I want to take the opportunity to address some of the criticisms that have been made about the Spartan football program this year.There are three specific criticisms I want to address: 1) rumors about substance abuse; 2) rumors about a team that is out of control; 3) our win-loss record.The first of these criticisms is that there is a substance abuse problem on the team.That criticism is untrue.The situation involving one individual player in no way reflects the behavior of the rest of the team.
