With spring practice officially underway in the Big Ten, we’re taking a look at each Big Ten program, using recent performance, win-loss trends, coaching, and current and future personnel as indicators. The series will cover the East Division this week.
Next up, the defending division and Big Ten champions, the Michigan State Spartans.
2015 record: 12-2 (7-1 Big Ten)
Three-year record: 36-5
Coaching situation: As stable as it gets. Mark Dantonio enters his 10th season at the helm in East Lansing, and he finally has received some much overdue national respect as one of the best coaches in the game.
