Against Michigan, Quarterback Smith showed that he is a poised passer as well as a brilliant ball handler, and Michigan State had speed to spare in sophomore Halfbacks Dewey Lincoln and Sherman Lewis. The Spartans' traditionally tenacious "umbrella" defense has not given up a single touchdown in three games.
