The full pads were on for the first time on Monday, as Michigan State enters its second week of fall camp.
Due to the rain, Michigan State head coach Jonathan Smith and the Spartans had its practice on Monday indoors.
Smith was impressed with the energy he saw from his team with heavy contact allowed in some periods.
"First day in full pads today, I was really pleased with the physicality," Smith said. "We actually did some live tackling — a limited amount, but some live tackling. I thought it was good for the guys to continue to progress and play. They're working hard. A week into it, I've been pleased with the effort and attention to detail. We're throwing a lot at them. It's not flawless (or) perfect in any way, but I do appreciate the effort these guys are giving and battling each other day in and day out."
