✦ News & notes They Said It "We are going to line up next Saturday against Notre Dame, and we will find out who's who. How that's for a statement?" — Michigan State head coach Mark Dantonio "I think we've got five guys that are very capable of making plays at any point in the game. So that's just a blessing to be one of the guys. I think any one of us is able to finish it out strong, and we're all competitors and we just want to win." — Notre Dame junior running back Cam McDaniel "It happens throughout the season. It's not going to happen on day one, game one. You find out who you are throughout the season, and we took a step forward tonight. We have a long way to go Michigan State head coach Mark Dantonio is preparing still, but we did take a step forward." — his team for another physical showdown with Notre Notre Dame fifth-year senior left tackle Dame.

That can all change this weekend, when a Michigan State team that seems to finally know what it has enters Notre Dame Stadium for the fourth game of the season. … And soon everyone may know just how up to the test this season's group really is." — Matt Fortuna, ESPN.com "There's always going to be something a little bit different for every game, whoever it is. You think about players not plays; you have to get the ball in your players' hands, create balance and test the defense. When you look at a defense, everyone is structured a little bit different. They have different players and different concepts, they use different pressures, and you have to go about attacking those things, so things are going to change somewhat." —Dantonio on his offensive game plan against Notre Dame Reservations Encouraged LUNCH: Sat 11am-4pm DINNER: Mon-Thur 4pm-9:30pm Fri & Sat 4pm-10:30pm "The names of Theismann, Montana and Rice are legendary throughout the Notre Dame football universe. To hear the stories told of their exploits, the former Fighting Irish quarterbacks never made a mistake and they always found a way to win. Perpetually criticized Tommy Rees can only dream of such adulation; this, despite the fact that he is in the process of crushing statistically those aforementioned legends in the Fighting Irish annals." — Tom Davis, Fort Wayne News-Sentinel "This'll be obviously the biggest test. Tommy Rees can throw the ball. He's got some good receivers, too. If Notre Dame can run the ball in this game, the Michigan State defense could be made to look very human this week." — Joe Rexrode, Detroit Free Press • Check Us Out At: tripadvisor • Text Yesterdays at: 72727 For Special Offers • Find Us on Facebook at: Facebook.com/YesterdaysGranger • Find TO L L FREE us in the Best Book ® 12594 SR 23 • Granger www.yesterdays-granger.com ©2012 Studio A Advertising ✦ Page 14
