2. Explosive offensive plays

It has been echoed by just about everyone involved with the offense. The changes will be evident this spring, they say. Darrell Stewart Jr. admitted that people will be shocked at just how much the offense has changed and improved and Mark Dantonio stated that there have been far more explosive plays this spring than all of last year.

Encouraging doesn’t even begin to describe those statements, but there’s a ‘see it to believe it’ sentiment coming from the fan base.

Dantonio said that he won’t show too much in the spring game, however. That doesn’t mean the offense has to be completely stagnant, though. The team can still run a strong offensive attack under new offensive coordinator, and former quarterbacks coach, Brad Salem.

Will there be more explosive offensive plays in both the run and pass games? Will we see an aerial attack worth talking about or a run game worth game-planning for?

All are good questions and should receive answers on Saturday afternoon in East Lansing.
