Jonathan Smith wasn't discouraged after Michigan State lost three-straight games. After a big homecoming win over Iowa, it's easy to see why.
"I think it speaks to a little bit that I think we've got some genuine belief in this locker room of the approach and how they're going," Smith said. "You lose three-straight games and then you've got a week to really just think about it. I think it speaks to kind of the culture that these guys — player-led — want to build around here. And they have been bought in and going and still motivated. And I looked at the week of practice, felt the same way. And then again tonight, and I think (Iowa) was a good football team. And so, if you look at these numbers and what we were able to do, I think it speaks a lot to the buy-in and the culture that's player led around here."
