East Lansing — Michigan State’s defense was struggling in practice, giving up yardage, uncharacteristically retreating. And Joe Bachie, the star senior linebacker, was loving it.
“The offense was scoring on us, driving the ball on us, which is a great thing to see,” Bachie said. “Not for us, obviously, but for them, to get their confidence back up. (Brian Lewerke) is healthy, you can see the ball comes out of his hand differently, he’s got that zip on it, good spin.”
Hopefully for the Spartans, that’s more than just spin.
