CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Michigan State linebacker Darius Snow turned in a strong performance in the Spartans’ 38-16 loss to Illinois on Saturday.

He led the Spartans in tackles with seven — three solo and four assisted. Of course, the most important thing to Snow would have been to get the win, but the Spartans were unable to do so, falling to 4-6 with just two games left on their schedule.

Snow addressed the media after the loss.

Below is a transcript from Michigan State coach Jonathan Smith’s opening statement of his postgame press conference:

Smith: “OK, well, let me say first, congrats to Illinois. Played really well, executed well. It’s a good football team. Played a brand of ball that is tough to come back for and the way we were executing. A lot of it boils down to, I think, the difference on third down, the quality of play they had, lack of — I’m staring at a number; we were 2-of-15. That’s the difference in the game. I do think I’ll give them some credit, too, on their punt returners. We knew that guy was a good player coming into this thing, but we had a few of them get out on us, and that hidden yardage, I think was the difference in the game as well. So, congrats to them. We got some things on a short week we got to do better, and keep working. We got a lot still to play for with two. But we got a disappointed group in that locker room right now.”
