Harlon Barnett met with reporters today moments after giving a pep talk to Kendell Davis-Clark, who badly wants to return to the field but whose shoulder won't let him.

Michigan State is too big in the trenches and could run the ball up to 60 times, based on the vibes I was getting from coach Mark Dantonio earlier this week at his press conference.

Despite the return of key starters, missteps on defense in the first two games have resulted in big gains for the Spartans' opponents. California took advantage in a 38-31 victory.

Adam Decker won the job with his football instincts and size. He'll win the hearts of Michigan State fans if he resumes the Spartans tradition of angry-middle-linebacker play. "Just walking through our building you can see all those guys every day, the Percy Snows and the Dan Basses and other guys like that," Decker said. "It's definitely som
