Scottie Hazelton knows what Michigan State football has done historically, and he wants the Spartans to keep doing what they have done best.

“As a football coach you track who's good and who's doing what,” Hazelton said Wednesday. “Michigan State has always been great on defense. And that's one of the things that as you go around and you meet kids and kind of see what their pedigree is and their background, I know that these guys are guys that run to the ball.
