.

The rest, of course, had to do with the fact both know a little something about intercepting passes after Corley saw his first action of the season on defense in last week’s loss to Michigan.
