EAST LANSING, Mich. - Nearly 70 reporters from around the state of Michigan gathered Monday inside the Izzo Family Media Center at Spartan Stadium for Michigan State Football Media Day.
Ninth-year head coach Mark Dantonio began media day festivities with a 30-minute press conference at the main podium. After Dantonio, reporters talked with defensive players and coaches for 45 minutes, followed by the offensive staff and players.
"I think we're in a good place," said Dantonio. "I think the leadership has been very good early in this camp from our senior group, and that's always extremely important, and I think there's great direction within our program at the ground level, which is, again, that's at the player level. When you have that at the player level, I think that gives you an added advantage, especially in games on the field because players lead on the field. They have to. They have to get it done on the field."
In the morning, the Spartans held their third practice of preseason camp and their first in shells. The team will return to the practice field on Tuesday before putting on the pads for the first time on Wednesday.
