Connor Cook reminisces on Michigan State's run with Mark Dantonio

Connor Cook was in attendance for Drew Stanton’s High 5ive annual charity golf outing on Friday. The 18th year of the event, the charity aims to raise funds for Special Olympics Michigan and the Children’s Miracle Network and took place at College Fields Golf Club in Okemos.

During the event, Cook spoke to the media where he reminisced on the glory years he led Michigan State through from 2013-2015. Cook spoke about how that team would have fared against Auburn or Florida State to how the new era of college football could have affected those teams.

See Cook’s full comments:

“The reason we were so great was because guys wanted to stay.”
