Coaching Staff COACHING STAFF MARK DANTONIO HEAD COACH SEVENTH SEASON @DANTONIOMARK Mark Dantonio, who is in his seventh season as head coach at Michigan State, has restored the pride and tradi- tion of Spartan football while transforming the program into an annual Big Ten Championship contender. A Zanesville, Ohio, native with Midwest ties, Dantonio has led Michigan State this season to a school-record 12 victories, the Big Ten Championship, and a trip to the Rose Bowl for the fi rst time since 1988. After lead- ing the Spartans to their second Big Ten Legends Di- vision title in three years, Dantonio guided MSU past previously undefeated and second-ranked Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship Game, 34-24, to win the school’s eighth Big Ten Championship and clinch the fi rst BCS Bowl bid in program history. Bowl eligible for a school-record seventh consecutive season, the Spartans fi nished fourth in the fi nal Bowl Championship Series standings, marking the highest BCS ranking in school history.

The conference is again filled with dynamic offenses. This season as a whole, there are plenty of solid teams, but Oklahoma and Texas look to reign supreme. Oklahoma Sooners: The Oklahoma Sooners were blown out in their season finale against Texas A&M in the Cotton Bowl last season. With quarterback Landry Jones in the NFL, the quarterback position is wide open between junior Blake Bell, sophomore Kendal Thompson and freshman Trevor Knight. Bell is projected as the starter, but it is unknown what he can bring to the Sooners passing game. In two seasons, Bell was the Sooners goal line specialist and scored 24 career rushing touchdowns. However, he has not thrown for a touchdown. Running back Damien Williams brings experience to the backfield. Williams finished with 976 yards and 11 touchdowns. The Sooners return seven players to its offense, but the defense only brings back four to its unit. The defensive secondary needs a lot of holes to be filled as only junior cornerback Aaron Colvin comes back. Players to watch on offense: QB Blake Bell and RB Damien Williams Players to watch on defense: CB Aaron Colvin and DE Chuka Ndulue 4 Texas Longhorns: To Longhorn fans, last year’s 9-4 record was an ok season, but not a good or great season as it would be for many programs.
