You can expect Michigan State to be good on defense again, but how good?
The entire Mark Dantonio era has been built on the backbone of good defense and last year was no different for the Spartans. The program did lose long-time defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi as he decided to voluntarily become the head coach at Pitt, yet Michigan State's defense kept rolling in 2015.
Starters Returning: 6/11
Key Losses: DE Shilique Calhoun, DE Lawrence Thomas, DE Montez Sweat, DT Joel Heath, DT Craig Evans, LB Darien Harris, CB Arjen Colquhoun, S R.
