Team-First Culture Permeates Through Spartan Program

EAST LANSING, Mich. – As Michigan State embarks on its 10th football season under head coach Mark Dantonio, the time seemed right to reflect on the Spartans’ progress and accomplishments since 2007.

Except, with the season-opener just 26 days away, Dantonio was hardly of the mind to reminisce about his three Big Ten Championships, the 2014 Rose Bowl crown, five 11-or-more-win seasons out of the last six, MSU’s historic appearance in only the second College Football Playoff on New Year’s Eve, or three straight top-six finishes.

Sentimentality was not part Michigan State Football Media Day’s agenda Monday at Spartan Stadium.
