East Lansing — His offseason Sunday reward helped lead to a rewarding Sunday this past weekend for Jacub Panasiuk.

During his summer of slimming down, the Michigan State junior defensive end allowed himself a cheat day on Sundays at Chipotle, still staying away from the high-carb ingredients at the eatery.

More than 10 dropped pounds later — about 35 pounds down from when he arrived in East Lansing as a freshman — Panasiuk feels like a new man for the Spartans, who will host Western Michigan on Saturday.
