REACTION: Michigan State HC Jonathan Smith 'not pressing huge panic button, but ...'

EAST LANSING, Mich. - Michigan State head coach Jonathan Smith didn’t need to wait for questions during his postgame press conference after Saturday’s disturbing 38-13 loss to UCLA. “I’ll start with just not good enough,” Smith said. “Starting with myself, I think about the staff as we were responsible.” Smith was urgent and slightly exasperated after last week’s loss at Nebraska. This week, the level of frustration ramped up a few degrees, and for good reason. “I told the locker room, we lost a bunch of one-on-ones,” Smith said. “We’ve got to work to fix some things that we can fix, but we’ve got to be able to play in a manner that we win way more one-on-ones than we did today.” (MORE inside SpartanMag.
