Containing Michigan tight end Colston Loveland a top priority for Michigan State defense in rivalry clash

Defensively, Michigan State will have its hands full defending the run game against in-state rival Michigan this weekend. And when it comes to defending the pass, the Spartans need to know where tight end Colston Loveland is on every play, given how much Michigan relies on the talented junior. “We’ve got to make sure we do what we need to do to stop him because he is a really good player,” senior linebacker Cal Haladay said. “He has been a really good player and he is going to probably be drafted really early.”
