EAST LANSING — Jonathan Smith put the onus on his staff, his players, and particularly on himself:
Michigan State football must proceed with urgency, not panic.
“One has control and one doesn’t. One is very volatile and one isn’t,” defensive end and captain Quindarius Dunningan said Wednesday, Oct. 15. “So being able to be urgent, you understand that there are different factors that play into you getting your job done and you have to do it now, you can’t wait until later. And then panic, you’re just kind of flailing. There’s no understanding of what I need to get done, I just need to do something. And that could either be a bad thing or a good thing.
