• MSU was ranked No. 5 in the final 2014 Associated Press and USA TODAY/Amway Coaches Polls. The Spartans finished ranked among the nation’s top five for the second year in a row (No. 3 in both polls in 2013) - a program first since 1965-66. It also marked MSU’s 14th Top 10 finish in the history of the AP Poll. Michigan State has been ranked in the AP Poll for 25 consecutive weeks, including 17 weeks in the Top 10. It marked MSU’s fifth Top 10 finish in the history of the USA TODAY Coaches Poll (began administering the poll in 1991), including its third under Dantonio. Dantonio has led Michigan State to Top 25 finishes in five of the last seven seasons (2008: No. 24 in both polls; 2010: No. 14 in both polls; 2011: No. 10 USA TODAY/ No. 11 AP; 2013: No. 3 in both polls; and 2014: No. 5 in both polls). • Michigan State has recorded 53 wins since 2010 - the most in the Big Ten over the last five seasons and seventh most in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision. The Spartans have posted five consecutive winning seasons, a first for the program since recording six in a row from 1985-90. MSU has won 24 games the past two seasons, the most in back-to-back seasons in school history (previous: 22 in 2010-11) and tied for third most in the FBS (Florida State: 27; Ohio State: 26; MSU/Oregon: 24). • Michigan State has recorded four double-digit win seasons in the past five years (11 in 2010, 11 in 2011, school-record 13 in 2013, 11 in 2014). MSU is just the third Big Ten program, along with Michigan and Ohio State, to win at least 11 games four times in a five-year span as a conference member. Michigan State has won at least 10 games in a season six times (10 in 1965, 10 in 1999, 11 in 2010, 11 in 2011, 13 in 2013, 11 in 2014), including four (2010, 2011, 2013, 2014) under head coach Mark Dantonio. • Michigan State returns a total of 52 letterwinners and 17 starters in 2015. The Spartans welcome back 26 letterwinners and seven starters from last season’s record-breaking offense that set school single-season marks for points (559), scoring average (43.0 ppg.), offensive touchdowns (70), total offense (6,510 yards), rushing touchdowns (44), rushing yards (3,057) and first downs (321). MSU brings back fifth-year senior Connor Cook, who enters his third year as the starting quarterback, to lead the offense. A second-team All-Big Ten selection, Cook led the Big Ten in passing as a junior in 2014 (3,214 yards; 247.2 ypg.) and ranked second in touchdown passes (24). On defense, the Spartans return 23 letterwinners and seven starters from a unit that ranked in the NCAA FBS Top 10 in total defense (No. 8 at 315.8 ypg.) for the fourth consecutive year. Three of the four starters on the defensive line are back, including two-time second-team All-American Shilique Calhoun at defensive end. • With its 42-41 Cotton Bowl Classic victory over Baylor, MSU extended its school-record bowl winning streak to four games, tied for the longest in Big Ten history (2012 Outback over No. 18 Georgia, 2012 Buffalo Wild Wings over TCU, 2014 Rose Bowl over No. 5 Stanford, 2015 Cotton Bowl over No. 4 Baylor). It also equals the longest active bowl winning streak in the FBS. Michigan State is one of just five schools in the FBS to win bowl games in each of the last four seasons (Louisiana-Lafayette, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas A&M).

• MSU’s 20-point comeback win over Baylor (trailed 41-21 entering the fourth quarter) in the 2015 Cotton Bowl Classic was the biggest in Spartan postseason history (previous: down 16-0 at halftime to Georgia in the 2012 Outback Bowl).

Secondary coach Harlon Barnett and linebackers coach Mike Tressel, who have both been on Dantonio’s staff since his arrival at MSU in 2007, were promoted to co-defensive coordinators. Barnett also was named assistant head coach. Barnett and Tressel are filling the position left by former assistant head coach/defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi, who was introduced as the new head coach at the University of Pittsburgh on Dec. 26. Mark Snyder, a 26-year coaching veteran including 12 seasons as either a head coach or defensive coordinator, was named linebackers coach and special teams coordinator at Michigan State on Jan. 9. Ron Burton, who is entering his third season in East Lansing, will remain coaching the defensive line. Barnett’s players have earned All-Big Ten honors 22 times since his arrival as secondary coach at MSU, including seven different first-team selections (Otis Wiley in 2008; Trenton Robinson in 2011; Johnny Adams in 2011-12; Darqueze Dennard in 2012-13, Isaiah Lewis in 2013; Kurtis Drummond in 2013-14; Trae Waynes in 2014). All four of MSU’s starters in the secondary garnered All-Big Ten recognition during the 2010, 2011 and 2013 seasons, and the last two Big Ten Defensive Backs of the Year have come from Michigan State (Dennard in 2013, Drummond in 2014). Barnett has coached three All-Americans (Dennard, Drummond, Waynes) and three Thorpe Award semifinalists (Dennard, Waynes, Wiley). A unanimous first-team All-American, Dennard became the first Spartan to win the Thorpe Award, given to the nation’s best defensive back, in 2013. Four Spartans in the secondary have been selected in the NFL Draft under Barnett’s tutelage: Jeremy Ware (2010, Oakland Raiders, seventh round), Chris L. Rucker (2011, Indianapolis Colts, sixth round), Robinson (2012, San Francisco 49ers, sixth round) and Dennard (2014, Cincinnati Bengals, first round).

2015 SPARTAN SPRING FOOTBALL 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 the past four seasons. Under the guidance of Tressel, Spartan linebackers have earned All-Big Ten honors 13 times and All-America accolades on four occasions (Greg Jones: 2009-10; Denicos Allen: 2013; Max Bullough: 2013). Snyder and Dantonio have coached together before, as Snyder was the linebackers coach at Ohio State from 2001-03 while Dantonio was the defensive coordinator for the Buckeyes. Snyder most recently served as the defensive coordinator at Texas A&M for the past three seasons (2012-14) and has eight years of coaching experience in the Big Ten Conference (Minnesota, 1997-2000; Ohio State, 2001-04). He has coached on multiple National Championship and conference championships staffs during his longtime coaching career.

Letterwinners lost (0) Outlook: Fifth-year senior Connor Cook returns for his third season as the starting quarterback in 2015 after leading the Spartans to a 23-3 record as a starter in 2013 and 2014. In addition, Cook owns a 16-1 record against Big Ten opponents and is one of just two starting Spartan quarterbacks to win two bowl games (2014 Rose Bowl, 2015 Cotton Bowl). In 30 career games, he has completed 58 percent of his passes (444-of-762) for 6,063 yards, 47 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. Cook was a second-team All-Big Ten selection for the second year in a row as a junior in 2014 after leading the Big Ten in passing (3,214 yards; 247.2 ypg.) and ranking second in touchdown passes (24). Those numbers were also some of the best in MSU single-season history (second in TDs, third in passing yards). He enters his final season in East Lansing ranked among MSU’s all-time leaders in passing efficiency (third with 141.5 rating), 300-yard passing games (third with six), 200-yard passing games (tied for third with 18), touchdown passes (third with 47), total offense (fourth with 6,216 yards), passing yards (fifth with 6,063), pass completions (seventh with 444), pass attempts (eighth with 762) and pass completion percentage (ninth at .583). Cook will also have an opportunity to become the winningest quarterback in school history (record currently held by Kirk Cousins, who had 27 wins from 2009-11) . . . junior Tyler O’Connor and sophomore Damion Terry will compete for the back-up position. O’Connor saw action in five games last year as the back-up, completing 75 percent of his passes (12-of-16) for 151 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. Terry also played in five contests; he completed 12-of-19 passes (.632) for 88 yards and had 62 rushing yards on 12 attempts (5.2 avg.).

STAFF

Outlook: The race for the starting tailback will be one of the key position battles to watch in the spring following the departure of Jeremy Langford, who rushed for more touchdowns (40) and the second-most yards (2,944) in a two-season span in Michigan State history. Langford tied an MSU single-season record with 22 rushing TDs last season as a senior and also rushed for a career-high 1,522 yards. He finished his career by rushing for more than 100 yards in a school-record 10 straight games . . . promising red-shirt freshman Madre London and sophomore Gerald Holmes will both get an opportunity to see plenty of carries in the spring. Holmes did see action in three games as a red-shirt freshman in 2014, collecting 44 yards on 15 carries (2.9 avg.) . . . red-shirt freshman T.J. Harrell, who played linebacker during his redshirt season in 2014, could also see some carries during spring practice . . . incoming freshman LJ Scott is also expected to compete for playing time upon his arrival to the team in the fall . . . at fullback, Trevon Pendleton is back for his third year in the starting lineup. Primarily used as a blocker, Pendleton has started 19 games the past two seasons for MSU.

MSUSpartanAthletics 2015 MICHIGAN STATE SPRING FOOTBALL • MSUSPARTANS.COM • @MSU_FOOTBALL

2015 SPARTAN SPRING FOOTBALL Outlook: Michigan State lost two of its top receivers to graduation, including 2014 Big Ten Receiver of the Year Tony Lippett, who led the team in receptions (65), receiving yards (1,198) and touchdown catches (11). Keith Mumphery, who caught the game-winning TD pass in the Cotton Bowl Classic victory over Baylor, is also gone after recording 26 catches for 495 yards and three TDs his senior season . . . the Spartans will be looking for senior Aaron Burbridge to have a big season to replace some of the production lost. Burbridge tied for second on the team in 2014 with 29 catches and ranked fifth with 358 receiving yards. He enters his final season with 80 career catches for 916 yards (11.4 avg.) and three TDs . . . versatile junior R.J. Shelton has six career starts under his belt and will likely have an expanded role in the offense in 2015. Shelton ranked fourth on the team in rushing with 148 yards on 21 carries (7.0 avg.) and two TDs as a sophomore and was sixth with 16 receptions for 173 yards (10.8 avg.) and two TDs . . . senior AJ Troup had seven catches for 113 yards and two TDs in his first full healthy season for the Spartans in 2014 and should only see his playing time increase in 2015 . . . the coaches have cited significant improvement from junior Monty Madaris (five catches for 56 yards in 2014), who could contribute at a much higher level this upcoming season . . . returning letterwinners DeAnthony Arnett, Tres Barksdale, Matt Macksood and Andre Sims Jr. will also compete for playing time.

KODI KIELER (2) * Counting six starters (Kruse started seven games; Kieler started eight games) • Offensive Line: Michigan State fielded the strongest offensive line of the head coach Mark Dantonio era during MSU’s record-breaking offensive season in 2014 and returns four players with starting experience in 2015. Among the numerous records set last season, the Spartans rushed for the most yards (3,057) and touchdowns (44) in program history, and averaged 235.2 rushing yards per game, MSU’s highest single-game average since 2005 (238.5 ypg.). MSU also allowed just 11 sacks, fewest in the Big Ten and fourth fewest in the FBS . . . The line is anchored by fourth-year starting center Jack Allen, who became just the fourth Spartan center in school history to earn first-team All-America honors in 2014. A Rimington Trophy finalist last season for the nation’s top center, Allen enters his final season with 35 career starts (30 at center, five at left guard) . . . heralded junior Jack Conklin graded out the highest among Spartan offensive linemen during the regular season and returns for his third year as the starting left tackle. He also led the team in the regular season with 104.5 knockdowns . . . the right side of the offensive line shuffled a bit during the regular season due to injuries, but Donavon Clark was a mainstay the entire year. Clark started all 13 games (eight at right guard; five at right tackle) but will likely stay inside at guard his senior season in 2015; he recorded a career-best 60 knockdowns as a junior in 2014 . . . Kodi Kieler began last season as the starting right tackle until Connor Kruse re-entered the lineup midway through the season. Kieler was a regular in the rotation, however, and returned to the starting lineup for the final two games of the season. He is now fully entrenched as the starting right tackle entering 2015 . . . although the Spartans will miss co-captain Travis

LAWRENCE THOMAS (3)* .......................................................................................................................................Malik McDowell (1) MARCUS RUSH (4) ................................................DE ...................................................... Evan Jones (1) * Positions based on final 2014 depth chart. Thomas enters spring practice as starter at defensive end. Outlook: Michigan State has featured one of the top defensive lines in the nation the past few seasons, and 2015 should be no different, as the Spartans return three starters and five players with starting experience from last year’s unit that helped the team rank No. 1 in the NCAA FBS in rushing defense (88.5 ypg.) . . . fifth-year senior defensive end Shilique Calhoun will anchor the line in his third year as a starter. Calhoun, a two-time second-team All-American and two-time first-team All-Big Ten selection (2013, 2014), has 82 tackles, including 29 for losses (186 yards) with 16.5 sacks (137 yards), in his career. The disruptive playmaker already ranks among MSU’s all-time leaders in tackles for loss yardage (sixth with 186), sack yardage (seventh with 137), sacks (tied for eighth with 16.5), fumble recoveries (tied for 10th with five) and tackles for loss (tied for 14th with 29) . . . opposite of Calhoun, the Spartans must replace Marcus Rush, who set the school record for most starts (53) in program history. Rush finished his career ranked among MSU’s all-time Top 10 leaders in tackles for loss (seventh with 37.5) and sacks (seventh with 18.5) . . . fifth-year senior Lawrence Thomas, who had a breakout junior season in 2014 in his first year as a starter at nose tackle with a career-high 30 tackles, enters spring practice as the other starter at defensive end. He also posted career highs in tackles for loss (4.5 for 19 yards) and sacks (three for 16 yards) last season. Thomas began his career at linebacker, moved to fullback as a red-shirt freshman in 2012, and rotated from defensive end and defensive tackle upon returning to the defense in 2013 before becoming a full-time starter at nose tackle in 2014 . . . sophomore Demetrius Cooper, junior Evan Jones and red-shirt freshman Montez Sweat will also compete for playing time at defensive end . . . on the interior, fifth-year senior Joel Heath started 12 games at defensive tackle as a junior last season and also had a career year with 29 tackles, including five for losses (22 yards) and 2.5 sacks (19 yards) . . . talented sophomore Malik McDowell, who earned Freshman All-America honors in 2014 from the Football Writers Association of America, came on strong toward the end of his first season and earned the starting nod at nose tackle in the Cotton Bowl Classic. He finished his true freshman year with 15 tackles, including 4.5 for losses (21 yards) and 1.5 sacks (15 yards), and enters spring practice as the starter at nose tackle . . . fifth-year senior Damon Knox, who battled a back injury the first half of last season, will also see playing time inside, and a trio of red-shirt freshmen (Craig Evans, Enoch Smith and David Beedle) will also compete for time in the rotation.

Outlook: The Spartans return two of their three starters from a year ago in Sam (strongside) linebacker Ed Davis and Star (weakside) linebacker Darien Harris . . . in his first year as a starter, Davis led the team during the regular season in production points and finished the year ranked fourth on the team with a career-high 58 tackles . . . he also ranked third on the team in tackles for loss (12 for 48 yards) and sacks (seven for 33 yards) and had at least a half tackle for loss in 10 of 13 games . . . sophomore Chris Frey, who played in all 13 games as a true freshman, will also see time at Sam . . . Harris started 11 games and ranked fifth on the team with a career-high 48 tackles . . . sophomore Jalyn Powell, a converted safety, also will push for playing time at Star . . . in the middle, Michigan State is looking to replace second-team All-Big Ten selection Taiwan Jones, who played his senior season at Mike in 2014 after playing his first three years at Star . . . junior Riley Bullough enters spring practice as one of the top candidates to start in the middle, following in the footsteps of his older brother Max, who was a three-year starter at Mike from 2011-13. Bullough spent a majority of his sophomore year in 2014 as the back-up Sam linebacker, but did move inside the final four games of the season following a shoulder injury to Jon Reschke. Bullough, who spent 2013 on offense as a running back and then fullback due to a need at the position, collected a career-high 29 tackles in 2014 . . . Reschke will be a sophomore in 2015 and is also a candidate to start at Mike after serving as Jones’ backup a majority of last season. In eight games of action as a red-shirt freshman, Reschke registered 13 tackles and forced two fumbles; he missed the final four games of the season due to a shoulder injury.

In 2013, unanimous All-American Darqueze Dennard won the Jim Thorpe Award and was a 2014 first-round NFL Draft pick, while Trae Waynes, a second-team All-American last season and a likely first-round pick in 2015, declared early for the draft this year . . . junior Darian Hicks started the first 10 games at cornerback last season before wide receiver Tony Lippett was moved back to defense late in the season. Hicks had 28 tackles and five passes defended as a sophomore, including two interceptions, and will be in the mix for a starting role again in 2014 . . . talented red-shirt freshman Vayante Copeland begins spring practice listed as the co-starter at field corner, along with Hicks . . . junior Demetrious Cox, a converted safety, played cornerback at the end of last season, and enters spring as the starter at boundary corner . . . fifth-year senior Arjen Colquhoun and junior Jermaine Edmondson will also compete for playing time at cornerback . . . at safety, fifth-year senior RJ Williamson is back for his second season in the starting lineup. Williamson ranked third on the team with a career-high 59 tackles as a junior in 2014 and ranked tied for second on the team with three interceptions (60 yards), including two interception returns for touchdowns (29 yards vs. Michigan; 22 yards vs. Maryland). After starting at strong safety last season, Williamson will move to free safety in 2015, as two-year starter and 2014 first-team All-American Kurtis Drummond graduated. Drummond was named the 2014 Big Ten Defensive Back of the Year after leading the Spartans in tackles (72), interceptions (4) and pass break-ups (11) last season . . . sophomore Montae Nicholson, a 2014 All-Big Ten Freshman selection who led all first-year Spartans with 31 tackles, enters spring practice as the starter at strong safety. Nicholson started three games at strong safety as a true freshman in 2014 . . . returning letterwinner Mark Meyers adds depth at both safety and cornerback.

SPECIAL TEAMS CAPSULE • Placekicker: Junior Michael Geiger set an MSU single-season record for PATs with 72 in 2014, breaking the previous record by 19 (Brett Swenson with 53 in 2007). Following his Freshman All-America year in 2013 in which he set an MSU single-season record for field-goal percentage (.938; 15-of-16), Geiger was 14-of-22 on field-goal attempts as a sophomore . . . he enters his third season as the starting placekicker ranked fourth in MSU history in field-goal percentage (.763), fourth in point-after attempt percentage (.982), seventh in extra-points made (108), 10th in field goals made (29) and 16th in points (195) . . . Geiger will not participate in spring practice (hip), but will be fully healthy entering preseason camp. • Punter: The Spartans must replace four-year starting punter Mike Sadler, who proved to be a valuable weapon on special teams throughout his career and earned first-team All-America honors as a junior in 2013. He finished his career ranked among MSU’s all-time leaders in punts (second with 268), punting yards (second with 11,307) and punting average (sixth at 42.2), and placed 39 percent of his career punts inside the 20 (104-of-268) . . . red-shirt freshman Jake Hartbarger will step into the starting role for the Spartans in 2015 . . . since Dantonio’s arrival in 2007, MSU has had just two starting punters (Aaron Bates from 2007-10; Sadler from 2011-14), both of whom earned first-team All-Big Ten accolades during their careers. • Long Snapper: Senior Taybor Pepper returns for his fourth season as the starting long snapper. • Kickoff Specialist: Junior Kevin Cronin won the starting kickoff specialist spot last season and went on to lead the Big Ten in touchbacks with 46. Cronin ranked among the NCAA FBS leaders in kickoffs (third with 99), kickoff yards (third with 6,279), kickoff average (10th at 63.4) and touchbacks (tied for 13th with 46). • Kick Returner: Junior R.J. Shelton, who was named a second-team All-Big Ten kick returner by Athlon Sports and Phil Steele as a sophomore in 2014, ranked sixth in MSU single-season history in kick returns (793 yards on 31 attempts; 25.6 avg.). Shelton was named the College Football Performance Awards National Kick Returner of the Week and Big Ten Co-Special Teams Player of the Week after returning three kickoffs for a career-high 135 yards (45.0 avg.) and one touchdown in Michigan State’s 34-10 win at Penn State; he returned the opening kickoff 90 yards for a score against the Nittany Lions for his first career kickoff return for a touchdown. • Punt Returner: Senior Andre Sims Jr. will field punts for the Spartans during the spring; he has 27 punt returns for 224 yards (8.3 avg.) in his career. Shelton could also see time as a punt returner.

2015 SPARTAN SPRING FOOTBALL QUICK LOOK AT THE 2015 SCHEDULE – • Michigan State will face nine teams on its 2015 schedule that appeared in postseason bowl games last season, including all four of its non-conference games (Sept. 4 at Western Michigan, Sept. 12 vs. Oregon, Sept. 19 vs. Air Force, Sept. 26 vs. Central Michigan). Spartan Big Ten opponents Rutgers, Nebraska, Maryland, Ohio State and Penn State also played in bowl games last season. • Michigan State opens the 2015 season with its first-ever trip to Western Michigan to face the Broncos on Friday, Sept. 4 at Waldo Stadium in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The game is part of the “Celebrate the State” series, along with Central Michigan and Eastern Michigan. The Spartans defeated WMU in 2013, 26-13, and will entertain the Broncos at Spartan Stadium during the 2017 and 2019 seasons. It will mark Michigan State’s first game in Kalamazoo since playing at Kalamazoo College in 1905. MSU leads the all-time series against Western Michigan, 11-2. • In a marquee non-conference matchup, the Spartans will host national runner-up Oregon on Sept. 12 in Spartan Stadium. MSU lost in Eugene last season, 46-27, as the Ducks (13-2) went on to win the Pac-12 Championship and Rose Bowl before falling to Ohio State in the inaugural College Football Playoff Championship Game. Oregon leads the all-time series against MSU, 3-2, but the Spartans defeated the Ducks in their last trip to East Lansing, 27-20, in 1999. In the “way-too-early” preseason polls that have released, the Ducks are ranked No. 4 by FoxSports.com, No. 5 by Sporting News, No. 6 by ESPN.com, SI.com and Dennis Dodd of CBSSports.com, and No. 8 by Athlon Sports and CollegeFootballNews.com. • The Spartans will take on Air Force (Sept. 19 in Spartan Stadium) for the first time in school history.

STAFF CONTINUITY SPARKS DANTONIO’S SUCCESS AT MSU – • MSU head coach Mark Dantonio has repeatedly stressed the importance of continuity on his coaching staff as one of the main reasons for Michigan State’s success during his tenure. Four of MSU’s nine assistant coaches have been at MSU since Dantonio’s arrival in 2007 (assistant head coach/co-defensive coordinator/ secondary coach Harlon Barnett, offensive line coach Mark Staten, co-defensive coordinator/linebackers coach Mike Tressel, co-offensive coordinator/running backs coach Dave Warner). Those four also coached under Dantonio at Cincinnati. Dantonio, Barnett, Staten and Tressel have been on the same staff since 2004. • In addition, quarterbacks coach/recruiting coordinator Brad Salem is in his sixth year on the staff, wide receivers coach Terrence Samuel is in his fifth year, and defensive line coach Ron Burton is in his third year. Co-offensive coordinator/tight ends coach Jim Bollman, who is also in his third season, has coached with Dantonio on three previous occasions: Youngstown State (1986-90), Michigan State (1995-97) and Ohio State (2001-03). • Three of Dantonio’s former assistants left Michigan State to become head coaches at FBS schools: Don Treadwell (Miami-Ohio, 2011-13), Dan Enos (Central Michigan, 2010-14) and Pat Narduzzi (Pittsburgh, first season).

• Michigan State is one of just five schools in the FBS to win bowl games in each of the last four seasons (Louisiana-Lafayette, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas A&M). • With a 42-12 record, the 2014 senior class equaled the 2013 class as the winningest in school history. • Michigan State is one of only six schools to have had at least one player chosen every year since the inception of the common NFL Draft in 1967. MSU joins Florida, Michigan, Nebraska, Tennessee and USC as the only programs with at least one draft choice for 48 consecutive years. • Michigan State and Florida are the only schools in the country to win multiple National Championships in football and men’s basketball. MSU has won six national titles in football (1951, 1952, 1955, 1957, 1965, 1966) and two in men’s basketball (1979, 2000). Michigan State is also the only school in the nation to win multiple National Championships in football, men’s basketball and hockey. • Since 2008, MSU has recorded 42 Big Ten regular-season victories, the most of any team in the conference (Note: Ohio State has won 48 games, but had to vacate seven victories following the 2010 season). The Spartans 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, won the inaugural Big Ten Legends Divisions title in 2011, and won the 2013 Big Ten Championship and 2014 Rose Bowl Game.

ROAD WARRIORS – • Michigan State is 23-9 (.719) in Big Ten road games under MSU head coach Mark Dantonio, including a school-record 10-game winning streak and a 16-3 record (.842) since 2010. Dantonio has won at least one road game at every Big Ten stadium (excluding Rutgers, who joined the Big Ten in 2014 and where MSU has yet to play a conference game). • Michigan State’s 10-game road Big Ten winning streak, dating back to 2012, is the longest in school history, besting the previous record of eight straight set in 1965-67 and 1988-90. It’s also the fourth-longest active conference road winning streak in the FBS. • The Spartans have won nine consecutive road games in November and 10 of 11 November road games under Dantonio (only November road loss: Nov. 22, 2008 at No. 7 Penn State). • Michigan State has won a school-record 10 consecutive Big Ten road games.

2015 SPARTAN SPRING FOOTBALL A BALANCED APPROACH – • Mark Dantonio has always stressed the importance of a balanced offense, and the 2014 Spartans couldn’t have been more balanced statistically. MSU was one of just three teams in the NCAA FBS, along with Ohio State and Marshall, to average more than 235 yards in both rushing and passing. The Spartans averaged 235.2 yards rushing with a school-record 44 TDs and 265.6 yards passing with 26 TDs. Twelve different offensive players scored touchdowns in 2014 for the Spartans, including 10 with at least two touchdowns. SPARTAN OFFENSE PRODUCTIVE AND HIGHLY EFFICIENT – • Michigan State’s offense was not only incredibly productive in 2014, but also remarkably efficient, scoring touchdowns on 41 percent of its possessions (.412 percent, 70-of-171). The Spartans also scored on 49 percent of their possessions (84-of-171, 70 touchdowns, 14 field goals). [Not including drives of two plays or fewer to end a half]. • MSU outscored teams in the first half by 204 points (335-131) and in the first quarter by 124 points (166-42). • Michigan State scored at least 45 points in six games, marking the most amount of times MSU scored at least 45 points in a single-season (five in 1948 and 1978). • Michigan State ranked No. 1 in the NCAA FBS in time of possession (35:21). Under Mark Dantonio, Michigan State is 58-10 (.853) when leading in time of possession, including a 45-7 record (.865) since 2010. • Michigan State collected more than 500 yards of total offense seven times in 2014 (564 vs. Jacksonville State, 533 vs. Wyoming, 532 vs. Purdue, 662 vs. Indiana, 536 vs. Ohio State; 520 vs. Rutgers; 552 vs. Baylor). • Against Eastern Michigan (73 points) and Wyoming (56 points), MSU scored 50 points in back-to-back games for the first time since 1978. In addition, the Spartans scored 50 points three times in 2014 (Indiana, 56) for the first time since 1978. • Michigan State produced 300-plus total yards in the first half in seven of 13 games. • MSU scored touchdowns on its first possession in eight of its 13 games (.615). CONNOR COOK LED BIG TEN IN PASSING IN 2014 – Fifth-year senior Connor Cook, a back-to-back second-team All-Big Ten selection, returns for his third season as the starting quarterback in 2015 after leading the Spartans to a 23-3 record (.885) as a starter in 2013 and 2014. In addition, Cook owns a 16-1 record against Big Ten opponents. Cook and Dan Enos are the only two Spartan quarterbacks to win two bowl games as the starting quarterback (Cook: 2014 Rose, 2015 Cotton; Enos: 1989 Aloha, 1990 Sun). Cook also led the Spartans on a game-winning drive in the 2012 Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl against TCU. Cook has led the Spartans to three straight fourth-quarter comebacks in bowl games. Cook recorded his fourth 300-yard passing game of the season and sixth of his career, completing 24-of42 throws for 314 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in the Cotton Bowl Classic victory against Baylor. His 314 passing yards are the fourth-highest single-game total in Cotton Bowl and MSU bowl history. With 314 passing yards against the Bears, Cook became just the fifth QB in Spartan history to eclipse the 6,000-yard career milestone. His 24 completions (second) and 42 pass attempts (third) rank among the top single-game bowl totals in Spartan history. Cook’s completions (fifth) and pass attempts (sixth) also rank among the top Cotton Bowl marks. In leading MSU to back-to-back bowl wins over No. 5 Stanford and No. 4 Baylor (Associated Press final regular-season ranking), Cook hit 46-of-78 throws (.590) for 646 yards (323.0 yards per game), four TDs and three interceptions. In three postseason bowl appearances (add 2012 Buffalo Wild Wings vs. TCU), he owns MSU career records for passing yards (693) and TD passes (5).

SPARTAN TRENDS UNDER DANTONIO – Here’s how Michigan State has fared during head coach Mark Dantonio’s tenure (2007-14: 106 games):

SPARTANS WELL REPRESENTED AT NFL SCOUTING COMBINE, ALL-STAR GAMES – • Six Michigan State players - safety Kurtis Drummond, linebacker Taiwan Jones , running back Jeremy Langford , wide receiver Tony Lippett, wide receiver Keith Mumphery and cornerback Trae Waynes participated in the 2015 National Football League Scouting Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. The Spartans led all Big Ten teams with six players participating in the 2015 NFL Scouting Combine. • Already rated the top cornerback entering the NFL Combine by ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. and NFL Network’s Mike Mayock, Waynes further validated his case as the top player at his position in the 2015 NFL Draft class with his showing at the NFL Combine. Waynes ran the fastest 40-yard dash time ever recorded by a Spartan at the NFL Combine at 4.31 seconds, a time that was also the fastest by any cornerback and the second-fastest overall in 2015. Waynes’ time of 4.31 in the 40 eclipsed former Spartan wide receiver Devin Thomas’ 4.40 seconds in 2008. Only wide receiver J.J. Nelson of UAB ran a faster 40 time than Waynes this year (4.28). In addition, the 4.31 tied for the third-best time by a cornerback and tied for the 10th-best overall since 2006. It also tied for the best 40 time by a Big Ten player in the last 10 years (Justin King, cornerback, Penn State, 2008). • Michigan State featured two of the fastest position players in the 40-yard dash at the 2015 NFL Scouting Combine. Waynes’ time of 4.31 seconds was the fastest of any cornerback and second fastest overall, while Langford’s 4.42 seconds was the best of any running back.

2015 SPARTAN SPRING FOOTBALL • Seven Michigan State seniors participated in collegiate all-star games following the 2014 season. Drummond, Langford and Lippett represented the North at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama, while Jones (West) and Mumphery (East) were on opposing sidelines for the 90th East-West Shrine Game at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida, on Jan. 17. Defensive end Marcus Rush (National) and punter Mike Sadler (American) also played against each other in the National Football League Players Association Collegiate Bowl at the StubHub Center in Carson, California, on Jan. 17. MICHIGAN STATE RANKS AMONG TOP 25 IN ATTENDANCE FOR 59TH STRAIGHT YEAR – • Michigan State has ranked among the NCAA’s Top 25 in attendance each of the last 59 seasons, including No. 20 in 2014, averaging 74,681 fans per game. The Spartans ranked No. 16 in the NCAA in total attendance at 522,765 fans for seven home games. CLINTON JONES ELECTED TO COLLEGE FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME – • Former Michigan State two-time All-American Clinton Jones was one of 15 players and two coaches named to the College Football Hall of Fame on Jan. 9. A three-year letterman from 1964-66 for legendary head coach Duffy Daugherty, Jones accounted for 2,549 career all-purpose yards and 23 touchdowns. Jones led the team in rushing and all-purpose yards in his final two seasons while helping the Spartans to a combined record of 19-1-1, including back-to-back Big Ten and National Championships in 1965 and ‘66. • Jones becomes the eighth former Michigan State player to be selected for the College Football Hall of Fame, joining halfback John Pingel (inducted in 1968), tackle Don Coleman (1975), linebacker George Webster (1987), defensive end Bubba Smith (1988), safety Brad Van Pelt (2001), wide receiver Gene Washington (2011) and linebacker Percy Snow (2013). As MSU’s latest inductee into the College Football Hall of Fame, Jones’ name will be added to Spartan Stadium’s “Ring of Fame” at the Sept. 12 game against Oregon. 2014 SPARTANS OF THE WEEK – Opponent Offense Jacksonville State Connor Cook @ Oregon -Eastern Michigan Delton Williams Wyoming Jeremy Langford Nebraska Tony Lippett @ Purdue Jack Conklin @ Indiana Macgarrett Kings Jr. Michigan Offensive Line Ohio State -@ Maryland Keith Mumphery Rutgers Keith Mumphery @ Penn State Jack Allen

KEY STAT • Tony Lippett recorded a career-high 167 receiving yards on just four catches (41.8 avg.). He had touchdown catches of 71 and 64 yards.

KEY PLAY • On MSU’s first series of the game, Connor Cook completed a 64-yard touchdown pass to Tony Lippett, giving the Spartans their first touchdown of the season on just their fourth play from scrimmage.

QUOTABLE “I thought we made a statement. We wanted to make sure that we weren’t flat coming out and I don’t think we were, other than the first play of the game. We played very crisp ... I think we came out and did what we needed to do. We played a dominant football game and we will now move on to the next one.” - MSU head coach Mark Dantonio

KEY NOTE • MSU head coach Mark Dantonio impoved to 8-0 in home openers.

RECAP EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Connor Cook threw a long touchdown pass for Michigan State’s first points of the season - and coach Mark Dantonio’s immediate reaction was concern. That’s because Cook needed to be helped off the field after a late hit to his left leg. Cook shook off that early scare to finish with three touchdown passes, and No. 8 Michigan State rolled to an easy 45-7 victory over Jacksonville State. Cook completed his first nine passes in a nearly flawless performance. He sat out the second half after going 12 of 13 for 285 yards. The Spartans led 38-0 at halftime, and when Jacksonville State finally scored early in the third quarter, it was the first touchdown Michigan State had allowed at home since Oct. 12 - a span of 215 minutes, 40 seconds.

SCORING SUMMARY

WHAT HAPPENED • Michigan State scored 24 points in the second quarter and led midway through the third quarter, 27-18, but Oregon rattled off 28 unanswered points to snap the Spartans’ 11-game winning streak, 46-27.

KEY STAT • The Ducks had 12 explosive plays (20 yards or more) in the game (offense/defense/ special teams), including a 70-yard TD pass from Marcus Mariota to Devon Allen in the second quarter.

KEY PLAY • With MSU leading 27-18 midway through the third quarter and Oregon facing a thirdand-10 on its own 41-yard line, Marcus Mariota escaped three Michigan State tacklers in the backfield, scrambled, and pitched a shovel pass to Royce Freeman for a 17-yard gain and a first down. The Ducks scored a touchdown later in the drive and proceeded to score 28 unanswered points.

QUOTABLE “We gave up too many big plays and too many explosive plays, but that’s Oregon and we understood that coming into this...When you end up minus-two in the turnover column it’s tough to win and in both of those cases they led to scores. The last one took away our points and the first score that they got came off of a turnover...We’ll bounce back. There is no question that we’ll bounce back.” - MSU head coach Mark Dantonio

KEY NOTE • Marcus Mariota became the first quarterback since Sept. 18, 2010, to throw for more than 300 yards (318) against the Spartan defense.

RECAP EUGENE, Ore. (AP) - Connor Cook threw for a career-high 343 yards and two touchdowns in a 46-27 loss at No. 3 Oregon. Michigan State took a 24-18 lead with 18 seconds to go in the first half when Josiah Price leaped to grab Cook’s 7-yard TD pass into the end zone. Michigan State padded its lead to 27-18 with Geiger’s 42-year-old field goal in the third quarter, but Oregon rallied to score four touchdowns in the game’s final 20 minutes to pull away with the 46-27 victory.

SCORING SUMMARY

WHAT HAPPENED • Michigan State scored a touchdown on all six of its first-half possessions to build a 42-14 halftime lead en route to a 56-14 victory over Wyoming.

KEY STAT • Michigan State rushed 52 times for 338 yards and five touchdowns against Wyoming. In the 73-14 victory over Eastern Michigan, the Spartans carried 60 times for 336 yards and seven TDs. It marked the first time MSU recorded back-to-back 300-yard rushing games since 2004 (52 rushes for 324 yards and 3 TDs vs. Minnesota; and 57 carries for 368 yards and 4 TDs at Michigan).

KEY PLAY • After Wyoming trimmed MSU’s lead to 14-7 with 2:40 left in the first quarter, the Spartans quickly answered with a three-play, 59-yard touchdown drive to go back up 21-7, capped by a 33-yard run by Keith Mumphery for his first-career rushing TD.

QUOTABLE “We have never exploded like this out of the gate with our offense. It is a great advantage when you are not turning over the ball, and when you can run and throw it. We have good receivers, and I have said that all along. We have been impressed with our offensive practices and habits, and we’ve really said that since spring.” - MSU head coach Mark Dantonio

KEY NOTE • Michigan State scored 50 points in back-to-back games for the first time since 1978.

RECAP EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Michigan State’s record-setting offense didn’t score 73 points again, but it looked like it might in its final Big Ten tuneup. The No. 9 Spartans settled for a 56-14 rout of Wyoming, completing their most explosive first four games in school history with a 50.3-point average. Jeremy Langford rushed for 137 of the Spartans’ 533 total yards, and Connor Cook was 6-for-8 through the air for 109 yards and two touchdowns. Tony Lippett had four catches for 76 yards and a touchdown, and Keith Mumphery scored on a run and a reception vs. the Cowboys. Wyoming finished with 286 yards of offense but lost the ball on two fumbles and an interception, three mistakes too many against a team that is averaging nearly a point per minute at home.

WHAT HAPPENED

SCORING SUMMARY

• Michigan State led 27-3 after three quarters, but Nebraska scored 19 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to cut the lead to 27-22 and had the ball for one last drive with 1:07 remaining. The Huskers drove the ball to the MSU 37-yard line, but Trae Waynes picked off a Tommy Armstrong Jr. pass with 30 seconds left to seal the win for the Spartans.

KEY STAT • Nebraska entered the game ranked No. 2 in the FBS in rushing (354.8 ypg.), but was held to 47 rushing yards on 37 carries, its lowest single-game output since 2007. In addition, Ameer Abdullah, the second-leading rusher in the FBS (166.6 ypg.), was limited to 45 yards on the ground on 24 attempts.

KEY PLAY • With Michigan State leading 27-22 with 30 seconds left, Trae Waynes recorded his second interception of the game, picking off a Tommy Armstrong Jr. pass at the MSU 17-yard line that iced the game for the Spartans.

QUOTABLE “Things can turn very, very quickly as you saw tonight. First of all, I’m proud of our football team. We started well and played a tremendous football game, especially on defense for three and a half quarters. Then Nebraska caught fire a little bit and we had a missed interception. Next thing you know, they return a punt and you find yourself in a game. It is good that you have a close game. I don’t like them, but it’s good to have a close game and win it in the end.” - MSU head coach Mark Dantonio

KEY NOTE • Michigan State recorded its second straight win over Nebraska after dropping the first seven meetings. The Spartans are now 2-2 against the Huskers in Big Ten games.

RECAP EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) - On a day when so many top teams lost in wild fashion, Michigan State narrowly avoided a breathtaking collapse. Trae Waynes intercepted Tommy Armstrong’s pass with 30 seconds remaining, and the 10th-ranked Spartans held off 19th-ranked Nebraska 27-22 on Saturday night. The Cornhuskers were down 27-3 before scoring three touchdowns in the fourth quarter and driving into Michigan State territory in the final minute. The Spartans shut down Nebraska’s vaunted running game, and the Cornhuskers didn’t score in the first half despite three Michigan State turnovers in its own territory. Tony Lippett caught a 55-yard touchdown pass from Connor Cook in the first quarter, and when Lippett scored on a 32-yard reverse, Michigan State was up 27-3 with 2:02 remaining in the third.

SCORING SUMMARY

WHAT HAPPENED • Michigan State collected 532 yards of total offense, including 294 rushing yards, to defeat Purdue for the third straight time at Ross-Ade Stadium and for the sixth consecutive time in the series.

KEY STAT • Jeremy Langford paced the Spartan running game that averaged 6.8 yards per carry (43 attempts for 294 yards) vs. Purdue. Langford had 104 rushing yards on just 13 attempts (8.0 avg.) against the Boilermakers to record his 11th straight 100-yard rushing game against a Big Ten opponent. Michigan State improved to 24-3 under Coach Dantonio while gaining more than 200 yards rushing.

KEY PLAY • With Michigan State leading 38-31 and Purdue facing a third-and-8 from its own 22-yard line with 1:29 left in the game, Ed Davis and Shilique Calhoun applied pressure to Boilermaker quarterback Austin Appleby, forcing an errant pass that Darien Harris intercepted and returned 15 yards for the touchdown.

QUOTABLE “We never lose hope and always have faith in what we’re doing and how we’re doing it. And, it comes down to the final two minutes again and you finish the game on defense. The reason we play the game is to get to those situations where, when the game’s on the line, what are you going to do? Our guys showed great character again while fighting through that adversity. It certainly gave us confidence after doing it last week to be able to do it again today.” -MSU assistant head coach/defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi

KEY NOTE • Michigan State scored at least 45 points for the fourth time in six games; it marked only the second time in school history the Spartans have scored at least 45 points four times in the first six games of the season (1912).

RECAP WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) - Connor Cook threw three touchdown passes and Nick Hill ran for two scores, but No. 8 Michigan State still needed a late interception return for a touchdown to hold on 45-31 at Purdue. The Boilermakers got the ball back at its own 5-yard line with 2:57 to go and a chance to force overtime, but Darien Harris picked off an Austin Appleby pass and ran it back 15 yards to seal the win. Michigan State’s offense certainly did its part. It amassed 532 total yards, had 17 plays of 10 or more yards, scored five touchdowns and didn’t punt until there was 1:10 to go in the third quarter. When Purdue closed to 24-17 at halftime, the Spartans responded with touchdowns on their next two drives - getting a terrific toe tap in the back of the end zone for a 13-yard TD catch by Aaron Burbridge. Hill followed that with a 4-yard TD run to make it 38-17.

2014 GAME RECAPS GAME 7 • NO. 8/6 MICHIGAN STATE 56, INDIANA 17 Game 7 | Michigan State 56, Indiana 17 Oct. 18, 2014 • Bloomington, Ind. Memorial Stadium • Att: 44,403 WHAT HAPPENED • In Mark Dantonio’s 100th game as head coach at Michigan State, the Spartans dominated Indiana, 56-17, behind 662 yards of total offense, the fourth-highest output in school history. After trailing 17-14 in the second quarter, MSU scored 42 unanswered points to cruise to the 39-point win. It marked Dantonio’s 70th win at MSU, tying him for second most in school history.

KEY STAT • Michigan State held Indiana to 11 yards passing, the fewest allowed in the Mark Dantonio era.

KEY PLAY • After Indiana scored a touchdown to go up 17-14 with 5:25 left in the first half, MSU faced a second-and-10 on its own 25-yard line when Connor Cook floated a pass just over the Indiana defender and into the hands of tight end Josiah Price, who raced down the sideline 67 yards to the IU 8-yard line. The play set up Jeremy Langford’s 8-yard TD run that gave MSU the lead for good and provided the spark for MSU’s 42-0 run to end the game.

QUOTABLE “As far as the 70th victory, it represents so much to our football team because it represents longevity, which had not been here since Coach (George) Perles had come back in the 80s. From the first guy that made the decision to come to Michigan State in 2007, that includes the guys who decided to stay in 2007 when we came, and that encompasses the guys who came this year, the last guy that signed. It’s a group effort, and I appreciate the coaches staying, they’ve all had opportunities to leave. Our administration, the backing they have given us, our athletic director, president, board of trustees, and Spartan fans in general.” -Head coach Mark Dantonio after coaching in his 100th game at MSU

KEY NOTE • Michigan State tied a school record with its eighth straight Big Ten road win.

RECAP BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) - Connor Cook threw three touchdown passes, Jeremy Langford ran for three more scores and the defense pitched a second-half shutout as the Spartans routed Indiana 56-17. Cook went 24-of-32 for 332 yards with one interception. Langford ran for 109 yards and three scores, while Nick Hill finished with 178 yards, including a 76-yard TD run with 1:24 left in the game.

WHAT HAPPENED

SCORING SUMMARY

• Michigan State defeated Michigan for the sixth time in seven games with a 35-11 victory over the Wolverines in Spartan Stadium. It also marked the fourth straight win for MSU over Michigan in Spartan Stadium, extending a school record.

KEY STAT • With MSU’s 219-61 rushing advantage, the team with the most productive run ground attack has won 42 of the last 45 games in the MSU-UM series. Since Mark Dantonio’s arrival to MSU in 2007, the Spartans have outrushed the Wolverines by 858 yards (1,490-632).

KEY PLAY • With Michigan State leading 14-3 midway through the third quarter, RJ Williamson intercepted a Devin Gardner pass and ran it back 29 yards for the touchdown to give MSU a 21-3 lead.

QUOTABLE “I just thought our guys played extremely focused. We wanted to make sure that we measured up. We understood all week that just because we’ve won in the past does not mean we are going to be entitled. We wanted to stay confident and grounded in what we were doing and focus on the task at hand. I thought we were able to do that.” - MSU head coach Mark Dantonio

KEY NOTE • The 24-point win over Michigan was MSU’s largest win over the Wolverines since 1967 (won 34-0), and the 35 points were the most for MSU against Michigan in Spartan Stadium and tied for the second most in series history for the Spartans.

RECAP EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) - The eighth-ranked Spartans trounced Michigan, 35-11, for their sixth victory in the past seven games against the Wolverines. Jeremy Langford ran for 177 yards and three touchdowns for the Spartans, who outgained Michigan 446-186 and won their 14th straight game against a Big Ten opponent. This one was extra special, of course. The only other time Michigan State has won six of seven over the Wolverines was between 1956-62. This series hasn’t been particularly competitive lately. Michigan State held the Wolverines to minus-48 yards rushing last year in a 29-6 victory, and Michigan was shut down again Saturday. Langford scored a pair of short touchdowns in the first half to give Michigan State a 14-3 lead. Then RJ Williamson scored on a 29-yard interception return in the third, and Cook threw a 70-yard touchdown pass to Tony Lippett later that quarter. Michigan finally reached the end zone on De’Veon Smith’s 1-yard touchdown run with 3:40 remaining in the fourth. That was the first touchdown Michigan State had allowed to the Wolverines since 2011.

Spartan Stadium • Att: 76,306 WHAT HAPPENED • Ohio State racked up 568 total yards of offense to snap MSU’s 13-game winning streak in Big Ten play with a 49-37 victory over the Spartans.

KEY STAT • After missing a field goal on their first possession, the Buckeyes scored touchdowns on seven of their next eight drives. The 49 points allowed by MSU equaled the most given up by a Dantonio-coached team at MSU.

KEY PLAY • After Michigan State missed a 39-yard field goal that would’ve given the Spartans a 10-point lead at 24-14 late in the second quarter, J.T. Barrett connected on a 79-yard touchdown pass to Michael Thomas on the very next play that tied the score at 21. MSU would not hold the lead again in the game.

QUOTABLE “The bottom line was we didn’t stop them, we couldn’t stop them...(It was a) great stage, great environment, great fans, everything you want in a college football game. I thought it was a great game. But at the end of the day we got beat and that’s what life is. So we regroup, we move forward, and that’s what we have always done.” - MSU head coach Mark Dantonio

KEY NOTE • Connor Cook passed for a career-high 358 yards and tied a school record by throwing a touchdown pass in his 16th consecutive game.

RECAP EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio lamented a missed opportunity in the second quarter, when his team recovered a fumble in Ohio State territory but came away with no points after a penalty and a missed field goal. The way the Buckeyes were moving the ball, it might not have mattered. J.T. Barrett threw for three touchdowns and ran for two more in a sensational performance, as No. 13 Ohio State beat the seventh-ranked Spartans 49-37. Barrett, who became the starting quarterback for the Buckeyes before the season because Braxton Miller needed shoulder surgery, went 16 of 26 for 300 yards. Ohio State’s first drive ended in a missed field goal, and another early possession fell apart because of penalties. Aside from that, the Buckeyes scored a touchdown every time they had the ball until they punted in the final minute. Jeremy Langford ran for 137 yards and three touchdowns for Michigan State, and Connor Cook threw for 358 yards and two TDs.

WHAT HAPPENED

SCORING SUMMARY

• In the first meeting between the two schools since 1950, Michigan State defeated Maryland, 37-15, to win its school-record ninth straight Big Ten road game.

KEY STAT • Michigan State tied a school record by holding Maryland to zero rushing first downs. It marked the seventh time MSU had held an opponent without a rushing first down, including the fourth time under Mark Dantonio (2013 vs. Iowa; 2012 vs. Minnesota; 2011 vs. Florida Atlantic). Overall, the Spartans limited Maryland to 6 yards rushing, the fewest by a Spartan opponent this season.

KEY PLAY • With MSU leading 16-7 late in the third quarter, Taiwan Jones deflected a pass from Maryland quarterback C.J. Brown, and RJ Williamson picked off the pass and ran it back 22 yards for the touchdown to put the Spartans on top, 23-7. It marked Williamson’s second interception return for a touchdown in 2014 (29 yards vs. Michigan).

QUOTABLE “Anytime you have a difficult outing, to come back and play extremely well reaffirms your credibility as a football player and as a football unit. That’s what we wanted to do, and I think we were able to do that. We sort of returned to who we are this week.” - MSU head coach Mark Dantonio

KEY NOTE • Marcus Rush set MSU’s all-time starts record with the 50th of his career against Maryland (previous record holders: LB Eric Gordon and OG Joel Foreman with 49). Rush tied a career high with two sacks against the Terrapins.

RECAP COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) - All week long, Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio expressed confidence his team would bounce back after a disheartening loss to Ohio State. In truth, Dantonio wasn’t really sure how the 12th-ranked Spartans would perform against Maryland. As it turned out, he shouldn’t have worried at all. Jeremy Langford ran for 138 yards and two touchdowns, and Michigan State received a strong performance from its defense in a 37-15 victory over Maryland. One week after losing to Ohio State, the Spartans picked off three passes, allowed only 6 yards rushing and sacked Maryland quarterback C.J. Brown three times. Langford’s second touchdown made it 30-7 with 7:06 left, and a touchdown run by Nick Hill with 3:15 to go enabled Michigan State to set a school record for points in a season (438).

WHAT HAPPENED

SCORING SUMMARY

• Michigan State finished its home season with a convincing 45-3 win over Rutgers as 18 Spartans played their final home game in Spartan Stadium on Senior Day.

KEY STAT • With 520 total yards vs. Rutgers, Michigan State set the single-season record for total offense with 5,660 yards.

KEY PLAY • With Michigan State leading 14-0 early in the second quarter, Jeremy Langford all but put the game away with his second touchdown run of the game on a 38-yard score down the right sideline with 12:12 left in the first half that made it 21-0 in favor of the Spartans.

QUOTABLE ”You have seen guys come in at 18 years old and go from a red-shirt freshman, which a lot of guys here have done, to the disappointment, sacrifice, determination, celebrations, starting and doing all of the different things. If you have guys with you for five years, I think you can get every element of human development. So we see our guys leave five years later with their degrees in hand. A lot of our guys have graduated or will graduate in December, and are walking out as men. It is very emotional because you are attached to guys like Travis Jackson, Tony Lippett, and Jeremy Langford. You could just name them all. You get very attached to them and their families. It was great to have them and their families here today to be a part of it.” - MSU head coach Mark Dantonio

KEY NOTE • Michigan State’s senior class was honored before the game, and the 18-member class of 2014 became just the second Spartan senior class to win 40 games.

RECAP EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Jeremy Langford and Tony Lippett have seen it all. The super-resilient “L & L Men” celebrated Senior Day in style as Michigan State smashed Rutgers 45-3. Langford, who played cornerback and wide receiver before returning to running back, rushed for 126 yards and two touchdowns. Lippett, another fifth-year player who switched positions multiple times, had five catches for 72 yards and his 10th score this season. He became the eighth receiver in school history to pass the 1,000-yard mark and also played well in a surprising stint at cornerback. The Spartans scored on five of their first six possessions and finished with a 520-234 edge in total offense, including 254 through the air from Connor Cook.

WHAT HAPPENED

SCORING SUMMARY

• Michigan State recorded its fourth double-digit win season in the last five years with a 34-10 win at Penn State. The 24-point win was MSU’s largest margin of victory ever at Beaver Stadium.

KEY STAT • Michigan State held Penn State to 38 yards rushing, marking the eighth time in the regular season the Spartans held their opponent to under 100 yards on the ground.

KEY PLAY • On the first play of the game, R.J. Shelton fielded the opening kickoff on a bounce, then ran it back 90 yards for his first career touchdown on a kick return to give MSU a quick 7-0 lead. It was the only touchdown of the first half for either team.

QUOTABLE “I thought that was a tremendous job by our football team today. The benchmark has become 10 wins at Michigan State; (we’ve done that) four out of the last five years, so a tremendous accomplishment by them. Nothing was easy - I think Penn State played extremely hard and it is a great environment here. We came here thinking we’ve got to get 10 and that’s what we got, so there’s a lot of people involved in that.” - MSU head coach Mark Dantonio

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. (AP) - R.J. Shelton’s one-handed grab off a squib kick led to his right arm raised in triumph in the end zone. Shelton needed all of 14 seconds to douse the enthusiasm of the emotional senior day festivities at Beaver Stadium when he returned the opening kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown. His next return should come on a larger stage - Michigan State again proved its good enough to land a New Year’s Bowl invitation. Jeremy Langford ran for 118 yards and two scores to help the 10th-ranked Spartans warm up for a bowl game with a 34-10 win over Penn State. Connor Cook threw a 10-yard TD pass and Langford chipped in with a 3-yard score in the third quarter to methodically put the game away. Michael Geiger kicked field goals of 36 and 39 yards in the first quarter for a 13-0 lead. The Spartans kept up the pressure against Hackenberg in the third, forcing a fumble off a sack. Michigan State recovered at Penn State’s 18 and needed only four plays for Cook to hit Tony Lippett for a 10-yard TD and a 27-3 lead.

2015 MICHIGAN STATE SPRING FOOTBALL • MSUSPARTANS.COM • @MSU_FOOTBALL

COACHING STAFF Mark Dantonio enters his ninth season at Michigan State as one of the most accomplished head coaches in the school’s storied history, leading a program that has transformed itself into one of the nation’s perennial powers. MARK DANTONIO HEAD COACH NINTH SEASON

Under Dantonio’s direction, the Spartans have posted four 11-win seasons in the past five years, a feat accomplished by just two other coaches in Big Ten history (Fielding Yost, Michigan; Jim Tressel, Ohio State). Since the beginning of the decade, Michigan State has won 53 games - most in the Big Ten Conference and seventh most among NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision Schools. It’s also the winningest fiveyear stretch in school history. During that span, MSU has claimed two Big Ten Championships (2010, 2013), two Big Ten Division titles (2011, 2013) and recorded a school-record four consecutive bowl victories (2012 Outback against No. 18 Georgia, 2012 Buffalo Wild Wings against TCU, 2014 Rose Bowl Game against No. 5 Stanford, 2015 Cotton Bowl Classic against No. 4 Baylor), which also ties a Big Ten record. In the past two seasons alone, the Spartans have collected a 24-3 record - tied for the third-most wins among FBS schools and the most ever in a two-year span at MSU - and are the only program in the nation to win a Bowl Championship Series game during the 2013 season (Rose Bowl Game over No. 5 Stanford) and a New Year’s Six Game last season (Cotton Bowl Classic over No. 4 Baylor). That success has propelled Michigan State to back-to-back top-five finishes in the national polls (No. 3 in 2013, No. 5 in 2014), a first for the program since 1965-66. A Zanesville, Ohio, native with Midwest ties, Dantonio has 35 years of collegiate coaching experience, including 11 as a head coach and 13 in East Lansing (served as the Spartan secondary coach from 19952000). The 59-year-old Dantonio owns a 75-31 record (.708) at Michigan State since his arrival in 2007, and already ranks among MSU’s all-time leaders in career wins (second) and winning percentage (fourth). He is the only coach in MSU history to lead multiple teams to

double-digit win seasons (11 in 2010 and 2011; schoolrecord 13 in 2013; 11 in 2014). Dantonio also ranks first in school history in bowl appearances (school-record eight in a row and counting), bowl wins (four) and conference winning percentage (.703, 45-19 record, minimum 10 games). He won his 71st game at MSU on Oct. 25, 2014, against Michigan to become MSU’s second all-time winningest coach (record: Duffy Daugherty, 109). The Spartans extended their school record by playing in a bowl game for the eighth consecutive season in 2014 with a berth in the 2015 Cotton Bowl Classic against Baylor. Dantonio has coached in 19 bowl games during his career, including five in a traditional New Year’s Day game as head coach at MSU (2009 Capital One Bowl, 2011 Capital One Bowl, 2012 Outback Bowl, 2014 Rose Bowl, 2015 Cotton Bowl). Dantonio’s eight-game bowl streak at Michigan State is tied for the seventh longest by an active head coach at the same school and is the longest in the Big Ten. Dantonio is one of just four Spartan head coaches to coach in at least 100 games at MSU (Duffy Daugherty: 183; George Perles: 139; Charlie Bachman: 114; Dantonio: 106). In addition, he is one of just six active coaches in the NCAA FBS to own at least a .700 winning percentage in at least 100 games at the same school (Les Miles, LSU; Gary Patterson, TCU: Nick Saban, Alabama; Bob Stoops, Oklahoma; Mark Richt, Georgia). Dantonio is the third-longest tenured coach in the Big Ten and 16th longest in the FBS. A two-time Big Ten Coach of the Year (2010, 2013), Dantonio has led Michigan State to Top 25 finishes five times in his tenure (2008: No. 24 both polls; 2010: No. 14 both polls; 2011: No. 10 USA TODAY/No. 11 AP; 2013: No. 3 both polls; 2014 No. 5 in both polls). The Spartans have posted five consecutive winning seasons, a first for the program since recording six in a row from 1985-90. In addition, Michigan State has recorded 42 Big Ten regular-season victories since 2008, the most of any team in the conference. Since 2007, Dantonio has helped produce nine firstteam All-Americans (2008: RB Javon Ringer; 2009-10: LB Greg Jones; 2011: DT Jerel Worthy; 2012: Le’Veon Bell; 2013: CB Darqueze Dennard and P Mike Sadler; 2014: C Jack Allen and S Kurtis Drummond) and 17 NFL Draft picks, including six in 2012. Dennard was a 2013 unanimous All-America selection and also won

the Jim Thorpe Award, which is given annually to the nation’s best defensive back. He was selected in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft (No. 24 overall) by the Cincinnati Bengals to become the first Spartan under Dantonio to be chosen in the first round. 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 eight seasons, a total of 128 players have earned their undergraduate degrees. In addition, 98 Spartans have earned Academic All-Big Ten honors, including seven Academic All-Americans (Blair White, 2009 second team; Mike Sadler, 2014 first team, 2013 first team, 2012 second team, 2011 second team; Max Bullough, 2013 first team, 2012 second team). Michigan State has placed three student-athletes in the National Football Foundation Scholar-Athlete Class (Kirk Cousins in 2011; Bullough in 2013; Sadler in 2014) in the past four years, equaling Duke for the most of any school in the NCAA FBS. Sadler became MSU’s first four-time Academic All-American and was a finalist for the 2014 William V. Campbell Trophy (nation’s top scholar-athlete). Under Dantonio, Michigan State has produced a 44-12 record (.786) in home games, including a 15-game winning streak (7-0 in 2010, 7-0 in 2011, won first game in 2012) and a 12-game winning streak (7-0 in 2013; won first five in 2014). Known as one of the top defensive minds in the country, Dantonio and his staff have assembled one of the most consistently productive defenses in the FBS, year in and year out. The Spartans are the only team to rank in the NCAA FBS Top 10 in total defense the past four seasons (No. 6 in 2011, No. 4 in 2012, No. 2 in 2013, No. 8 in 2014). Stopping the run has been the main theme for MSU, and it led to ranking No. 1 in the NCAA FBS in rushing defense in 2014 (88.5 ypg.). MSU also led the FBS in rushing first downs allowed (67). Since the Big Ten began awarding stat champions in all games in 1985, Michigan State is only the second team in conference history to lead the league in rushing defense four years in a row (Michigan, 1990-93). MSU’s 88.5 rushing yards allowed in 2014 was the eighth-lowest total in school history. Alabama, MSU and Stanford are the only three schools in the FBS to rank in the Top 10 in rushing defense the past four seasons (MSU: No. 9 in 2011, No.

COACHING STAFF 8 in 2012, No. 2 in 2013, No. 1 in 2014). In 106 games under Dantonio, MSU has held its opponents under 100 yards rushing 54 times (51 percent). MSU has also ranked among the NCAA FBS Top 25 the past four seasons in scoring defense (No. 10 in 2011, No. 10 in 2012, No. 2 in 2013, No. 22 in 2014) and pass efficiency defense (No. 18 in 2011, No. 4 in 2012, No. 1 in 2013, No. 21 in 2014). Michigan State, which capped off an 11-2 season with a dramatic comeback win over fourth-ranked Baylor in the 2015 Cotton Bowl Classic, finished the 2014 season ranked No. 5 in the final Associated Press and USA TODAY/Amway Coaches Polls. MSU’s 20-point comeback win over Baylor (trailed 41-21 entering the fourth quarter) in the 2015 Cotton Bowl Classic was the biggest in Spartan postseason history (previous: down 16-0 at halftime to Georgia in the 2012 Outback Bowl). In addition, it marked the second-largest comeback win in Cotton Bowl Classic history (22 points by Notre Dame in 1979; the Irish trailed 34-12 with 7:37 left in the fourth quarter and rallied to defeat Houston, 35-34). The 2014 Spartans featured the most prolific offense in school history to go along with another Top 10 defense. Michigan State set school single-season records for points (559), total offense (6,510 yards; 500.8 yards per game), offensive touchdowns (70), rushing touchdowns (44), scoring average (43.0 points per game), rushing yards (3,057) and first downs (321). MSU ranked second in the Big Ten and seventh in the FBS in scoring, averaging a school-record 43.0 points per game, and also ranked second in the Big Ten and 11th in the FBS in total offense, averaging a program-best 500.8 yards per game. The Spartans were balanced offensively, ranking No. 1 in the Big Ten in passing offense (265.6 ypg.) and fifth in the Big Ten and 19th in the FBS in rushing offense (235.3 ypg.). In addition to leading the FBS in rushing defense (88.5 ypg.) and ranking eighth in total defense (315.8 ypg.), MSU also ranked No. 1 in the nation in time of possession (35:21) and No. 2 in turnover margin (+1.46). Michigan State defeated five bowl-bound teams in 2014, with victories over No. 19 Nebraska, Maryland, Rutgers, Penn State and No. 4 Baylor, and beat Michigan for the sixth time in the past seven seasons. MSU’s only two losses were against the two teams in the inaugural College Football Playoff Championship Game (Oregon and Ohio State). The Spartans continued their impressive run in Big Ten games, finishing 7-1 in conference play and second in the Big Ten East Division; MSU has won 17 of its last 18 games against Big Ten opponents, with 16 of those wins coming by double figures. Five Michigan State players were named to the All-Big Ten First Team and a total of 14 Spartans received allconference recognition. The five first-team selections by the coaches were the most of any school in the conference. Two Spartans took home individual awards, as Drummond was named the Tatum-Woodson Big Ten Defensive Back of the Year, while fifth-year senior Tony Lippett was selected the Richter-Howard Big Ten Receiver of the Year. It marked the second straight year a Spartan has won the Big Ten Defensive Back of the Year Award (Dennard, 2013). Allen, Drummond, Lippett, junior defensive end Shilique Calhoun and junior cornerback Trae Waynes were first-team selections by

both the coaches and media. Michigan State has had two defensive backs on the All-Big Ten First Team each year the past four seasons (Johnny Adams and Trenton Robinson in 2011; Adams and Dennard in 2012; Dennard and Drummond in 2013). Since 2007, MSU head coach Mark Dantonio has helped produce 31 first-team All-Big Ten selections. Michigan State had a record-setting season in 2013, winning a school-record 13 games, defeating No. 5 Stanford in the 100th Rose Bowl Game, beating No. 2 Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship Game for the school’s eighth Big Ten title, and finishing 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 13 games in a season. 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. He 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, CollegeFootballNews.com, and the Touchdown Club of Columbus. For leading the Spartans to their record-breaking season, Dantonio was honored by The Detroit News as one of 10 Michiganians of the Year in June 2014. Michigan State had the No. 1 defense in the Big Ten for the third straight season in 2013. The Spartans led the NCAA FBS 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 became the first team to rank No. 1 in total defense and rushing defense three years in a row since the Big Ten began awarding 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. 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 332 passing yards and two touchdowns

COACHING STAFF against the Cardinal while being named the Rose Bowl Game’s Offensive MVP. Michigan State was rewarded for winning the 2013 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 Dennard was named the Tatum-Woodson Big Ten Defensive Back of the Year, while 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. Drummond, Sadler and senior safety Isaiah Lewis 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). Michigan State defeated five bowl-bound teams in 2013, including victories over Iowa, Michigan, Nebraska, Minnesota and Ohio State. The win over the second-ranked Buckeyes in the Big Ten Championship Game snapped OSU’s school-record 24-game winning streak. 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 in 2012, including junior running back Le’Veon Bell, who garnered first-team honors after leading the Big Ten and ranking No. 3 in the NCAA FBS in rushing with 137.9 yards per game. In 2011, thanks to its 33-30 triple-overtime victory over No. 18 Georgia in the 2012 Outback Bowl, Michigan State (11-3) 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 single-season record. MSU won the inaugural Big Ten Legends Division title outright with a 7-1 conference record and 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 in 2011, including a victory over the fourth-ranked 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 fourth straight 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 37-21 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), Robinson (San Francisco 49ers, sixth round), B.J. 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 third-biggest turnaround among NCAA FBS 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 2010 regular-season 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 the Badgers their 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 and played on New Year’s Day in the 2011 Capital One Bowl. 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. MSU played in its first New Year’s Day bowl game in nine years by earning a bid to the 2009 Capital One Bowl against Georgia. Michigan State defeated five bowl-bound teams, with victories over Florida Atlantic, Notre Dame, Iowa, Northwestern and Wisconsin, and finished the season ranked No. 24 in both the Associated Press and USA Today Coaches Polls. 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, Florida. Dantonio established himself as one of the nation’s up-and-coming coaches during his three-year tenure at Cincinnati, where he compiled an 18-17 overall record. In 11 seasons as a head coach, Dantonio has collected a 93-48 record (.660), including 10 bowl invitations. He is 5-4 in bowl games (4-4 at Michigan State, 1-0 at Cincinnati; did not coach UC in 2007 International Bowl). Prior to his appointment at Cincinnati, Dantonio served as the defensive coordinator under Jim Tressel at Ohio State for three seasons (2001-03), where his defensive unit helped the Buckeyes to a combined record of 326, including 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. He was promoted to associate head coach in 2000. During his six-year tenure as an assistant, the Spartans compiled a 39-30-1 record. For Dantonio’s complete bio, please visit msuspartans. com.
