Dantonio on getting physical in the trenches

"When you look at our team right now, maybe this is the first time since I've been there I can point to and say defensively up front we're solid," Dantonio said. "Jerel Worthy anchors that. He should be a phenomenal player. You build around him. (Anthony) Rashad White, (William) Gholston, Tyler Hoover is up to 290 pounds. We have physical guys that can play that level up front.

"Offensively we're inexperienced, but we've moved players over. We have numbers on the offensive line and more guys who bench press 400 pounds and vertical jump 30 inches than we've ever had across the board. All they need is experience. They're extremely athletic. You combine that with an outstanding group of running backs and the ability to throw the football as we continue to do, I think you have an offense that can be very, very good."
