Defense picks up where it left off in annual Spring Game
The score might have been 14-2 in favor of the White team, but the real winner of the MSU football team’s Spring Game was the defense. With a young offense and an even more inexperienced quarterback substituting in, there was no question that the team with the stronger defense would be victorious, and with such a low scoring game, defense was dominant on both teams. “We stepped up; we (rose) to the challenge,” said junior linebacker Denicos Allen, who played for the White team.
As juniors, Bullough, Lewis step into leadership roles on MSU’s defense
When Max Bullough earned his starting position at middle linebacker in 2011, he immediately became a leader on the MSU football team, especially within the Spartan defense. But with several key leaders graduating following last season, the junior linebacker embraces his leadership role in a new way for 2012.
Cook to step in for Maxwell in Spring Game; Drummond winning safety position battle
Despite Saturday being the MSU football team’s final scrimmage of the spring before training camp in August, Andrew Maxwell will have to sit this one out.

Andrus invited to wrestling Olympic Team Trials

Treadwell adjusting well to new position, noticeably improving
Blake Treadwell knows both sides of the line better than most — probably because he’s played three positions in four years for the MSU football team. Starting his Spartan career at defensive tackle, the now-junior made the switch from a defensive lineman to an offensive lineman during spring football last year and started at center in MSU’s first three games in 2011.
