Dantonio said Tuesday before practice that, to simulate game conditions, he is having co-offensive coordinator Dave Warner call plays with a play clock during portions of practice. Warner and co-offensive coordinator Jim Bollman have replaced Dan Roushar, and Warner will call plays in 2013.

But sophomore Shilique Calhoun took over Gholston’s spot in spring ball and built on brief glimpses last season that indicated he can be a top pass rusher. And sophomore defensive tackle Lawrence Thomas showed in Saturday’s spring game why his move to defensive tackle could be a good one for the MSU defense.

Steven Jackson was asked which running back in this year's draft class reminded him most of himself.His answer: Former Spartan running back Le'Veon Bell. "There's not a lot of big size running backs this year, (except) Le'Veon Bell out of Michigan State," Jackson said. "(He has the) ability to run behind his path and stay in a physical conference like the Big Ten. He would probably be the closest in this draft."
