This isn’t your older brother’s Michigan State football team -- unless he’s old enough to have been around in the Duffy Daugherty era. Out are Charles Rogers’ work habits, Jeff Smoker’s drug habits and “eccentric” coaches. In, solid Midwestern boys with the mores inherent to them, and old school, conservative football. The Spartans under Dantonio appear more disciplined and mentally tough than the John L. Smith and Bobby Williams teams. Those squads wouldn’t have had an Adam Decker stepping up to make a game-saving tackle like he did two weeks ago against Iowa, or a collective blowout of a previously unbeaten Northwestern team on the road like it did last week. After the win in Evanston, Dantonio acknowledged that for MSU, the key to success is found above the shoulder pads.
