Michigan State linebacker Jon Reschke is taking his game to new heights this spring by aiming just a couple feet higher.
Three times during a team scrimmage last week, according to co-defensive coordinator Mike Tressel, Reschke planted his facemask into the chest of an oncoming ball carrier and sent him careening in the other direction.
“A lot of times he does a great job of taking out legs,” Tressel said. “But not very often do you see him put his face right between the numbers and knock people backwards. You saw that over and over in this most recent scrimmage.
