Considered a weakness on defense for Michigan State entering training camp, defensive tackle has been a pleasant surprise since practice being three weeks ago. "We have a bunch of guys that can help us this season,” defensive tackle Legi Suiaunoa said after practice on Thursday. “Usually at this time of camp there is a little bit of separation with the group, but right now I can’t tell you who those guys are that are going to be on the field for the first play of the game.”
