CHICAGO – Michigan State coach Pat Fitzgerald made a strong impression in his first Big Ten Media Days as Spartan football coach. He also touted off-season gains and competitive depth in the Michigan State program ahead of training camp, which starts next Wednesday. Both Sharpe and Fraley are part of large transfer o-line class that Fitzgerald believes Michigan State needed to set a foundation for competitive success. It Factor: Fitzgerald owned the room during Big Ten Media Days and was both charismatic and genuine while speaking at both the dais and during the on-podium portion of Tuesday’s Big Ten Media Days. Fitzgerald brought a level of energy and authenticity that has been lacking around the Spartan football program in recent years.
