V-Cast: the latest on defense from Michigan State spring football

SpartanMag.com staffers Jim Comparoni and Paul Konyndyk check in from outside the Tom Izzo Football building after practice and interviews on Tuesday. We discuss the latest developments on defense after speaking with defensive coordinator Joe Rossi, defensive line coach Legi Suiaunoa along with defensive ends Jalen Thompson and Khris Bogle.

I needed a V-Cast like I need air, thanks guys

[@markwebster4996]

Paul is spot on about Smith having the focus on team above the NFL and individual goals

[@jamesbannan702]

The only goal I have is hopeful that the team will qualify for a bowl game. It would be a major step forward in the BIG rebuild process.

Whatever it takes to get 9 wins

@@keithtunstall Cross off Iowa. No one is remotely scared 😂😂, Kirk Ferentz was dominated by Michigan State with an absolutely inferior coaching staff. That offense is going to be horrible again, should’ve fired when they had the chance. Jonathan Smith has beaten Dan Lanning Oregon before, so it’s not like it’s impossible. Michigan I’ll give you because they should still be dominant defensively. Ohio State maybe that but I’m not convinced of that offensive line. And get through that middle 4, they lose the next 4?
