7/17/2019 Meet The Spartans Free FullWhen Mark Dantonio learned Michigan State football would be going to a bowl game named after a movie DVD distribution business, it didn’t matter to him. He even brought up the game the Spartans played in named after chicken wings restaurant in 2012.

When there are 40 bowl games and only two help determine a national champion, the rest are not quite on the same level. And Dantonio and other coaches around the country understand that. It still remains about working to play the best football game possible, one more time.

But I've always looked at the glass at being half-full.” That means going to a bowl game in the San Francisco area for the first time for the Redbox Bowl (3 p.m., Fox) against Oregon, a team that has experienced similar success to MSU over the past decade. More: How Nick Saban's legacy looms over Michigan State-Oregon bowl game The Spartans are 85-33 since 2010 with a 2015 College Football Playoff berth, three Big Ten titles and victories in the Rose Bowl and Cotton Bowl Classic. Oregon is 88-30 in that same time, making it to the 2014 national championship game in the debut season of the CFP. The Ducks also have won two Rose Bowls – one a national semifinal game – and a Fiesta Bowl in that time. More: More Michigan State players to NFL draft? Mark Dantonio won't say First-year Oregon coach Mario Cristobal also has plenty of CFP experience, serving as Nick Saban’s offensive line coach for Alabama’s three appearances between 2014-16 – including a 38-0 win over the Spartans in the 2015 semifinal en route to a Crimson Tide national title. However, Cristobal does not plan to treat the Redbox Bowl any differently. “I think if we played football 365 days a year, everyone would be watching as it is,” he said. “I know it's a four-team playoff, but the way the bowls and particularly the Redbox Bowl have been created, I think there are some incredible football games and some great matchups to be watching. It's going to provide everyone throughout the holiday season some tremendous opportunities to watch great football.” Dantonio believes Oregon will present a challenge to his Spartans that will be a final measuring stick going into the offseason. “While most of the United States of America feels like (the College Football Playoff is) all there is to it, there's a lot of other good football teams out there who are very excited to go play in other venues,” said Dantonio, who is leading MSU to its 11th postseason game in 12 seasons. “I think bowl games are about life experiences and about challenges in trying to move your program forward for the next phase, the next year. Our guys are very excited to come and play.” Chewins honoredMSU junior offensive lineman Cole Chewins received Academic All-America honors for the second straight year. The Clarkston native was named to the second team this year by the College Sports Information Directors of America. He was a first-team selection in 2017. Chewins has a 3.91 grade-point average in finance and will graduate Saturday, then begin his master’s program in finance during the spring semester. It is the ninth time a Spartan has earned Academic All-America honors under Dantonio, with Chewins joining Mike Sadler and Max Bullough as multi-year recipients. Senior Bowl-boundSenior running back LJ Scott announced last week he would not return to MSU next year for a fifth season, but he plans to play in the Redbox Bowl. It won’t be Scott’s last game in a Spartan helmet. He accepted an invitation to play in the Reese’s Senior Bowl on Jan. 26 at Ladd-Peebles Stadium in Mobile, Alabama (2:30 p.m., NFL Network). Scott will be joined in the game by safety Khari Willis, who accepted an invitation late last month. Senior tight end Matt Sokol will play in the East-West Shrine game on Jan. 19 at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida (3 p.m., NFL Network). Contact Chris Solari: [email protected].
