• MSU finished No. 3 in the final 2013 Associated Press and USA TODAY Polls, marking its highest placing in the national polls since 1966 when the Spartans ranked No. 2 in the AP and United Press International Polls with a 9-0-1 record. In addition, Michigan State (13-1) became just the third team in Big Ten history to win at least 13 games in a season (Minnesota, 1904; and Ohio State, 2002). The Spartans secured their first Rose Bowl berth in 26 years by winning their eighth Big Ten title in program history with a 34-24 victory over second-ranked Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship Game. • The Spartans finished their Big Ten regular-season schedule with a perfect 8-0 record for the first time in school history and claimed their second Legends Division title in three seasons. Michigan State became the 14th Big Ten team to post an 8-0 mark in league play. The Spartans were the first Big Ten team to win all eight of its conference games by double-digit points since the league went to an eight-game schedule in 1971. In addition, MSU became the first undefeated Big Ten team to win all of its league games by doublefigure points since Michigan in 1943 (6-0 record). • Michigan State returns 20 letterwinners and five starters from the Big Ten’s top-ranked defense in 2013. The Spartans led the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision in total defense for 13 straight weeks and finished the season ranked No. 2 in the FBS, allowing just 252.2 yards per game. MSU was the only school to rank in the top three in the four major defensive stat categories: No. 2 in total defense, No. 2 in rushing defense (86.6 ypg.), No. 3 in scoring defense (13.2 ppg.) and No. 3 in pass defense (165.6 ypg.). In addition, the Spartans led the FBS in pass efficiency defense (92.3 rating) and ranked No. 2 in opponent third-down conversions (.279) and No. 5 in first-downs defense (14.3 pg). MSU’s defense allowed just 4.04 yards per play, which also ranked No. 1 in the FBS. • The Spartans return seven starters and 16 players with starting experience on offense, including starting junior quarterback Connor Cook, who went 12-1 in his first season as the starter in 2013. MSU also welcomes back its top rusher in senior Jeremy Langford (292 carries for 1,422 yards and 18 TDs) and four of its top five receivers. Overall, the Spartans are returning 97 percent of their total offense from a year ago, 99 percent of their rushing yards and 79 percent of their receiving yards. • The Spartans have won 42 of their last 54 games (.778), dating back to the beginning of the 2010 season. The 42 wins are most in the Big Ten and tied for ninth most in the FBS during that same time period. In addition, MSU has recorded 35 Big Ten victories since 2008, the most of any team in the conference (Note: Ohio State has won 40 games, but had to vacate seven victories following the 2010 season.). Since 2010, the Spartans have won two Big Ten Championships (2010, 2013), two Big Ten Legends Division titles (2011, 2013), and a school-record three-straight bowl games (2012 Outback Bowl, 2012 Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl, 2014 Rose Bowl Game). MSU has produced double-digit win totals three of the past four seasons (11 wins in 2010 and 2011; 13 in 2013). • The Spartans are ranked in the Top 10 in “way-too-early” preseason polls by Dennis Dodd of CBSSports. com (No. 3), Mark Schlabach of ESPN.com (No. 4) and Martin Rickman of SI.com (No. 8).

MSU is 4-0 all-time against FCS schools. • In a marquee non-conference matchup, the Spartans will travel to Eugene, Ore., to face Oregon on Sept. 6 in Autzen Stadium. MSU is 2-2 against Oregon, with the last matchup coming in 1999, a 27-20 win for the Spartans in East Lansing. In the “way-too-early” preseason polls that have released, the Ducks are ranked No. 3 by CBSSports.com’s Dennis Dodd, No. 5 by ESPN.com’s Mark Schlabach of ESPN.com, and No. 5 by SI.com’s Martin Rickman. • The Spartans will also face Eastern Michigan (Sept. 20) and Wyoming (Sept. 27) in non-conference action at Spartan Stadium.

Simon. • During his tenure, Dantonio has led Michigan State to four Top 25 finishes (2008: No. 24 in both polls; 2010: No. 14 in both polls; 2011: No. 10 USA TODAY/No. 11 AP; and 2013: No. 3 in both polls). • From his first day on the job, Dantonio has pledged to support student-athletes as they pursue excellence, both in the classroom and on the playing field.

Week in and week out, Coach Dantonio empowers our players to meet and exceed their goals.

The amended contract and enhanced compensation reflect his and his coaching staff’s value in the current marketplace. These updated figures position Mark and his staff in the upper tier of the Big Ten. We believe that we have not only one of the finest head coaches in the conference but in all of college football, and we feel the same about his assistant coaches. “Continuity has been and will continue to be an important ingredient for the sustained success of our football program. The increased compensation isn’t simply a reward for past performance but signifies our expectation for continued excellence. “Mark has demonstrated his outstanding leadership abilities in building the program for the long haul. He and his coaching staff have created a winning culture, based upon communication, leadership and counsel. Mark and his assistants have created a positive environment for current and future student-athletes to grow and develop as both students and athletes. “They’re committed to preparing our student-athletes for their professional careers, whether in professional football or other walks of life. It’s obvious that Mark and his staff strive to build relationships that will last well beyond the four- or five-year experience on our campus.” MSU head coach Mark Dantonio: “The University continues to make a commitment to provide all of the necessary tools to build and sustain a championship-caliber football program. I want to thank President Simon, Mark Hollis and the entire administration for their trust and loyalty. “Coaching staff stability is extremely important for the long-term success of a program. We have outstanding coaches and support personnel. We’re very excited about what our program has accomplished over the last seven years, and we believe the best is yet to come. “Our focus will be to continue winning championships. We have proven that we can consistently compete with the top teams in the country. As we move forward, we will continue to dream big.”

MSU became the 14th Big Ten team to post an 8-0 mark in league play (Ohio State 2013, Ohio State 2006, Ohio State 2002, Iowa 2002, Michigan 1997, Northwestern 1995, Penn State 1994, Michigan 1989, Illinois 1983 [9 games], Michigan 1980, Ohio State 1979, Ohio State 1975, Michigan 1971). • Dantonio has always stressed the importance of a balanced offense, and the 2013 Spartans couldn’t have been more balanced statistically. MSU had 23 rushing touchdowns and 23 passing touchdowns, and averaged 173.8 yards per game rushing and 211.7 yards per game passing. Thirteen different offensive players scored TDs for MSU in 2013. • Michigan State outscored its opponents, 212-72 (+140), in the second half in 2013, including 112-30 (+82 points) in the fourth quarter. • Under Mark Dantonio, Michigan State has compiled a 49-8 record (.860) when leading after three quarters, including a perfect 11-0 in 2013. • Michigan State is 19-9 (.679) in Big Ten road games under Dantonio, including a six-game winning streak and a 13-3 record (.813) since 2010. MSU went a perfect 4-0 in conference road games in 2013 (wins at Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska and Northwestern). Dantonio has won at least one road game at every Big Ten stadium. • A trademark of Mark Dantonio’s Michigan State teams has been their ability to produce wins late in the regular season. Under Dantonio, Michigan State has compiled an 18-5 record (.783) in November. His teams have won 12 of the last 14 games in November (3-0 in 2010; 4-0 in 2011; 1-2 in 2012, 4-0 in 2013). In 2012, MSU lost back-to-back games (Nebraska and Northwestern) in November for the first time since 2006 when the Spartans dropped three in a row. In the four seasons (2003-06) prior to Dantonio’s arrival, MSU went just 2-11 (.154) in November. • Michigan State’s offensive line allowed 17 sacks (1.21 per game), which ranked second fewest in the Big Ten and 15th in the NCAA FBS. The offensive line featured seven players with starting experience (152 combined starts). • The Spartans produced 50 plays of 20 yards or more on offense (15 rushing, 35 passing) in their last 10 games (5.6 per game), compared to just 11 (five rushing, six passing) during their four non-conference games (2.3 pg.). • Under Mark Dantonio, Michigan State is 47-8 (.855) when leading in time of possession, including a 34-5 record (.872) since 2010.

ANALYSTS SPEAK HIGHLY OF SPARTAN FOOTBALL PROGRAM – While the focus of the NFL Scouting Combine is on the rookie class for the upcoming NFL Draft in May, msuspartans.com also had a chance to visit with several media members from around the country in Indianapolis about the state of the Spartan football program Bill Polian, ESPN analyst and former Indianapolis Colts president/general manager On the staff at Michigan State... “When you talk about the top coaches in America, Mark Dantonio is in that group. From the NFL standpoint, Michigan State is a place that you like to get kids from because: A) they’re disciplined; B) they’ve been in a program that is as demanding as the NFL; and C) their training is so good, particularly on the defensive side of the ball, that they’re ready to play when they come right in because they’re used to NFL techniques. They play press coverage; they play multiple coverages; they pattern match; and their techniques and fundamentals are so sound. There’s a reason why they’ve won as many games as they have, and there’s a reason why they turn out as many NFL players as they do because Mark and his staff do such a great job of running a program that’s about as close to the NFL as you can find at the college level.” On Michigan State’s ability to develop NFL talent... “It says two things. First, they’re tracking the right kids. They have good personnel judgment. It doesn’t matter what we say in the media. It’s what you see in the player, so they’re getting players who have the ability to play in the NFL. It’s just that they’re not recognized by the recruiting services. So good for them, that’s to their benefit. “And secondly, they get them ready to play in the NFL. They take the raw talent that they get - perhaps, not highly visible when they first come to Michigan State - and then they develop them into guys who are ready to play the minute they step into the National Football League. But the most important part is that they’re recognizing that talent. If you translated that to the NFL, they’ve got one of the best personnel departments in all of college football because that’s what causes you to win all of these games. Getting those collegiate free agents, getting those low draft choices that’s the equivalent of what they’re recruiting at the college level, and they’re hitting on virtually every one of them.” Mike Mayock, NFL Network On the Spartan football program... “(Michigan State is) a top-level team. They’re a top-level program, and the facilities are fantastic. Coach (Mark Dantonio) has done a great job. “One of my favorite games of the year was Michigan State-Stanford. That was two well-coached, tough teams that got after each other. It was a testament to Coach Dantonio and his staff how well they played and how tough they were. I always know when I put a Michigan State tape in I’m going to see a well-coached, disciplined group of kids. I like putting Michigan State tapes on to compare other Big Ten players when I’m getting ready for the draft. I purposely put Michigan State film in there because I want to see how they hang in there for 60 minutes after being grinded on by Michigan State.” Bruce Feldman, senior college football columnist for CBSSports.com On winning the last two games of the season against No. 2 Ohio State and No. 5 Stanford... “That was a big statement for (Michigan State). Everybody was watching Ohio State to see what they did and there was the Auburn dynamic playing into it. The way Michigan State closed out that (Big Ten Championship Game) was really impressive. Being at the Rose Bowl and the way they finished out (the Stanford game), I think it elevated the brand a lot. Michigan State was a very well respected Big Ten program, but after last year, I feel like it pushed the brand national to a large degree because of Ohio State game and the performance in the Rose Bowl.” On Michigan State’s defense... “People know the names change on defense, but they play great football. They shut people down; they shut the run down; and they’ve got a unique scheme. What’s a little different here now is the quarterback situation and I know Kirk Cousins was a terrific quarterback, but I felt like after Kirk it was like `hey, what’s going on here.’ Once Connor (Cook) got settled, the team took off. It’s going to be interesting to see what he’s going to do moving forward.” On if Michigan State become a regular contender for a Big Ten East Division title? “I think so. You know they’re going to be really good on defense, and they’re going to be really physical. You lose some starters on the offensive line, but there’s so much experience and depth back across the board. That’s a big key. Getting more of an identity at quarterback on offense helps. And if you play great defense, you’re going to be in a lot of games.”

2014 MICHIGAN STATE SPRING FOOTBALL • MSUSPARTANS.COM • @MSU_FOOTBALL

2014 SPARTAN SPRING FOOTBALL On the player development at Michigan State... “What is helping now is kids are seeing that they can go to Michigan State and know they’re going to be developed. We’re here (at the NFL Scouting Combine) and Darqueze Dennard is a great story, not only for Michigan State fans, but he’s a great story for under-the-radar recruits. He was the 2-star guy and that 2-star guy was the best defensive back in college football (last season). There are other guys like that. “A few years ago, you lose a great middle linebacker and four or five of your top tacklers and somehow the defense gets better. The Shilique Calhoun story is another example kids see. It helps when people know your head coach is just a really good football guy. He’s not flashy. He’s not a slick-salesman type; he’s just a real football guy. That seems like the brand of Michigan State. We’ve seen it in other programs, like Stanford. Physical football is in their DNA physical football and kids eventually buy into. That’s now what’s going on with Michigan State.” Charles Davis, NFL Network and FOX Sports On Michigan State’s 2013 season... “It’s hard to believe anyone was (playing better football than Michigan State at the end of last season). You’d have to say Florida State because they won the National Championship and the way Auburn finished the year, but Michigan State would not have backed down from anyone. Michigan State would have gleefully accepted any challenge and it would have been fun. A Michigan State-Florida State match-up would have been a blast because the teams play similar styles in a lot of ways. You know both want to be physical and both run. “Michigan State runs better than what people give them credit for. Getting into that type of a game when you get into the fourth quarter and make the other team sweat, that would have been a fun one because Michigan State is very comfortable in that type of a situation.” On the state of the MSU program... “What Mark Dantonio and his staff have done with that program, they’re at the level now that it’s a surprise if they’re not contending (for a championship), as witnessed two seasons ago when the team finished 7-6. You’re like what happened to Michigan State? And then they came back this season and all of a sudden, it was pound Green pound again and off they went.

“The beauty of it is Mark Dantonio had a vision. He has a formula for what he wants done. He believes in it and doesn’t deviate from it. A lot of guys after a 7-6 year go `oh, we’ve got to change everything. This has to go and this didn’t work.’ No, they took a step back and took a deep breath. Okay, this didn’t happen here, and this didn’t happen here. And by the way, out of our losses, most of them were pretty close. So we’re just missing a little bit of a piece. “Then the way he managed the quarterback situation last year where kids still felt valuable even though they weren’t getting the job. That was masterful because you know as well as I know when a quarterback doesn’t get a job now what does he do? I’m outta here. I’m going to transfer. I’m gone because I can’t play here. They’re all hanging around, trying to do their best. He’s built the program for the long haul by building it on his principles, on his character, and on his integrity. Phenomenal job.” Jim Miller, Sirius/XM NFL analyst On the Michigan State program... “No. 1, (I’m impressed with) how they go to work every week. Every week is a big challenge and Mark Dantonio and his staff do a great job getting the team focused. Early in the season, it looked like there was a lot of uncertainty. The team could have fractured and gone in a different direction, but they got close-knit, tightened it up. They focused on the task at hand, and they got it done. So I was extremely proud of the Michigan State Spartans last year.” On the end of the 2013 season... “Obviously when you knock off a team that’s undefeated (Ohio State), Michigan State showed a lot of backbone; a lot of grit. I think they were a tougher team, but the bottom line is they earned it. They knew what they were working for and it was something bigger. Ohio State was in the way, and they got it done. That was a big challenge but even after taking care of Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship Game, there was no let down. The team stayed focused; they stayed on a high and got their energies focused toward Stanford in the Rose Bowl. It was a goal that was accomplished, but make no mistake about it, Michigan State earned it every bit of the way.”

On MSU’s defense... “It says a lot about their coaching style. No. 1, they run a great scheme. Pat Narduzzi is one of the better defensive coordinators in all of college football and that’s why he’s been getting a lot interest whether it’s through pro teams or other college programs. It’s about being able to communicate to the players each week the game plan - what needs to be executed to win a game. And for 14 weeks of the season, Michigan State’s defense was ranked No. 1. That says it all about the job the coaches have done at Michigan State and for the players for going out and getting it done.” On MSU’s recruiting... “The coaches do a great job of recruiting players around the country. No. 1, they don’t look for stars. You always hear about these five-star and four-star recruits, but you recruit the individual. You recruit the kid that’s going to fit your program the best and represent Michigan State football the best. It’s hard to identify heart. It’s hard to identify toughness. Those are intangibles that are sometimes unscoutable. Michigan State does a great job identifying the type of player that they want to represent its program.” On MSU’s player development... “It says a lot about the coaching staff because they maximize the talent since Mark Dantonio has been there. I go back to Kellen Davis when he played both defensive end and tight end. Here’s Jeremy Langford: they’re trying to find him a position. Is he a receiver? Is he a cornerback? They have some depth issues at running back, and what does Jeremy Langford do, he takes off and has a great season. He had a couple of great 100-yard rushing games. He ran tough; he ran with grit and again he earned it. You have to give the kid a lot of credit because he’s a great athlete and he finally found a home as the starting running back. So again, you credit the coaches for identifying talent and you credit Jeremy Langford for not giving up, not quitting when he really didn’t have a position to settle in at.” WINNINGEST SENIOR CLASS IN MSU HISTORY – • The 2013 senior class helped Michigan State to a record of 42-12 (.778) since 2010, including four consecutive winning seasons. The 42 wins are the most by any senior class in the 117-year history of Michigan State football (previous record: 37 wins by 2011 class).

2014 SPARTAN SPRING FOOTBALL DANTONIO SWEEPS BIG TEN COACH OF THE YEAR HONORS – • Seventh-year Michigan State head coach Mark Dantonio swept Big Ten Coach of the Year honors by winning both the Dave McClain Coach of the Year (media) and Hayes-Schembechler Coach of the Year (coaches). Since the award’s inception in 1972, Dantonio is the first Spartan coach to earn Dave McClain Coach of the Year honors twice. He also won the award in 2010 after leading MSU to an 11-1 regular-season record and a share of the Big Ten Championship. • Dantonio also was named a finalist for the Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year, Paul “Bear” Bryant Coach of the Year, Bobby Bowden Coach of the Year and Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year. In addition, he was named one of 16 semifinalists for the Maxwell Football Club Coach of the Year and was tabbed Big Ten Coach of the Year by Sporting News and CollegeFootballNews.com. • Dantonio owns a 64-29 (.688) record at Michigan State. He already ranks among MSU’s all-time leaders in career wins (fourth) and winning percentage (fifth). • Among Spartan coaches who have coached at least 10 Big Ten games, Dantonio owns the best winning percentage (.679, 38-18 record). “Biggie” Munn went 5-1 in his only Big Ten season in 1953. • Dantonio has three double-digit win seasons (2010, 2011, 2013), which is the most in school history. He also has four nine-win seasons at MSU, the most by any coach in school history (9 in 2008, 11 in 2010, 11 in 2011, 11 in 2013); “Biggie” Munn (1951, 1952, 1953) and Duffy Daugherty (1955, 1965, 1966) each had three nine-win seasons at MSU. • Since 2007, Dantonio has helped produce 26 first-team All-Big Ten selections, five consensus First-Team All-Americans (2008: RB Javon Ringer; 2009-10: LB Greg Jones; 2011: DT Jerel Worthy; and 2013: CB Darqueze Dennard) and 16 NFL Draft picks, including six in 2012. It marked the most NFL Draft selections for the Spartans since seven players were taken in 2000. • From his first day on the job, Dantonio has pledged to support student-athletes as they pursue excellence, both in the classroom and on the playing field. In his first six seasons, more than 80 percent (98 of 123) of his Michigan State players who have completed their eligibility have earned their undergraduate degrees. In addition, 87 Spartans have earned Academic All-Big Ten honors, including six Academic All-Americans (Blair White, 2009 second team; Mike Sadler, 2013 first team, 2012 second team, 2011 second team; Max Bullough, 2013 first team, 2012 second team). • Under Mark Dantonio, Michigan State has produced a 38-11 record (.776) in home games, including a 15-game winning streak (7-0 in 2010, 7-0 in 2011, won first game in 2012). The Spartans have won 23 of their last 28 home games. • Dantonio has led Michigan State to Top 25 finishes in four of the last six seasons (2008: No. 24 in both polls; 2010: No. 14 in both polls; 2011: No. 10 USA TODAY/No. 11 AP; and 2013: No. 3 in both polls). • Dantonio was named the Big Ten Coach of the Year in 2010 after leading the Spartans to a share of the Big Ten Championship and a school-record 11 wins.

2014 SPARTAN SPRING FOOTBALL SPARTAN STADIUM NORTH END ZONE PROJECT INFORMATION – • The past two years, $34.5 million has been committed to upgrading Spartan Stadium to continually enhance the gameday atmosphere. • In June 2013, the Michigan State Board of Trustees approved a $24.5 million project to the north end of Spartan Stadium that will feature a two-story, 50,000-square-foot addition as well as an entrance plaza, renovated gates, and additional restrooms and concessions. • The building will include new locker rooms for teams, coaches and officials, including a 4,500-square-foot home locker room and a 700-square-foot home training room, in addition to a 3,600-square-foot media center and a 4,000-square-foot recruiting lounge for all varsity sports. The project is scheduled to be completed in July 2014. • Prior to the 2012 season, new high-def Panasonic video screens and scoreboards as well as a new sound system were installed in Spartan Stadium. The new scoreboard/video screen in the south end zone is 5,300-square feet, compared to its predecessor that measured just 567-square feet (installed in 1998). The top of the new south end zone structure reaches 130 feet. In addition, two new video boards as well as an LED ribbon board were added to the north end zone. The LED ribbon board covers 4,500 square feet (450feet long and 10-feet high). Combined, the south and north video screens/scoreboards total 13,300-square feet. The $10 million project replaced a 14-year-old scoreboard, message board and audio system.

SCORE BY QUARTERS Western Michigan (0-1) Michigan State (1-0)

WHAT HAPPENED

SCORING SUMMARY

• Michigan State’s defense held Western Michigan to 193 yards of total offense and forced four turnovers, including two defensive touchdowns, in the 26-13 season-opening win.

KEY STAT • Michigan State limited Western Michigan to 11 yards rushing on 27 attempts.

KEY PLAY • On third-and-11 from the WMU 20-yard line midway through the first quarter, Jairus Jones recorded his first career interception and lateraled the ball to Kurtis Drummond, who ran it in 21 yards for a touchdown.

QUOTABLE “The thing to talk about here is the defense - I thought they played extremely well. We need to dwell on those positives and build on them. We need to always play to our strengths, period. I’ll go back to what I said, the name of the game is to win. We’ve got to do this collectively, together. Am I totally happy, no, but I’ll go home with a win.” - MSU head coach Mark Dantonio

KEY NOTE • Michigan State extended its winning streak in home openers to 15.

RECAP EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Jeremy Langford’s 2-yard touchdown run late in the first half broke a tie and he finished with 94 yards rushing, helping Michigan State beat Western Michigan 26-13. The Spartans scored two touchdowns on defense. Jairus Jones had two interceptions, the first of which turned into a score with his lateral to Kurtis Drummond, whose 21-yard return was the game’s first score midway through the first quarter. The Broncos tied the game with 6:14 left in the second quarter, but couldn’t do enough on offense to keep the game close in coach P.J. Fleck’s debut with the Mid-American Conference team. Langford’s go-ahead TD was followed up by two field goals in the third quarter and Shilique Calhoun’s fumble return with 9:02 left to play that made it 26-7.

WHAT HAPPENED

SCORING SUMMARY

• For the second consecutive game, Michigan State’s defense dominated its opponent, scoring two touchdowns and limiting South Florida to just 155 yards of total offense, including only 66 passing yards.

KEY STAT • Michigan State forced USF to eight three-and-out possessions and limited the Bulls to just 2.5 yards per offensive play.

KEY PLAY • With MSU leading 7-6 midway through the third quarter and South Florida driving in Spartan territory on second-and-15 from the MSU 39, Denicos Allen hit USF quarterback Bobby Eveld as he was throwing, forcing the ball up in the air; Shilique Calhoun picked off the pass for his first career interception, and ran it back 56 yards for the touchdown, giving MSU a 14-6 advantage.

QUOTABLE “Through camp we discussed being able to score on defense. Even if our offense is good, even if they are doing great, we just wanted to make that another aspect of our game to be able to score on defense. Being able to create touchdowns, we were very excited for the challenge and we were looking forward to it. To see it all play out after all that practice is mind blowing; it is a great feeling definitely.” - MSU defensive end Shilique Calhoun, after scoring two TDs vs. USF

KEY NOTE • Shilique Calhoun became the first Spartan defensive player to score three touchdowns in one season since linebacker T.J. Turner in 1999.

RECAP EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Shilique Calhoun scored on a fumble return and an interception return, enabling Michigan State to a 21-6 victory over South Florida. The Spartans rotated Connor Cook, Tyler O’Connor and Andrew Maxwell at quarterback, but their offense contributed only one touchdown. USF quarterback Bobby Eveld was 6 of 25 for 66 yards with a fumble and an interception. Michigan State’s offense finally scored in the fourth quarter when Jeremy Langford ran 2 yards for a touchdown. That drive was only 33 yards after a short South Florida punt.

SCORE BY QUARTERS Michigan State (3-1) Notre Dame (3-1)

WHAT HAPPENED

SCORING SUMMARY

• Although being outgained and outrushed, Notre Dame held off Michigan State, 17-13, to record its third consecutive win in the series.

KEY STAT • Michigan State, which entered the game No. 1 in the NCAA FBS in total defense, allowed just 224 total yards of offense to the Irish, the fewest in the Brian Kelly era at Notre Dame; it was the fewest total yards by Notre Dame since it had just 91 in a loss to USC on Nov. 29, 2008.

KEY PLAY • With the score tied at 10, Notre Dame faced a third-and-10 from the MSU 22 yardline on the first play of the fourth quarter. The Spartans were flagged for their fourth pass interference of the game on the play, setting up first-and-goal for the Irish. Two plays later, Cam McDaniel scored on a 7-yard TD run to put Notre Dame up for good, 17-10.

QUOTABLE “Great football game, first of all. I thought very well played football game in terms of intensity and enthusiasm. As far as Michigan State is concerned, get down in the red zone, you’ve got to score touchdowns. Fact of the matter is they did not turn the ball over and we had to come up with turnovers. We ran the ball effectively. Had our opportunities in the red zone. Kicked a couple field goals, missed one. You’ve got to score touchdowns in those situations.” - MSU head coach Mark Dantonio

KEY NOTE • Ten of the last 10 meetings between Michigan State and Notre Dame have been decided by seven points or less.

RECAP NOTRE DAME, Ind. (AP) - Notre Dame took advantage of a trick play that backfired, as well as four pass interference calls and a holding penalty that kept drives alive, to defeat Michigan State for the third straight time. The mistakes led to all of Notre Dame’s points in the 17-13 victory, including two on the game-winning drive after a pass by Michigan State receiver R.J. Shelton led to an interception by safety Matthias Farley, setting up the go-ahead touchdown.

WHAT HAPPENED

SCORING SUMMARY

• Down 14-10 at halftime, Michigan State rallied in the second half, outscoring Iowa 16-0 in the final two quarters to win its Big Ten opener, 26-14.

KEY STAT • On 14 Iowa possessions, MSU’s defense forced 10 three-and-outs (three-and-out: either holding an opponent without a first down within three plays on a new series or forcing a turnover in the first three plays). The Hawkeyes were held to just 23 yards rushing.

KEY PLAY • On Michigan State’s first drive of the third quarter, trailing 14-10, Connor Cook threw a 37-yard touchdown pass to Bennie Fowler that put the Spartans ahead for good.

QUOTABLE “We’ve been thinking about our last game, how to strengthen ourselves, re-evaluating ourselves as a football team and we came out and played. We kept talking about how you’re going to have adversity here and basically have to just flood the gates. We were tough to run the ball against, maybe that was an understatement, and we came up with two big turnovers at the right times. Just a solid team win.” - MSU head coach Mark Dantonio

KEY NOTE • Michigan State’s 26-14 win over Iowa gave the Spartans back-to-back victories in Iowa City for the first time since 1987 and 1989. MSU snapped a seven-game losing streak in Iowa City with a 37-21 victory in 2011.

RECAP IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - Connor Cook threw for 277 yards and two touchdowns and Michigan State opened Big Ten play with a 26-14 win over Iowa. Darqueze Dennard had a pair of interceptions for the Spartans, who held the Hawkeyes scoreless in the second half. Freshman Michael Geiger added three field goals in the second half for the Spartans. Mark Weisman ran for just 9 yards on seven carries for the Hawkeyes, who lost for the first time since its season opener. Michigan State was again led by its standout defense. But the Spartans also came up huge on special teams. Up 6 early in the fourth quarter, Michigan State pulled off a crucial fake punt. Mike Sadler ran for 25 yards, setting up a 49-yard field goal by Geiger that put the Spartans up 23-14 with 13:28 left. Jake Rudock threw for 241 yards and two touchdowns for the Hawkeyes. But Dennard picked him off twice, including an interception with 5:09 left that largely ended the suspense.

WHAT HAPPENED

SCORING SUMMARY

• Junior running back Jeremy Langford recorded his first career 100-yard rushing game with 23 carries for 109 yards in MSU’s 42-28 win over Indiana on Homecoming at Spartan Stadium. Langford accounted for a career-best four touchdowns, including three scoring runs against the Hoosiers.

QUOTABLE “We sort of characterized this game as an iron man lift. If you know anything about Spartan football, we have iron man lifts for our younger players at 5:30 a.m. Everybody in our football program has to go through that. We felt like that’s what it was going to be - you are going to be challenged (playing against Indiana’s up-tempo offense), you were going to have adversity, you’re going to be pushed to the brink. I think overall it’s a good team win for us. We’re 5-1 and we can set the tone for the next phase. We’re halfway through the season. Now we start playing for things.” - MSU head coach Mark Dantonio

KEY NOTE • Spartan Stadium played host to its 500th game, as Michigan State improved its all-time home record to 340-147-13 (.693) in 90 seasons. The Spartans also retained the Old Brass Spittoon, as MSU defeated Indiana for the fifth-straight time.

RECAP EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Jeremy Langford scored four touchdowns, and Michigan State recovered from an early defensive breakdown to beat Indiana 42-28. The Spartans prevailed in a matchup between their top-ranked defense and Indiana’s fast-paced offense. Tevin Coleman scored on a 64-yard run for the Hoosiers just 61 seconds into the game, but Michigan State took control shortly after halftime. Langford tied it early in the second quarter, catching an 11-yard touchdown pass from Connor Cook on third down. He later added three more TDs on the ground, becoming the first Michigan State player to score four in a game since Edwin Baker in 2010 against Minnesota.

QUOTABLE “We knew it was on us. We told each other it was on us. If they don’t score, we win. It was as simple as that. We had no choice but to step it up. Last year in the close games, we would sometimes give up touchdowns at the end of the game. We didn’t want to do that this year. It’s a new year. It’s a new team and we needed to make changes. That was the main change we wanted to make this year.” - MSU fifth-year senior linebacker Denicos Allen

KEY NOTE • Michigan State shut out Purdue for just the fourth time in series history and for the first time since 1963.

RECAP EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Denicos Allen returned a fumble 45 yards for a touchdown, and Michigan State’s offense finally added an insurance score in the fourth quarter of a 14-0 win over Purdue. The Spartans didn’t make it past the Purdue 32-yard line until the fourth quarter, when receiver Tony Lippett threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Andrew Gleichert on a trick play. Purdue kept it close after being routed by Wisconsin and Nebraska in its first two conference games, but Paul Griggs missed two field goals. The Spartans entered with the nation’s top-ranked defense, and Allen opened the scoring in the second quarter with Michigan State’s fifth defensive touchdown of the season. Max Bullough hit quarterback Danny Etling, the ball popped free, and Allen was able to scoop it up and score easily. Jeremy Langford rushed for 131 yards on 24 carries for Michigan State. While the Spartans were sputtering offensively, punter Mike Sadler gave them a lift, landing three punts inside the 10-yard line.

RECAP EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Mark Dantonio has always embraced Michigan State’s rivalry with Michigan, but this week the confident coach took a fairly calm approach. Dantonio’s Spartans battered their biggest rivals for the full 60 minutes Saturday, and 24th-ranked Michigan State remained unbeaten in the Big Ten with a 29-6 victory over the 23rd-ranked Wolverines. Michigan was sacked seven times and finished with minus-48 yards rushing, the worst output in the Ann Arbor program’s lengthy history. Connor Cook threw for a touchdown and ran for one, but this game belonged to Michigan State’s defense, which solidified its spot among the nation’s best with an overwhelming performance on a rainy afternoon at Spartan Stadium. Shilique Calhoun and Ed Davis had 2 1/2 sacks each, and Denicos Allen added two more.

SCORING SUMMARY

WHAT HAPPENED • For the first time in eight meetings, Michigan State defeated Nebraska, 41-28. The win clinched a share of the Big Ten Legends Division title for the Spartans.

KEY STAT • Michigan State forced five Nebraska turnovers, the most caused by the Spartans in the Coach Mark Dantonio era (fumble recovery by Shilique Calhoun in first quarter; interception by Kurtis Drummond in first quarter; fumble recovery by Taybor Pepper in first quarter; fumble recovery by Isaiah Lewis in second quarter; fumble recovery by Trae Waynes in third quarter). MSU converted those five turnovers into 24 points.

KEY PLAY • With MSU leading 27-21 midway through the fourth quarter, Spartan placekicker Michael Geiger lined up for a 45-yard field goal to put MSU up two scores; however, holder Mike Sadler pulled off the fake field goal by gaining 3 yards on the ground up the middle for a first down. Later on the drive, Connor Cook found Keith Mumphery for a 27-yard touchdown pass to give MSU a 35-21 advantage.

QUOTABLE “We have played for a championship in 2008 at the end of the season, 2010, 2011 and now 2013, we will have a chance to play for a championship. On the last game of the season, any way you cut it, it is a Legends Championship, any way you cut it. Those are positives, those are big positive steps for a program from when we came here. It shows we have a solid foundation but we need to continue to coach, and play and play up and continue to climb the latter. You want to be where we are at, at the end of the season. I think it was a statement for a lot of people, for recruits and for everybody else.” - MSU head coach Mark Dantonio

RECAP LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Michigan State all but locked up a spot in the Big Ten Championship Game, and the Spartans didn’t even need their nation-leading defense at its best to do it. With Nebraska turning over the ball five times and Connor Cook directing a gamebreaking drive in the fourth quarter, the Spartans won 41-28 to take a two-game lead in the Legends Division with two games to play. Jeremy Langford ran 32 times for 151 yards and scored two touchdowns, and Keith Mumphery caught a 27-yard touchdown from Cook after the Cornhuskers pulled within six points.

It tied for the fourth-longest reception in school history.

QUOTABLE “I want to congratulate our football team. Ten wins. Legends [Division] champions and as we go forward it’s exciting times. We’ve talked about there being moments that we’d remember for the rest of our lives and I think that’s what is happening for us, so we just need to continue and press on...Very happy for our program and everybody associated with it. Like I said, we got a hat on. Hopefully we want to wear this hat for a couple of weeks and we’ll trade it in, but we will see. That’s what makes things so special.” - MSU head coach Mark Dantonio

KEY NOTE • Jeremy Langford recorded his sixth-straight 100-yard rushing game, a first for a Spartan since Lorenzo White accomplished the feat in seven-straight games in 1985. Langford accounted for 150 rushing yards, a career-high 185 all-purpose yards, and two TDs against the Wildcats.

RECAP EVANSTON, Ill. (AP) - Mark Dantonio and his players wore hats commemorating their division championship. They hope bigger prizes are coming. Connor Cook threw for 293 yards, Jeremy Langford ran for 150, and No. 13 Michigan State clinched a spot in the Big Ten title game with a 30-6 victory over Northwestern. Langford ran 20 yards untouched for the game’s first touchdown in the second quarter. He sealed it with a 37-yard scoring run in the fourth after Kurtis Drummond picked off a short pass by Trevor Siemian, sending Michigan State to its seventh straight win and Northwestern to its seventh loss in a row. Drummond had two interceptions, and the Spartans closed in on 11 wins for the third time in four seasons.

WHAT HAPPENED

SCORING SUMMARY

• Michigan State completed its third perfect Big Ten regular season in program history and the first since the conference expanded to eight games with a 14-3 victory over Minnesota on Senior Day. The 18-member senior class, the winningest in school history, closed their careers with a 23-5 (.821) mark at Spartan Stadium.

KEY STAT • With an 11-point victory, Michigan State became the first Big Ten team to win all eight of its conference games by double-digit points since the league went to an eight-game schedule in 1971.

KEY PLAY • With Michigan State leading 14-3 in the fourth quarter, Minnesota drove the ball 77 yards on 17 plays in 9:21 to the Spartan 11-yard line; on third-and-10, Gopher quarterback Mitch Leidner was sacked by Shilique Calhoun and Tyler Hoover popped the ball loose, and Denzel Drone recovered the fumble for MSU at the 14-yard line, ending Minnesota’s scoring threat.

QUOTABLE “We’ve been here before, we’ve won 11 games before. It feels good. I don’t think there’s any question it feels very good. You feel like you’ve attained a goal. But at the same time, you’re right, nobody’s giving anyone Gatorade showers. We’ve got one more to go. That’s what we want to do. Those are our goals.” - MSU head coach Mark Dantonio

KEY NOTE • Jeremy Langford rattled off a career-long 44-yard rush late in the fourth quarter to push him past the 100-yard mark for the seventh game in a row, which tied a school record along with Lorenzo White, who accomplished the feat in 1985.

RECAP EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Jeremy Langford ran for 134 yards and a touchdown, and No. 11 Michigan State wrapped up an unbeaten regular season in Big Ten play with a 14-3 victory over Minnesota. The Spartans’ top-ranked defense forced three turnovers and kept the Golden Gophers out of the end zone, repeating a formula that has brought Michigan State within a win of the Rose Bowl. The Spartans went undefeated at home for the third time in four years. They took the lead right away Saturday on Langford’s 15-yard touchdown run in the first quarter, which capped a seven-play, 80-yard drive. Minnesota’s Philip Nelson attempted only seven passes in the first half, and two of them were picked off by Michigan State’s Trae Waynes.

WHAT HAPPENED

SCORING SUMMARY

• Michigan State snapped Ohio State’s school-record 24-game winning streak and defeated the Buckeyes, 34-24, to win the program’s eighth Big Ten Championship and seal its first trip to the Rose Bowl since 1988.

KEY STAT • Ohio State entered the game ranked in the FBS Top 10 in scoring offense and total offense, but the Spartans held the Buckeyes to season lows in points (24) and total yards (374). The Buckeyes were 1-of-10 on third-down conversions and 0-of-2 on fourth down.

KEY PLAY • With Michigan State leading 27-24 midway through the fourth quarter, Ohio State deflected a punt, and took over at the MSU 47-yard line. After three rushes for 8 yards, the Buckeyes faced a fourth-and-2 at the MSU 39-yard line and called timeout. On the fourth-down play, Denicos Allen stopped OSU quarterback Braxton Miller 1-yard short of the first down, and MSU took over on downs. The Spartans iced the game with a 6-play, 61-yard drive in three minutes and 33 seconds, capped off by Jeremy Langford’s 26-yard TD run up the middle.

QUOTABLE “We’re going to live this one for a while, live it for a month. But it’s important that we finish what we started and that will end with a bowl game.” - MSU head coach Mark Dantonio

KEY NOTE • Michigan State won its school-record 12th game of the season (11 wins in 2010 and 2011).

RECAP INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Connor Cook was determined to shake things up in the Big Ten title game. By the end of the night, the sophomore quarterback’s teammates were bouncing up and down right along with him. No. 10 Michigan State rallied from a seven-point third-quarter deficit by scoring the final 17 points to upset No. 2 Ohio State 34-24 and deny the Buckeyes a chance to play for the BCS National Championship. It was a game that almost defied logic. Ohio State came into the game with the nation’s longest winning streak (24), had not lost under Meyer in two seasons and had one of the nation’s most productive offenses and underrated defenses. Michigan State turned the conventional wisdom upside down by scoring the first 17 points. Then the nation’s stingiest defense gave up the next 24 points as Braxton Miller, Carlos Hyde & Co. took command. Cook responded to the challenge by driving the Spartans for a field goal, hooking up with the wide open Josiah Price in the flat of the end zone and then burned 3 1/2 critical minutes on the clinching drive, capped by Jeremy Langford’s sealing 26-yard TD run.

WHAT HAPPENED

SCORING SUMMARY

• Michigan State won its first Rose Bowl since 1988 and its fourth in program history with a 24-20 comeback victory over fifth-ranked and defending Rose Bowl Champion Stanford.

KEY STAT • Michigan State’s defense held Stanford to just one offensive touchdown and 11 first downs (season lows), 162 rushing yards (second-lowest total of the season) and 304 yards of total offense (third-lowest total of the season).

KEY PLAY • With Michigan State leading 24-20 and 1:46 remaining in the game, Stanford faced a fourth-and-1 from its own 34-yard line. All 22 players on the field lined up in the box as the Cardinal attempted to hand the ball off to fullback Ryan Hewitt for the first down, but he was stopped in midair by a leaping Kyler Elsworth, who made the initial hit and kept Hewitt shy of the first-down marker. Shilique Calhoun and Darien Harris also assisted on the play, which cliniched MSU’s first Rose Bowl victory in 26 years.

QUOTABLE “The Rose Bowl to me is the pinnacle of what we do in the Big Ten Conference...I think the Rose Bowl, I can just tell you the experiences that we had this week are really unparalleled, and I’ve been to a lot of bowls over the course of my time. But it’s unparalleled. They have the resources and they have the interest, and they put those resources to work and make it an unbelievable experience for you...I’m so impressed and proud of our football team and happy for all those involved.” - MSU head coach Mark Dantonio

KEY NOTE • Offensive MVP Connor Cook threw for a career-high 332 yards and completed 22-of-36 passes, including two touchdowns.

RECAP PASADENA, Calif. (AP) - Connor Cook passed for a career-high 332 yards and hit Tony Lippett with a tiebreaking 25-yard touchdown pass early in the fourth quarter, and No. 4 Michigan State held off the fifth-ranked Cardinal in the 100th Rose Bowl Game, 24-20. Cook also threw a TD pass to Trevon Pendleton, and Jeremy Langford rushed for 84 yards and a score as the Spartans overcame their first double-digit deficit of the entire season before surging ahead late and preserving the lead with stalwart defense. Michigan State’s FBS-best defense capped its dominant season with one more old-school performance befitting the centennial celebration of the Granddaddy of Them All. The Spartans (13-1) yielded just 159 yards in the final three quarters, and they closed it out by stopping Stanford fullback Ryan Hewitt on fourth-and-1 on the Cardinal 34-yard line with 1:46 to play.

2014 ROSE BOWL CHAMPIONS • 2013 BIG TEN CHAMPIONS

COACHING STAFF MARK DANTONIO HEAD COACH EIGHTH SEASON @DANTONIOMARK

Mark Dantonio, who is in his eighth season as head coach at Michigan State, has restored the pride and tradition of Spartan football while transforming the program into an annual Big Ten Championship contender. A Zanesville, Ohio, native with Midwest ties, Dantonio led Michigan State to a record-setting season in 2013. MSU won a school-record 13 games, defeated No. 5 Stanford in the 100th Rose Bowl Game, beat No. 2 Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship Game for the school’s eighth Big Ten title, and finished No. 3 in both national polls, the highest ranking for the Spartans since 1966. Michigan State (13-1) became just the third team in Big Ten history to win at least 13 games in a season (Minnesota, 1904; and Ohio State, 2002). In its first-ever Bowl Championship Series appearance, Michigan State rallied from its largest deficit of the season - twice trailing Stanford by 10 points - for a 24-20 victory over the Cardinal in the 100th Rose Bowl Game. The Spartans closed out the 2013 season with a 10game winning streak. After leading the Spartans to their second Big Ten Legends Division title in three years, Dantonio guided MSU past previously undefeated and second-ranked Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship Game, 34-24, to win the school’s eighth Big Ten Championship and earn a berth in the Rose Bowl Game for the first time since 1988. Bowl eligible for a school-record seventh consecutive season, the Spartans finished fourth in the final Bowl Championship Series standings, marking the highest BCS ranking in school history. In addition, Michigan State became the first school in Big Ten history to win all eight of its conference games by double digits. Dantonio, who has 34 years of collegiate coaching experience, has coached in 18 bowl games. He has led Michigan State to a school-record three consecutive bowl wins (2012 Outback Bowl against No. 18 Georgia; 2012 Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl against TCU; 2014 Rose Bowl Game against No. 5 Stanford). Dantonio has participated in four New Year’s Day games as a head coach (2009 Capital One Bowl, 2011 Capital One Bowl, 2012 Outback Bowl, 2014 Rose Bowl), and has led Michigan State to Top 25 finishes in four of the last six seasons (2008: No. 24 both polls; 2010: No. 14 both polls; 2011: No. 10 USA TODAY/No. 11 AP; 2013: No. 3 both polls). Dantonio owns a 64-29 record (.688) at Michigan State since his arrival in 2007. He already ranks among MSU’s all-time leaders in career wins (fourth) and winning percentage (fifth), and is the only coach in MSU history to lead multiple teams to double-digit win seasons (11 in 2010 and 2011; 13 in 2013). Among Spartan coaches who have coached at least 10 Big Ten games, Dantonio owns the best conference winning percentage (.679, 38-18 record). MSU’s 42 wins over the last four seasons are most in the Big Ten and tied for ninth most in the NCAA Football

Bowl Subdivision during that period; it’s also the winningest four-year stretch in school history. The Spartans have posted four consecutive winning seasons, a first for the program since recording six in a row from 1985-90. MSU produced back-to-back 11-win seasons in 2010-11 for the first time in program history, claimed a share of the Big Ten Championship in 2010, and won the Big Ten Legends title in 2011. In addition, Michigan State has recorded 35 Big Ten victories since 2008, the most of any team in the conference. Since 2011, Michigan State’s defense has been one of the most consistent in the FBS. The Spartans are one of just four schools, along with Alabama, Florida and Florida State, to rank among the FBS Top 10 in total defense the past three seasons. In addition, Michigan State and Alabama are the only teams to rank in the FBS Top 11 the past three years in total defense, scoring defense, rushing defense and passing defense. Dantonio earned 2013 Big Ten Coach of the Year honors from both the media and coaches, as the Spartans finished their conference schedule with a perfect 8-0 record for the first time in school history. Michigan State became the 14th Big Ten team to post an 8-0 mark in league play. The Spartans were the first Big Ten team to win all eight of their conference games by double-digit points since the league went to an eight-game schedule in 1971, and also defeated the Buckeyes by double figures in the championship game. In addition, MSU became the first undefeated Big Ten team to win all of its league games by double-figure points since Michigan in 1943 (6-0 record). Dantonio also was named a finalist for the Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year, Paul “Bear” Bryant Coach of the Year, Bobby Bowden Coach of the Year and Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year Awards. In addition, he was named one of 16 semifinalists for the Maxwell Football Club Coach of the Year and was tabbed Big Ten Coach of the Year by Sporting News and CollegeFootballNews.

com. Known as one of the top defensive minds in the country, Dantonio and his staff assembled the No. 1 defense in the Big Ten for the third-straight season in 2013. The Spartans led the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision in total defense for 13 straight weeks and finished the season ranked No. 2 in the FBS, allowing just 252.2 yards per game. MSU was the only school to rank in the top three in the four major defensive stat categories: No. 2 in total defense, No. 2 in rushing defense (86.6 ypg.), No. 3 in scoring defense (13.2 ppg.) and No. 3 in pass defense (165.6 ypg.). In addition, the Spartans led the FBS in pass efficiency defense (92.3 rating) and ranked No. 2 in opponent third-down conversions (.279) and No. 5 in first-downs defense (14.3 pg). MSU’s defense allowed just 4.04 yards per play, which also ranked No. 1 in the FBS. The Spartans also led the Big Ten in nine defensive categories (total defense, scoring defense, rushing defense, pass defense, pass efficiency defense, turnover margin, opponent third-down conversions, opponent fourth-down conversions, first downs defense). MSU is the first team to rank first in total defense and rushing defense three years in a row since the Big Ten awarded conference stat champions in 1985 for overall games. Offensively, the Spartans evolved into championship form as the season progressed, culminating with strong performances against Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship Game and Stanford in the Rose Bowl Game. The Spartans produced 438 yards of total offense against the Buckeyes and nearly 400 yards (397) against Stanford, which entered the game No. 14 in the FBS in total defense. Sophomore quarterback Connor Cook was named the Most Outstanding Player in the Big Ten Championship Game after throwing for 304 yards and three touchdowns, and he topped that performance by racking up a career-high 332 passing yards and two touchdowns against the Cardinal while being named the Rose Bowl Game’s Offensive MVP. In his

MSU ranked among the Big Ten leaders in conference games in passing efficiency (third with 139.5 rating), scoring offense (fifth with 29.8 ppg.) and rushing offense (fifth with 185.8 ypg.). The offensive line allowed just 17 sacks - second fewest in the Big Ten and tied for 15th fewest in the FBS. In addition, Michigan State ranked seventh in the FBS in time of possession (33:19 per game). Another key reason for MSU’s success was creating turnovers on defense and limiting mistakes on offense, as Michigan State ranked first in the Big Ten and tied for 10th in the FBS in turnover margin (+13, 0.9 per game). The Spartans forced a total of 28 turnovers (11 fumbles, 17 interceptions), including five for touchdowns (three fumble recoveries, two interception returns). MSU forced the most turnovers in the Big Ten (28) and also turned the ball over the least amount of times (15) in the conference. MSU’s seven interceptions were also tied for fewest in the Big Ten and tied for 11th fewest in the FBS. Michigan State was rewarded for winning the Legends Division by three games, as six Spartans were named to the All-Big Ten First Team and a total of 16 players received all-conference recognition. The six first-team selections were the most for Michigan State since 1990, and the 16 honorees overall equaled the second most under Dantonio (19 in 2011, 16 in 2010). Two Spartans took home individual awards, as senior Darqueze Dennard was named the Tatum-Woodson Big Ten Defensive Back of the Year, while sophomore Shilique Calhoun was named the Smith-Brown Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the Year. Dennard, Calhoun and senior linebacker Max Bullough were first-team selections by both the coaches and media. Junior safety Kurtis Drummond, senior safety Isaiah Lewis and junior punter Mike Sadler were named first-team All-Big Ten by the coaches. The five first-team selections on defense tied for the most in school history (1966). Since 2007, Dantonio has helped produce 26 first-team All-Big Ten selections. Michigan State defeated five bowl-bound teams in 2013, including victories over Iowa, Michigan, Nebraska, Minnesota and Ohio State. The Spartans snapped Ohio State’s school-record 24-game winning streak in the Big Ten Championship. Since 2007, Dantonio has helped produce five consensus first-team All-Americans (2008: RB Javon Ringer; 2009-10: LB Greg Jones; 2011: DT Jerel Worthy; and 2013: CB Darqueze Dennard) and 16 NFL Draft picks, including six in 2012. Dennard was a unanimous AllAmerica selection and also won the Jim Thorpe Award, which is given annually to the nation’s best defensive back. From his first day on the job, Dantonio has pledged to support student-athletes as they pursue excellence, both in the classroom and on the playing field. In his first seven seasons, more than 80 percent (98 of 123) of his Michigan State players who have completed their eligibility have earned their undergraduate degrees. In addition, 87 Spartans have earned Academic All-Big Ten honors, including six Academic All-Americans (Blair White, 2009 second team; Mike Sadler, 2013 first team, 2012 second team, 2011 second team; Max Bullough, 2013 first team, 2012 second team).

Under Dantonio, Michigan State has produced a 38-11 record (.776) in home games, including a 15-game winning streak (7-0 in 2010, 7-0 in 2011, won first game in 2012). The Spartans have won 23 of their last 28 home games. Michigan State secured its third-straight winning campaign (7-6) in 2012 with a thrilling 13-point second-half comeback victory over TCU in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl, defeating the Horned Frogs, 17-16. A total of 11 Spartans received All-Big Ten recognition last in 2012, including junior running back Le’Veon Bell, who garnered consensus first-team honors after leading the Big Ten and ranking No. 3 in the NCAA FBS in rushing with 137.9 yards per game. The Spartan defense ranked among the NCAA FBS Top 10 in eight categories: touchdowns allowed (second with 16), pass efficiency defense (third at 98.8), total defense (fourth at 274.4 ypg.), pass break-ups (tied for eighth at 4.8 pg.), rushing defense (eighth at 98.6 ypg.), third-down defense (eighth at .305), pass defense (ninth at 175.8 ypg.) and scoring defense (ninth at 16.3 ppg.). In 2011, thanks to its 33-30 triple-overtime victory over Georgia in the 2012 Outback Bowl, Michigan State (113) finished No. 10 in the final USA TODAY Coaches Poll and No. 11 in the final Associated Press Poll. Michigan State’s 11 wins in 2011 tied a then-school singleseason record, as the Spartans became bowl eligible for a school-record fifth consecutive year. MSU won the Big Ten Legends Division title outright with a 7-1 conference record. The Spartans came up just short of their first Rose Bowl appearance since 1988, falling to Wisconsin, 42-39, in the inaugural Big Ten Championship Game. Michigan State defeated five bowl-bound teams, including a victory over the Badgers earlier in the season on Oct. 22 in Spartan Stadium, 37-31, on a last-second, 44-yard touchdown pass from Kirk Cousins to Keith Nichol. MSU also beat No. 11 Michigan for the fourthstraight year on Oct. 15 in Spartan Stadium, 28-14, a first for the program since 1959-62. Other landmark victories included a 10-7 win at Ohio State on Oct. 1, MSU’s first win in Ohio Stadium since 1998, and a 3721 victory at Iowa on Nov. 12, the Spartans’ first triumph in Kinnick Stadium since 1989. Following the successful 2011 campaign, six Spartans were selected in the 2012 NFL Draft, the most since 2000: Worthy (Green Bay Packers, second round), Cousins (Washington Redskins, fourth round), Keshawn Martin (Houston Texans, fourth round), Trenton Robinson (San Francisco 49ers, sixth round), Cunningham (Miami Dolphins, sixth round) and Edwin Baker (San Diego, seventh round). Dantonio, who led Michigan State to a then schoolrecord 11 wins in 2010 and a share of its first Big Ten Championship since 1990, was named the Dave McClain Big Ten Coach of the Year, as selected by the conference’s media panel. A finalist for the Paul “Bear” Bryant, Eddie Robinson and Liberty Mutual National Coach of the Year Awards, Dantonio helped manage the thirdbiggest turnaround among NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision teams during the regular season, as the Spartans improved from 6-7 in 2009 to 11-1 in 2010. He was also named the AFCA (American Football Coaches Association) Region 3 Coach of the Year, and earned National

Coach of the Year honors from CBSSports.com, Scout. com and Rivals.com. Thanks to its 28-22 victory at Penn State in the regularseason finale, Michigan State recorded its first win in State College since 1965 and finished in a tie with Wisconsin for the 2010 Big Ten Championship. MSU also dealt Wisconsin its only loss of the 2010 regular season, 34-24, in the Big Ten opener. The Spartans finished the season ranked No. 14 in both The Associated Press and USA TODAY/ Coaches’ Polls. One of 15 semifinalists for the George Munger Coach of the Year Award, Dantonio had a breakthrough season as a head coach in 2008. Under his leadership, the Spartans went 9-3 in the regular season and compiled a 6-2 record in the Big Ten, the best league mark for the program since 1999. In his first season as head coach at Michigan State, Dantonio sparked a three-game turnaround as the Spartans finished the 2007 regular season with a 7-5 record, securing the program’s first bowl bid in four years with a berth against Boston College in the Champs Sports Bowl in Orlando, Fla. The 58-year old Dantonio established himself as one of the nation’s up-and-coming coaches during his threeyear tenure at Cincinnati, where he compiled an 18-17 overall record and led the program in its transition from Conference USA to the BIG EAST Conference. Prior to his appointment at Cincinnati, Dantonio served as the defensive coordinator under Jim Tressel at Ohio State for three seasons, where his defensive unit helped the Buckeyes to a combined record of 32-6. Dantonio assembled the defense which led Ohio State to the 2002 National Championship. Dantonio spent six years (1995-2000) as Michigan State’s secondary coach, including five seasons under Saban and one under Bobby Williams. For Dantonio’s complete bio, please visit msuspartans. com.

COACHING STAFF Now in his eighth season as Michigan State’s defensive coordinator, Pat Narduzzi has developed the Spartans into one of the top defensive teams in the nation. Narduzzi was promoted to assistant head coach on March 4, 2013. Narduzzi helped construct the No. 1 defense in the Big Ten for the third consecutive year in 2013. The Spartans led the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision in total defense for 13 straight weeks and finished the season ranked No. 2 in the FBS, allowing just 252.2 yards per game. MSU was the only school to rank in the top three in the four major defensive stat categories: No. 2 in total defense, No. 2 in rushing defense (86.6 ypg.), No. 3 in scoring defense (13.2 ppg.) and No. 3 in pass defense (165.6 ypg.). In addition, the Spartans led the FBS in pass efficiency defense (92.3 rating) and ranked No. 2 PAT NARDUZZI in opponent third-down conversions (.279) and No. 5 in first-downs defense (14.3 pg). MSU’s defense allowed ASSISTANT HEAD COACH/ just 4.04 yards per play, which also ranked No. 1 in DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR the FBS. EIGHTH SEASON Michigan State led the Big Ten in nine defensive stat categories, including total defense and rushing defense for the third year in a row. Since the Big Ten awarded conference stat champions in 1985 for overall games, MSU is the first team to win three straight titles in total defense and rushing defense. Narduzzi was named the winner of the 2013 Frank Broyles Award, which is awarded annually to the nation’s top assistant coach. He is the first MSU coach to win the award, which started in 1996. Narduzzi also was named the National Defensive Coordinator of the Year by FootballScoop. Since 2011, Michigan State’s defense has been one of the most consistent in the FBS. The Spartans are one of just four schools, along with Alabama, Florida and Florida State, to rank among the FBS Top 10 in total defense the past three seasons. In addition, Michigan State and Alabama are the only teams to rank in the FBS Top 11 the past three years in total defense, scoring defense, rushing defense and passing defense. Michigan State held all 14 of its opponents in 2013 under their season average in points and total offense. MSU prevented six opponents from scoring a touchdown (South Florida, Purdue, Illinois, Michigan, Northwestern, Minnesota), and the Spartans shut out six of their eight Big Ten opponents in the second half. The Spartans allowed just 20 touchdowns on defense (eight rushing, 12 passing), which ranked second fewest in the FBS for the second year in a row. In the 2014 Rose Bowl Game victory over No. 5 Stanford, the Cardinal were held to just one offensive touchdown and 11 first downs (season lows), 162 rushing yards (second-lowest total of the season) and 304 yards of total offense (third-lowest total of the season). The foundation of Michigan State’s defense is stopping the run, and Narduzzi’s unit once again proved it could stop the rush in 2013. The Spartans led the Big Ten and ranked second in the NCAA FBS in rushing defense, allowing just 86.6 yards per game, which also marked the seventh-best effort in school history. MSU has finished in the Top 25 nationally in rushing defense four of the past five seasons (24th in 2009; ninth in 2011; eighth in 2012; second in 2013). Since the beginning of 2011, Michigan State has held 25 opponents under 100 rushing yards (seven in 2011; eight in 2012; 10 in 2013), which ranks tied for third most in the NCAA FBS (Alabama: 29; Stanford: 27; MSU/Florida State: 25). The Spartans featured five first-team All-Big Ten selections on defense, which tied for the most in school history (1966). Senior linebacker Max Bullough, sophomore defensive end Shilique Calhoun, senior cornerback Darqueze Dennard, junior safety Kurtis Drummond and senior safety Isaiah Lewis all garnered first-team accolades from the league’s coaches, while Bullough, Calhoun and Dennard were also on the media’s first team. Eight of MSU’s starters received All-Big Ten recognition (second team: senior linebacker Denicos Allen; honorable mention: junior defensive end Marcus Rush, sophomore cornerback Trae Waynes). Calhoun was named the Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the Year, while Dennard was named the Big Ten Defensive Back of the Year. Dennard also won the Jim Thorpe Award (nation’s best defensive back) and Jack Tatum Award (nation’s top defensive back by The Touchdown Club of Columbus), and was one of five finalists for the Bronko Nagurski Trophy (nation’s best defensive player). Narduzzi has been named the National Coordinator of the Week four times in his career three for his game plans in wins over Michigan (2010, 2011, 2013), including last season, when the Wolverines were sacked seven times and were held to a school-record low minus-48 yards rushing, and also for his role in helping MSU defeat Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship Game. The Spartans held the previously undefeated and second-ranked Buckeyes to a season-low 374 yards of total offense and 24 points. During Narduzzi’s tenure at MSU, his players have earned All-Big Ten honors 56 times, including 11 different first-team selections, and first-team All-America accolades on four occasions.

THE NARDUZZI FILE

Dave Warner enters his second season as the co-offensive coordinator and his eighth overall at Michigan State. Warner, who also coaches the running backs, was promoted to co-offensive coordinator on March 4, 2013. He previously coached the quarterbacks for six seasons. The Spartan offense steadily improved all season long during MSU’s record-setting campaign in 2013, culminating with strong performances against Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship Game and Stanford in the Rose Bowl Game. The Spartans produced 438 yards of total offense against the Buckeyes and nearly 400 yards (397) against Stanford, which entered the game No. 14 in the FBS in total defense. DAVE WARNER Sophomore quarterback Connor Cook was named the CO-OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR/ Most Outstanding Player in the Big Ten Championship Game after throwing for 304 yards and three touchdowns, RUNNING BACKS and he topped that performance by racking up a careerEIGHTH SEASON high 332 passing yards and two touchdowns against the Cardinal while being named the Rose Bowl Game’s Offensive MVP. Cook finished his first year as the starter with one of the best statistical seasons in school history, ranking second in the MSU single-season record book in touchdown passes (22), fourth in total offense (2,831 yards) and pass attempts (380), fifth in passing yards (2,755), and sixth in pass completions (223). In his first year working with Jeremy Langford, Warner helped developed the junior into one of the top running backs in the Big Ten. Langford, who hadn’t started a game entering the season, emerged as a dynamic scoring threat, as he led the Big Ten with 18 rushing touchdowns. The Wayne, Mich., native also ranked among the Big Ten leaders in total touchdowns (first with 19), scoring (third with 8.1 ppg.) and rushing (sixth with 101.6 ypg.). In addition, Langford ranked among MSU’s single-season leaders in touchdowns (third), rushing touchdowns (fourth), rushing attempts (sixth with 292) and rushing yards (eighth with 1,422). He established a school record by rushing for more than 100 yards in eight consecutive games. MSU’s offense also featured a balanced passing attack. The Spartans were one of only two teams in the Big Ten to have seven players with at least 17 receptions, and nine different players caught touchdown passes. The offensive line, which rotated in eight different players, was one of the top units in the country and a key reason why MSU ranked seventh in the FBS in time of possession (33:19). In addition to a strong running game, the Spartans only allowed 17 sacks, second fewest in the Big Ten and 15th fewest in the FBS. Six starters earned All-Big Ten recognition on the offense, including Cook (second team, coaches), senior offensive guard Blake Treadwell (second team, coaches and media), sophomore center Jack Allen (second team, media), senior offensive tackle Fou Fonoti (honorable mention), senior offensive guard Dan France (honorable mention) and Langford (honorable mention). Warner has been a quarterbacks coach and/or offensive coordinator or passing game coordinator for 25 of his 30 seasons as a college assistant. Warner served as the offensive coordinator for two seasons (1999-2000) at Connecticut, and was the passing game coordinator at Wyoming (1998) and Houston (2001-02). Under the direction of Warner, Spartan quarterbacks posted record numbers. Kirk Cousins, the winningest quarterback in school history with 27 victories as a starter, became MSU’s career record holder in 2011 for passing touchdowns (66), passing yards (9,131), completions (723), passing efficiency (146.1 rating), total offense (9,004 yards) and 200-yard passing games (26). Cousins’ numbers were some of the best in Big Ten history, as finished his career ranked among the conference’s all-time Top 10 in completion percentage (tied for sixth at .641), passing efficiency rating (sixth), passing yards (10th) and TD passes (tied for 10th). Warner also tutored Brian Hoyer at Michigan State from 2007-08; Hoyer recently completed his fifth season in the NFL with the Cleveland Browns.

COACHING STAFF

JIM BOLLMAN CO-OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR/TIGHT ENDS SECOND SEASON

Jim Bollman, who has 37 years of coaching experience, both at the collegiate and professional levels, enters his second year as the co-offensive coordinator and tight ends coach. Bollman, who spent 11 years as the offensive coordinator/offensive line coach at Ohio State (2001-11), was named co-offensive coordinator on March 4, 2013.

Harlon Barnett, a four-year letterwinner at Michigan State (1986-89) as a defensive back who was named a captain and All-American as a senior, is in his eighth season as the Spartans’ secondary coach. Barnett returned to East Lansing with seven years of professional playing experience and nine seasons of coaching experience under his belt.

Bollman coached in his ninth BCS Bowl and 18th postseason game overall as the Spartans defeated No. 5 Stanford in the 2014 Rose Bowl Game. He was the offensive coordinator for the Buckeyes during their 2002 National Championship season and has coached in three BCS National Championship Games.

Barnett mentors one of the top secondaries in the nation, as the Spartans are the only school in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision to rank among the nation’s Top 20 in pass defense and pass efficiency defense the past three seasons. In addition, the Spartans are one of just two FBS schools, along with Alabama, to rank among the HARLON BARNETT nation’s top 11 in pass defense in 2011 (11th at 175.8 SECONDARY ypg.), 2012 (ninth at 176.9 ypg.) and 2013 (third at 165.6 ypg.). After ranking third in pass efficiency defense in EIGHTH SEASON 2012 with a 98.8 rating, the Spartans were No. 1 in the FBS in 2013 with a 92.3 rating. MSU also ranked tied for second in the Big Ten with 17 interceptions last season.

Under the tutelage of Bollman, the Spartan tight ends showed tremendous growth during the 2013 season. The entire group had a combined five starts entering the season, but the trio of red-shirt freshman Josiah Price and juniors Michael Dennis and Andrew Gleichert all contributed with multiple starts in helping create the position into a strength for the offense. Price caught 17 passes for 210 yards and ranked second on the team with four touchdown receptions. A former offensive line coach at Michigan State in the mid-1990s, Bollman also was instrumental in developing one of the top offensive lines in the country. All five starters received postseason recognition and the group gave up just 17 sacks in 2013, which was second fewest in the Big Ten. Bollman and Dantonio have coached together before on three previous occasions: Youngstown State (1986-90), Michigan State (1995-97) and Ohio State (2001-03). Bollman was the offensive line coach for three seasons (1995-97) at MSU under Nick Saban while Dantonio was the secondary coach. Dantonio and Bollman both arrived at Ohio State for the 2001 season. Dantonio spent three years (2001-03) as the defensive coordinator under Jim Tressel, while Bollman went on to coach 11 years (2001-11) for the Buckeyes, both as an offensive line coach and offensive coordinator. Dantonio and Bollman first coached together at Youngstown State for four seasons (1986-90). The Buckeyes compiled a 100-28 overall record (.781) during Bollman’s tenure as offensive coordinator from 2001-11 (Ohio State had to vacate 12 wins from the 2010 season). The Buckeyes achieved seven 10-win (or more) seasons during that stretch, and he coached in 11 bowl games, including eight BCS games (2003 BCS National Championship, 2004 Fiesta, 2006 Fiesta, 2007 BCS National Championship, 2008 BCS National Championship, 2009 Fiesta, 2010 Rose, 2011 Sugar). Under Bollman’s offensive direction at Ohio State, his players earned first-team All-Big Ten honors 23 times, including quarterback Troy Smith, who captured the 2006 Heisman Trophy and also earned the Walter Camp Award, Davey O’Brien Award, AP Player of the Year, Sporting News Player of the Year and Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year his senior season. While at OSU, Bollman also mentored 15 linemen that went on to make NFL rosters, and he has worked with 29 players overall that have played professionally during his coaching career.

THE BOLLMAN FILE FAMILY: Wife Terri and two daughters: Courtney and Stephanie. YEARS AT MICHIGAN STATE: Fifth overall. Rejoined staff on March 4, 2013, from Purdue.

All four of MSU’s starting defensive backs received All-Big Ten recognition in 2013, including three first-team All-Big Ten selections. The group was led by senior captain Darqueze Dennard, the first-ever cornerback at Michigan State to earn unanimous first-team AllAmerica honors. Dennard was also the first Spartan to win the Jim Thorpe Award, which is given annually to the nation’s best defensive back. In addition, Dennard was named the winner of the Jack Tatum Award, which is presented to college football’s top defensive back by The Touchdown Club of Columbus. The lock-down corner, who was a finalist for the Bronko Nagurski Trophy and named the Big Ten Defensive Back of the Year, ranked among the Big Ten leaders in interceptions (4), pass break-ups (10) and passes defended (14). Senior strong safety Isaiah Lewis and junior free safety Kurtis Drummond were also selected All-Big Ten First Team by the coaches, while sophomore cornerback Trae Waynes garnered honorable mention. Lewis was invited to participate in the 2014 Senior Bowl.

2014 MICHIGAN STATE SPRING FOOTBALL • MSUSPARTANS.COM • @MSU_FOOTBALL

COACHING STAFF Ron Burton, a 22-year coaching veteran who also played four seasons in the NFL, enters his second season as defensive line coach at Michigan State. Burton previously spent 10 seasons (2003-12) as the defensive line coach at Air Force.

Brad Salem, a former head coach at NCAA Division II Augustana College in Sioux Falls, S.D., is in his fifth year on the coaching staff at Michigan State and his second as quarterbacks coach. He is also in his fourth year as the program’s recruiting coordinator.

Burton made an immediate impact in his first year on the Spartan staff in 2013. Michigan State’s defensive line showed significant improvement in its productivity under Burton, increasing its totals in sacks (+12) and tackles for loss (+10) from 2012.

Salem was instrumental in helping the development of Connor Cook in his first season as the starting quarterback in 2013. Cook, who took over the starting role in Week 2 against South Florida, went 12-1 as the starter and finished his sophomore year ranked among MSU’s single-season leaders in passing touchdowns (second with 22), total offense (fourth with 2,831 yards), pass attempts (fourth with 380), passing yards (fifth BRAD SALEM with 2,755) and pass completions (sixth with 223). His QUARTERBACKS/ progress was on full display in the final two games RECRUITING COORDINATOR of the season. Cook took home Most Outstanding FIFTH SEASON Player honors at the Big Ten Championship Game after completing 24-of-40 passes for 304 yards and three touchdowns against No. 2 Ohio State, and followed that effort by being named the Rose Bowl Offensive MVP, as he threw for a career-high 332 yards and two touchdowns in the win over No. 5 Stanford. Cook was a second-team All-Big Ten selection by the coaches.

In his first year as a starter, sophomore Shilique Calhoun garnered second-team All-America honors from RON BURTON numerous organizations and was named the Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the Year as well as the National DEFENSIVE LINE Defensive Performer of the Year by the College Football SECOND SEASON Performance Awards. Calhoun led the team in sacks (7.5) and ranked second in tackles for loss (14), ranked first in the Big Ten with four fumble recoveries, and was one of only two players in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision to score three defensive touchdowns. Junior Marcus Rush garnered honorable mention All-Big Ten accolades for the third year in a row, while senior defensive tackles Micajah Reynolds and Tyler Hoover both delivered their most productive seasons wearing the Green and White. In addition, Burton helped develop sophomores Damon Knox and Mark Scarpinato, who each filled in as starters and added quality depth to the defensive front. For his efforts in 2013, Burton was named the National Defensive Line Coach of the Year by FootballScoop. During his 10 seasons at Air Force, Burton helped the Falcons to a combined record of 67-57 (.540), including a school-record six consecutive postseason bowl appearances (2007-12), while developing some of the top defensive linemen in school history. Burton also served as the program’s NFL liaison. In 2008, Jake Paulson became the first-ever defensive lineman at Air Force to earn first-team All-Mountain West honors after recording 14.5 tackles for loss and nine sacks. One year later, nose guard Ben Garland was a second-team All-MWC selection and signed a free agent contract with the Denver Broncos. In the Falcons’ 2010 Independence Bowl victory over Georgia Tech, defensive lineman Rick Ricketts, a second-team All-MWC choice, was named the defensive most valuable player of the game. Burton also coached two-time Academic All-American (defensive end) Ryan Carter. Before arriving at Air Force, Burton spent one season (2002) at Grand Valley State and helped lead the Lakers to a perfect 14-0 record and the 2002 NCAA Division II National Championship, the first in school history. Burton has Big Ten coaching experience, as he spent five seasons as the linebackers coach at Indiana from 1997-2001. A four-year letterman (1982-86) at North Carolina, Burton helped the Tar Heels to three bowl appearances during his career and was named team captain and best defensive lineman as a senior. He graduated from UNC with a bachelor’s degree in industrial relations in 1987. Following graduation, Burton spent four seasons playing linebacker in the NFL for the Dallas Cowboys (1987-89), Phoenix Cardinals (1989) and Los Angeles Raiders (1990). Burton started 15 games for the Cowboys in 1988 and recorded two sacks, and played on the 1990 Raiders team that advanced to the 1990 AFC Championship Game. After his NFL career, Burton returned to North Carolina and spent two years as a graduate assistant (1992-93) for the Tar Heels.

Salem has been either an offensive coordinator or quarterbacks coach for eight seasons as a college assistant. He spent his first three seasons at Michigan State (2010-12) coaching the running backs. Salem mentored one of the most productive running backs in Spartan history, Le’Veon Bell, from 2010-12. Bell had a career year in 2012, winning the Big Ten rushing title and ranking third in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision, averaging 137.9 yards per game. Named a first-team All-American by CollegeFootballNews.com, Bell compiled 1,793 rushing yards, the second-highest single-season total in MSU history. The first-team All-Big Ten selection finished his career ranked among MSU’s all-time leaders in rushing TDs (sixth with 33), rushing attempts (sixth with 671), rushing yards (seventh with 3,346), 100-yard rushing games (eighth with 12) and all-purpose yards (ninth with 4,114). Bell was selected in the second round of the 2013 National Football League Draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers and was named the Steelers Rookie of the Year last season. Salem coached one of the most talented backfields in the Big Ten in 2011, as junior Edwin Baker and Bell combined for 1,613 rushing yards (115.2 yards per game) – the second most of any running back duo in the conference – to go along with 18 rushing touchdowns. Baker was selected in the seventh round of the 2012 National Football League Draft by the San Diego Chargers and recently finished his second season in the NFL with the Cleveland Browns. Under Salem’s direction in 2010, Michigan State’s running backs improved their totals from 2009. The resurgent running game was led by Baker, who became just the sixth sophomore in MSU history to reach the 1,000-yard milestone as he compiled 1,201 rushing yards. A first-team All-Big Ten honoree by the media, Baker ranked fourth in the Big Ten and 30th nationally in rushing, averaging 92.4 ypg. In five seasons (2005-09) as head coach at Augustana College, Salem compiled a 31-26 record. Salem led Augustana College to back-to-back 8-4 records and consecutive trips to the Mineral Water Bowl in 2008-09. Prior to being promoted to head coach, he spent two seasons as an assistant coach under Jim Heinitz, serving as quarterbacks coach in 2003 and offensive coordinator in 2004.

2014 ROSE BOWL CHAMPIONS • 2013 BIG TEN CHAMPIONS

COACHING STAFF Mark Staten is in his eighth year on the coaching staff at Michigan State and his fourth as the offensive line coach. He was promoted to offensive line coach in February 2011 after serving as the tight ends/tackles coach and recruiting coordinator for four years. Staten adds a mix of professional playing experience with a solid coaching background.

Terrence Samuel, a 16-year coaching veteran who played his collegiate football at Purdue, is in his fourth year as wide receivers coach at Michigan State.

TERRENCE SAMUEL WIDE RECEIVERS FOURTH SEASON

Perhaps no position group on the team made as much improvement as the wide receiver corps during MSU’s Big Ten Championship season in 2013. A year after having to break in as many as four starters, the unit solidified itself as one of the best in the Big Ten. The Spartans were one of only two teams in the conference, along with Illinois, to have seven players with at least 17 receptions. In addition, nine different Spartans caught touchdowns in 2013, led by fifth-year senior Bennie Fowler, who hauled in six.

Fowler, whose strong senior campaign earned him a spot in the Senior Bowl and an invite to the NFL Scouting Combine, led the Spartans with a career-high 622 receiving yards on 36 catches, while junior Tony Lippett (44 catches for 613 yards) and sophomore Macgarrett Kings Jr. (43 for 513 yards) both recorded career highs in receptions and receiving yards. Lippett was named to the ESPN. com Big Ten All-Bowl Team after collecting a career-high 94 receiving yards in the Rose Bowl Game victory over No. 5 Stanford, including the game-winning 22-yard touchdown grab in the fourth quarter. After a record-breaking season in 2011, Samuel had the difficult challenge of restocking MSU’s receiving corps as only 23 percent of the team’s receptions and 16 percent of the team’s receiving yards returned in 2012. The young Spartans – featuring four new full-time starters and no seniors – improved significantly as the season progressed. Michigan State was the only team in the Big Ten to feature six players with at least 29 receptions, and three receivers recorded their first career touchdown catch. Samuel made an immediate impact at MSU in his first season in 2011. He helped tutor fifthyear senior B.J. Cunningham, who became the school’s all-time leader in receptions (218) and receiving yards (3,086). Under Samuel, Cunningham had his finest season as a Spartan, setting career highs in receptions (79), receiving yards (1,306) and touchdown catches (12). Those marks also ranked among MSU’s single-season leaders in receptions (tied for first), receiving yards (third) and touchdowns (tied for third). In addition, he set an MSU singleseason record with eight 100-yard receiving games. Cunningham was a second-team All-Big Ten selection by the coaches and media, and also earned All-America honors from Phil Steele (fourth team) and SI.com (honorable mention). Senior Keshawn Martin, an honorable mention All-Big Ten pick, also produced his best year, recording career highs in receptions (66) and receiving yards (777). A multi-dimensional threat, Martin finished his career ranked second in MSU history in punt return yards (659), eighth in kick return yards (1,100), 10th in all-purpose yards (4,013), 11th in receptions (127), 16th in receiving yards (1,714) and tied for 17th in touchdown receptions (10). Cunningham (79 catches) and Martin (66) combined for 145 receptions in 2011, the most ever by a receiving duo in a Michigan State season (previous record: 124 by Charles Rogers (67) and Herb Haygood (57) in 2001). Cunningham (1,306 yards) and Martin (777) also produced the most receiving yards of any receiving duo in an MSU season, teaming up for 2,083 receiving yards in 2011 (previous record: Plaxico Burress (1,142) and Gari Scott (843) with 1,985 receiving yards in 1998). Both of those marks by Cunningham and Martin (145 receptions; 2,083 receiving yards) ranked first among receiving duos in the Big Ten in 2011. Martin was selected in the fourth round of the 2012 National Football League Draft by the Houston Texas, while Cunningham was picked in the sixth round by the Miami Dolphins. Samuel spent the 2010 season at Central Michigan under former Spartan quarterback and assistant coach Dan Enos.

THE SAMUEL FILE

MARK STATEN OFFENSIVE LINE EIGHTH SEASON

Staten helped mold the top offensive line in head coach Mark Dantonio’s tenure in East Lansing during MSU’s record-setting season in 2013. The versatile group, which saw as many as eight lineman in the playing rotation, was one of the main reasons why Michigan State continued to improve throughout the season on the offensive side of the ball.

All five starters received postseason recognition, including left guard Blake Treadwell (second-team All-Big Ten, coaches and media), center Jack Allen (secondteam All-Big Ten, media), right tackle Fou Fonoti (honorable mention All-Big Ten), right guard Dan France (honorable mention All-Big Ten) and left tackle Jack Conklin (first-team Freshman All-American by Football Writers Association of America, Sporting News and CollegeFootballNews.com). In addition, Allen and Treadwell were each named to the ESPN. com Big Ten All-Bowl Team for their performances in the Rose Bowl Game victory over No. 5 Stanford. Junior center Travis Jackson, junior guard Connor Kruse and sophomore tackle Donavon Clark also were instrumental to the line’s success. For the third-straight season, Staten mentored a Freshman All-American, as Conklin earned first-team honors from the FWAA, Sporting News and CollegeFootballNews.com. Allen was a first-team selection by the FWAA and Sporting News in 2012, while Jackson garnered Freshman All-America accolades in 2011. Michigan State not only protected first-year starting quarterback Connor Cook, as the line gave up only 17 sacks (second fewest in Big Ten and tied for 15th fewest in the FBS), but it also paved the way for Jeremy Langford, who led the conference with 18 rushing touchdowns. When the game was on the line, the unit performed at its best – the Spartans ranked 16th in the FBS in fourth quarter rushing (56.8 avg.) and ranked seventh in the nation in time of possession (33:19 per game). MSU had to deal with multiple injuries throughout the first half of 2012, including the loss of starters Fonoti and Jackson. The Spartans used six different starting combinations along the offensive line, but still managed to lead the way for first-team All-Big Ten selection Le’Veon Bell, who led the Big Ten and ranked third in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision in rushing, averaging 137.9 yards per game. The line showed signs of improvement toward the end of the season, as Bell averaged 183.0 rushing yards when the Spartans used the same starting five up front for the last four games. Heading into 2011, Michigan State’s offensive line had to replace three starters, but Staten helped develop a young group that featured just one senior starter into one of the best in the Big Ten. Although the Spartans had to use four different starting combinations on the offensive line, including three different starting centers, the unit allowed just 16 sacks, second-fewest in the Big Ten and 19th-fewest in the FBS. As tight ends/tackles coach, Staten’s players collected All-Big Ten honors on seven occasions, including second-team tackle Pete Clifford (2007), second-team tackle Jesse Miller (2008), second-team tight end Charlie Gantt (2010) and second-team tackle D.J. Young (2010). As recruiting coordinator, Staten helped put together a 2009 recruiting class that analysts ranked among the nation’s Top 25 (MaxPreps/Tom Lemming No. 12, PrepStar No. 15, Rivals. com No. 17 and Scouts, Inc. No. 21). The Spartans followed that effort with another stellar class in 2010 that was ranked among the nation’s Top 30 (MaxPreps/Tom Lemming No. 22, Rivals.com No. 29).

2014 MICHIGAN STATE SPRING FOOTBALL • MSUSPARTANS.COM • @MSU_FOOTBALL

COACHING STAFF Mike Tressel is in his eighth year as the linebackers and special teams coach at Michigan State.

Ken Mannie is in his 20th year as Michigan State’s head strength and conditioning coach for football, while additionally directing and overseeing the strength and conditioning programs for all men’s and women’s sports. His “Fourth Quarter” and “Bottom Line” offseason conditioning programs have been a significant reason for Michigan State’s success in the Coach Mark Dantonio era, as the Spartans have earned a school-record seven consecutive bowl bids, including a victory in the 2014 Rose Bowl Game over No. 5 Stanford.

The impressive play of the Spartan linebackers under Tressel is one of the main reasons why Michigan State has led the Big Ten in rushing defense and total defense the past three seasons. In addition, the Spartans are one of just two NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision Schools, along with Alabama, to rank in the Top 10 nationally in total defense, rushing defense and scoring defense the last three years. Senior captain Max Bullough, a two-time first-team AllBig Ten selection, was the quarterback of the league’s top-ranked defense in 2013. A third-team All-America honoree by The Associated Press, Bullough ranked among the team leaders in tackles (76) and tackles for loss (9.5). He closed his career with 40 starts at middle linebacker and ranks 11th in school history in tackles for loss (30.5) and 18th in tackles (299). MIKE TRESSEL LINEBACKERS/SPECIAL TEAMS EIGHTH SEASON

Fellow three-year starter Denicos Allen picked up second-team All-America accolades from SI.com. Allen led the team with a career-high 98 tackles as a senior and also led the team with 16.5 tackles for loss, good for seventh most in an MSU single-season. He finished his career ranked third in the school record book with 46 career tackles for loss. Allen capped his illustrious career with seven tackles, including 1.5 for losses, in the 100th Rose Bowl Game against No. 5 Stanford, and was named to the SI.com All-Bowl Team and ESPN.com Big Ten All-Bowl Team. Junior Taiwan Jones, the starter at Star (weakside) linebacker, ranked fourth on the team with a career-high 67 tackles, including seven for loss. Tressel also oversees a successful special teams unit that has been one of the best in the Big Ten since his arrival. Junior punter Mike Sadler, who was selected a first-team All-American by CBSSports.com and ESPN.com, has proven to be a valuable weapon throughout his career. In 2013, he led the nation with 24 punts downed inside the 10-yard line and ranked tied for second with 33 placed inside the 20. True freshman placekicker Michael Geiger stepped into the starting role in Week 4 and rose to the challenge. Geiger made 13 consecutive field goals to close the season and set the MSU single-season field-goal percentage record (.938; 15 of 16). He was an honorable mention All-America pick by SI.com and a first-team Freshman All-America selection by the Football Writers Association of America. The past seven years, MSU has had two first-team All-Big Ten placekickers (Conroy and Brett Swenson), two first-team All-Big Ten punters (Sadler and Aaron Bates), and has featured conference leaders in both kick returns (Devin Thomas) and punt returns (Keshawn Martin).

Mannie is a certified strength and conditioning specialist with the Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches Association (CSCCa), the National Strength and Conditioning Coaches Association (NSCA) and holds an honorary certification with the International Association of Resistance Trainers (IART). In May 2002 at its annual conference in Salt Lake City, the Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches Association awarded Mannie the title of Master Strength and Conditioning Coach (MSCC) in recognition of his credentials, professional contributions, mentorship, expertise, and longevity in the field.

In 2011, Michigan State led the Big Ten in rushing defense (100.5 yards per game) and total defense (277.4 ypg.) en route to winning the Big Ten Legends Division title. For the first time since 1990, all three of MSU’s starting linebackers garnered All-Big Ten honors. Allen, who ranked second in the Big Ten in sacks with 11 and fourth in tackles for loss with 18.5, was named second-team all-conference by the media. Bullough picked up second-team accolades from the coaches after leading the Spartans with 89 tackles and junior Chris Norman was named honorable mention after recording career highs in tackles (76) and tackles for loss (6.5).
