Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio sent a message to his offense at his press conference earlier in the week.
That message seemed well received right from the start of the game as No. 19 Michigan State cruised past Western Michigan on Saturday night at Spartan Stadium.
On the first play of the game, quarterback Brian Lewerke connected with Darrell Stewart for 33 yards and the Spartans marched quickly down the field to take an early 7-0 lead after a five-yard touchdown reception from Matt Dodsen.
