Media inforMaTionPRESS BOx

The Spartan Stadium expansion project, completed in August 2005, included the construction of a new press box. Level 8 is the working press deck that features 193 seats and four radio broadcast booths. Level 6 is the television camera deck as well as the broadcast location for national and regional telecasts.

Admission to the press box is through Gate F on the west side of the stadium. All press personnel are subject to search prior to entering Spartan Stadium.

WORKING CREDENTIALSAll requests for working press, photo and broadcast credentials for Michigan State’s 2012 home football games should be submitted online. Please contact athletic communications office assistant Paulette Martis at (517) 355-2271 for the URL.

Priority for the issuance of credentials will be given to daily newspapers and television stations which cover MSU football on a regular basis. All other credentials for print media are issued on basis of circulation. Upon acceptance of application, appropriate credentials are mailed out or held for pickup at media will-call, located at Gate F on the west side of Spartan Stadium. All members of the media picking up credentials at media will-call will be required to provide photo identification and the name must match the one listed on the credential. Working press tickets contain specific seat locations. Reporters requiring exclusive phone service should have their own lines and instruments installed. Others may use a limited number of telephones on a first-come, first-served basis.

ROAD GAME CREDENTIALSWriters covering the Spartans on a regular basis may request media credentials for road games through the MSU Athletic Communications Department. Credential requests are submitted to opponent SIDs on Mondays two weeks prior to the game.

PHONE LINESAn adequate number of phone lines and phone instruments are available, but media members needing to order their own lines should contact Ameritech at (800) 321-8152. Those ordering personal phones should provide Ameritech with the following street address for installation, One Michigan State University. To use existing lines, dial 8-0-area code-number. For toll free numbers, dial 8-1-800-number. Only collect, toll free and credit card calls are accepted.

INTERNET ACCESSWireless Internet is available for the working media in the press box on Level 8. Ethernet connections are available at each of the 193 seats in the press box, but only a limited number of cords are available. Please plan on bringing an Ethernet cord to use high-speed access. It is recommended for print outlets to use wireless access and photographers to use high-speed access.

RADIOEach originating broadcasting station will be issued a maximum of eight booth credentials. Spotters’ credentials must come from this allotment. Home team spotters are provided on advance notice only, and visiting team spotters must be arranged with visitors.

Only local radio stations with a full-time sports director conducting a daily sports show receive consideration for credentials. A post-game report service will be available from an athletic communications staffer after each home game at no charge.

PHOTOGRAPHERSField passes are issued on the basis of circulation with priority granted to media agencies covering the participating schools on a regular basis. Photographers may work from either sideline (except in the team area) and beyond both end zones. Press box photo passes for assigned locations

are issued to television station crews. A maximum of three working tickets is allowed per TV station. With the return of natural grass in Spartan Stadium, field access is limited to still photographers, camera operators and sideline reporters for “live” radio/TV network coverage.

MSU follows the guidelines established by the NCAA Communications Committee regarding sideline control, which ensure the sideline is a working press area. The following guidelines are adhered to: 1. Each photographer is required to wear an armband at all times; 2. Armbands must be secured at the photographer’s credential pickup; 3. After kickoff, no photographers are permitted in the bench area, on the playing field, or in the 12-foot area between the limit line and sideline; 4. Cutline writers, messengers and equipment carriers are not permitted in the sideline armband area; 5. Tripods are not permitted on the sidelines.

MEDIA PARKINGMedia parking passes are available for $15 per game and $105 for the 2012 season (seven home games). The designated lots for media parking are all within easy walking distance of Spartan Stadium. Media parking passes will be assigned by the MSU Athletic Communications Department. Priority for lot assignment will be given to daily newspapers and TV stations that cover Spartan football on a regular basis. All other media parking will be issued on the basis of circulation or market size (TV/radio). Additional parking fees are required to accommodate TV satellite trucks and “live” radio remotes.

STATISTICAL SERVICESLive stats for the 2012 season will be available at the following web site: www.livestats.ath.msu.edu. The interactive page will remain active following the conclusion of the game. Media members are encouraged to use this site as their main reference point for statistics; only a limited number of copies will be printed following each quarter.

Prior to kickoff, all media members will be provided a flip card and other pertinent information. Last-minute line-up changes, pregame weather conditions and other information will be relayed through the internal public address system. Updated game notes for both teams and Big Ten Conference notes and stats will be available for media members upon request in the media workroom. Game notes for both teams also will be posted in the Football Media Center on the front page of www.msuspartans.com on game day.

Following the conclusion of the game, a complete post-game stats package will be available in the press box and will contain a scoring summary, final team statistics, final individual statistics, complete play-by-play, drive charts, defensive statistics, player participation list, post-game quotes from both head coaches and selected players plus post-game notes.

Upon request, a final statistics book, quotes and notes can be e-mailed to media members approximately one hour after the conclusion of the game. To be added to the list, please e-mail Associate Athletics Director John Lewandowski at lewski@ath.msu.edu.

In addition, game notes and quotes will be posted on Michigan State’s official web site promptly after the conclusion of the game (www.msuspartans.com).

MEDIA HOSPITALITYA complimentary pregame meal will be served in the press box, approximately two hours before kickoff through halftime. Complimentary coffee and soft drinks are available throughout the game.

Following the post-game press conferences and interviews, complimentary pizzas will be served on Level 8.

HOTEL ROOMSHotel rooms are booked far in advance of Michigan State home football weekends. The Michigan State Athletic Communications Department has set aside a limited number of rooms at local hotels for accredited media representatives. Arrangements should be made through sports information office assistant Paulette Martis at (517) 355-2271. Some area hotels require a two-night stay for Michigan State home football weekends and a valid credit card is required for reservations being made through the MSU Athletic Communications Department. Media members are responsible for making their own lodging arrangements when Michigan State plays on the road.

WEEKLY PRESS CONFERENCESA weekly press conference with MSU head coach Mark Dantonio will be held each Tuesday during the season, beginning at 11:30 a.m. on Level 4 (Spartan Club) in Spartan Stadium. Parking is available in Lot 79 – the gated, pay lot – located south of Spartan Stadium, off of Shaw Lane.

WEEKLY INTERVIEWSOutside the weekly press conference, interviews during the week with head coach Mark Dantonio or any Spartan players should be arranged through the MSU Athletic Communications Department. The MSU Athletic Communications Department requests that all player interviews be arranged through this office and that media members are prohibited from contacting players in their apartments or dormitory rooms. The best time for player interviews is following practice Tuesday at approximately 5:30 p.m. All player interviews should be completed by the conclusion of practice on Wednesday of game week. Please contact the MSU Athletic Communications Department for all player interview requests at least 24 hours in advance.

Requested Spartan players also will be available for post-game comments in the interview trailer following Coach Dantonio’s press conference. The Spartan locker room is closed to the media. Coach Dantonio’s comments will be hooked into an amplification system and audio feeds can be obtained through use of connector cords (standard 1/4-inch connector). TV stations should bring a recording deck, standard BNC video cable and XLR audio cable. TV cameramen will be asked to set up their equipment at the back of the room. Coach Dantonio’s post-game press conference can also be seen live on closed circuit in the press box. The visiting coach press conference, held in another trailer outside the tunnel, will be shown on a tape-delay basis following Coach Dantonio’s press conference.

PRACTICE SCHEDULETuesday practices are normally open to the working media for approximately 30 minutes, beginning at 3:30 p.m. TV cameras and still photographers are permitted to shoot flex and the first few periods. The remainder of practice is closed.

sParTan sPorTs neTWorKFor the 13th consecutive season, the Spartan Sports Network (Holt, Mich.) will produce and distribute Michigan State football broadcasts. The Network, which is the largest and most listened to in the state, is powered by seven 50,000-watt stations and two 100,000-watt stations for 100 percent coverage of the state of Michigan. For the sixth consecutive year, the Spartan Sports Network was the most honored in the state, garnering six Michigan Association of Broadcasters’ “Broadcast Excellence Awards.” Network flagship stations are WJIM Radio (AM 1240) and WMMQ (FM 94.9) in Lansing and WJR Radio (AM 760) in Detroit.

George Blaha has anchored Spartan football broadcasts as play-by-play voice for over three decades. A 2008 inductee into the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame, Blaha is a Michigan broadcast icon, recently completing his 36th season as radio and television play-by-play voice of the National Basketball Association’s Detroit Pistons. The longest tenured play-by-play broadcaster in the state, he has been the recipient of many prestigious awards, including Michigan Sports Broadcaster of the Year (1998 and 2007) from the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association. In 2002, he also was presented the Ty Tyson Award

for “Excellence in Sports Broadcasting” by the Detroit Sports Broadcasters Association.

Born in Detroit, Blaha was raised in Marshalltown, Iowa, and Grayling, Mich. He and his father attended Michigan State’s first-ever Big Ten football game, played at Iowa in 1953. Blaha earned a bachelor’s degree in economics from Notre Dame in 1966 and later received his MBA from Michigan.

Jim Miller, a three-year starter at quarterback for Coach George Perles at Michigan State from 1991-93, enters his seventh season as color analyst for the Spartan Sports Network. Miller still ranks among MSU’s all-time leaders in pass attempts (eighth at 746), pass completions (fifth at 467), completion percentage (third at .629) and passing yards (eighth at 5,037). As a senior, Miller shared team MVP honors after completing 215-of-336 passes (.640) for 2,269 yards and nine touchdowns. A three-time Academic All-Big Ten selection from 1990-92, he earned his bachelor’s degree in supply chain management

from Michigan State in 2002. Prior to signing a National Letter of Intent to attend Michigan State in February 1989, Miller earned All-America and all-state honors at Kettering High School in Waterford, Mich.

A sixth-round selection by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 1994 National Football League Draft, Miller threw for 6,387 yards and 36 TDs during his nine-year pro career (Pittsburgh, 1995-96; Atlanta, 1997; Chicago, 1998-2002; New England, 2004). He earned 27 career starts at quarterback, compiling a 15-11 record as a starter in Chicago. In five seasons with the Bears, Miller recorded three 300-yard passing games. In his first career start against Minnesota on Nov. 14, 1999, he completed 34-of-48 throws for 422 yards and three scores. His 422 passing yards represent the fourth-highest single-game total in Chicago history. In 2001, Miller led the Bears’ charge to the playoffs, posting an 11-2 record as a starter during the regular season while establishing career highs in pass attempts (395), pass completions (228), passing yards (2,299) and TDs (13). In 2002, he threw for 1,944 yards while matching his career best with 13 TD tosses.

Additional on-air responsibilities for Miller include providing NFL analysis for Sirius Satellite Radio and serving as a studio analyst for Comcast SportsNet Chicago’s “Bears Post Game Live.” Miller is the co-founder of GoBigRecruiting.com and owns JMK Custom Homes in Clarkston, Mich.

Former Michigan State All-Big Ten center Jason Strayhorn begins his seventh season as the sideline reporter for the Spartan Sports Network. A native of Indianapolis, Ind., Strayhorn started 24 consecutive games at center for Coach Nick Saban in 1997-98. As a senior, he earned first-team All-Big Ten honors from the coaches and media after grading out as a winner (better than 70 percent) in 11 of the 12 games in 1998. The former team captain also received the Up Front Award as the team’s outstanding interior lineman in 1998, consistently posting the unit’s top grade for pass protection by not allowing a sack the entire season. Strayhorn turned in one of the best performances of

his career in MSU’s 28-24 victory over top-ranked Ohio State in Columbus in 1998. He was selected Spartan Offensive Player of the Week after grading out 80 percent overall against the Buckeyes, including 89 percent in his pass-blocking assignments.

Strayhorn, who received his bachelor’s degree in business management from Michigan State in 1998, owns a real estate investment company.

Will Tieman returns for his 15th year on the Spartan football broadcast team, serving as the broadcast host. During home games at Spartan Stadium, Tieman broadcasts from the network’s on-field set, located in the north end zone. His other football-related activities include: hosting a daily statewide series, called “In the Huddle with Mark Dantonio,” and handling play-by-play duties for the national broadcast of the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl. For the 22nd year, Tieman serves as host for the syndicated series “This Week in College Football and Basketball.” In July 2012, he was presented the Ty Tyson

Excellence in Sports Broadcasting Award by the Detroit Sports Broadcasters Association. Three times Tieman has been honored with the “Best Network Play-by-Play” award by the Michigan Association of Broadcasters. He was recognized in 2008 and 2010 for his work as voice of the Michigan State basketball team and in 2007 for his presentation of the Motor City Bowl. Tieman recently served as the president of the DSBA.

big Ten neTWorKTOP TEN THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT BTN1. BTN IS A NATIONAL NETWORK: All BTN events are televised to a national audience, with BTN available to more than 90 million homes in the US and Canada and 20 countries internationally.

2. EVENTS MORE THAN DOUBLED: BTN is plan-ning to air more than 900 HD events across

all platforms in the 2012-13, as well as original programming, studio shows and classic games. In 2007-08 (BTN’s first year), BTN aired more than 400 live events as well as studio shows, original programming, classic games and coaches’ shows.

3. SEE ExTRA GAMES: BTN uses “Extra Football Game Channels” to televise BTN football games occurring at the same time so fans can see the game they most want to watch regardless of where they live.

4. TAKE BTN WITH YOU: BTN subscribers whose providers offer BTN2Go, the 24/7 BTN simulcast, can access BTN anywhere, anytime via tablets, smartphones, and PCs along with on-demand access to BTN’s deep archive of games and original programming and Extra Football Game Channels.

5. FULL DIGITAL ACCESS: Since launch, BTN has possessed the digital rights to all home events, and through the complete aggregation of each Big Ten university’s digital content, BTN launched the Big Ten Digital Network in 2011, streaming hundreds of live events that are not televised on BTN.

6. DEDICATED TO WOMEN’S SPORTS: No other network devotes as much to women’s sports as BTN. The network schedule annually features over 400 women’s events. Each week during the academic year, the network airs the Big Ten Women’s Sports Report, a program dedicated exclusively to the highlights and accomplishments of female Big Ten student-athletes.

7. ON-THE-JOB ExPERIENCE: BTN has provided hundreds of students an opportunity to participate in live sports production through Student U. Since 2009, Big Ten students on each campus have produced and announced hundreds of events, offering them a unique opportunity to gain real-world experience and for the network to train the production stars of tomorrow.

8. ExCELLENCE ACKNOWLEDGED: BTN has earned two Sports Emmy nominations for The Journey: Big Ten Basket-ball, and was also recognized with its first Edward R. Murrow Award in the category of excellence in sports reporting for its feature story on Brock Mealer.

9. WHO GETS BTN? MILLIONS OF FANS: BTN had virtually full distribution on expanded basic or equivalent level of service in its eight (now nine) Big Ten states by the start of the football season in 2008. (In terms of BTN’s largest providers, Comcast came on board in June 2008, with Time Warner, Mediacom and Charter launching the network in late August 2008.)

HONORING LEGENDS. BUILDING LEADERS.

The mission of the Big Ten Conference has always been to excel athletically without compromising the priority our member institutions assign to their academic standards and to their commitment to student academic success. We seek to celebrate the many accomplishments of Big Ten student-athletes while continuously reinforcing each of our member institutions’ high academic standards. Striking that important balance between academics and athletics is integral to the Big Ten’s identity, and that philosophy led to the genesis of the new football division names. Both names link directly to the Big Ten mission.

A respectful acknowledgement of the 18 Heisman Trophy winners and 220 College Football Hall of Famers that have graced our fields and sidelines for the past 116 years.

A hopeful and aspirational acknowledgment that we believe the college athletics experience helps to develop the characteristics that Big Ten student-athletes will need to become leaders for the rest of their lives - in their homes, jobs and in their communities.

2012 ouTlooKUnder sixth-year head coach Mark Dantonio, Michigan State has firmly established itself as one of the premier programs in the Big Ten Conference.The Spartans have won more Big Ten games (24) over the last four years than any other conference team, including a 14-2 mark the past two seasons that included the 2010 Big Ten Championship and the 2011 Big Ten Legends Division title. In addition, Michigan State has won 11 games in back-to-back seasons for the first time in school history. The 22 wins since the beginning of the 2010 season are the highest two-year total in program history and ties for seventh most among NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision Teams during that same period.But Dantonio has sent a clear message to his team since a thrilling triple-overtime victory over Georgia in the 2012 Outback Bowl brought last season to a close. “We can’t be complacent,” said Dantonio. “We can’t stand on what we’ve done before.“Really what we’ve got to do is try to build on what we’ve accomplished thus far, and I don’t think that ever stops. I think you have a vision for where you want to go, a vision for the future, and you’re trying to get there. Really, you continue to build. That’s what we’ll always do here.” With 49 letterwinners and 16 starters returning, including 10 who earned All-Big Ten recognition, Michigan State is primed for another run at winning the Big Ten Championship as it looks to go to its first Rose Bowl since defeating USC in 1988. The defense, which ranked among the NCAA FBS Top 10 in four categories last season, including No. 6 in total defense, reloads with eight starters from a year ago, while the offense welcomes back an experienced offensive line with several budding playmakers.Dantonio, who has won more games (44) than any Spartan coach in his first five seasons, along with offensive coordinator Dan Roushar and defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi, take a position-by-position look at the 2012 Spartans.

QUARTERBACKS

For the first time since 2009, Michigan State will have a new quarterback directing the offense. Gone is three-year starter Kirk Cousins, who compiled a 22-5 record his final two seasons and set nearly every career Michigan State passing record en route to becoming the winningest quarterback in school history.After spending three seasons as Cousins’ understudy, Andrew Maxwell (6-3, 212, Jr.) is ready to take over the reins of the offense while taking on more of a leadership role. Although he lacks starting experience, Maxwell has been in the system for three years and has shown glimpses of his potential. In just four games last season, Maxwell completed 69 percent of his passes (18-of-26), including an 8-for-9 effort against Central Michigan with a touchdown. Now, it’s his turn, and the coaches think he’s ready for the challenge.“I think Andrew is very much like Kirk in a lot of ways: their personalities, very faith driven, intelligent players, hard workers, very good teammates, and good leaders as well,” Dantonio said. “With that being said, you have to be your own person too. You can’t try to simulate somebody. But we’re very fortunate to have him be as patient, really, as he’s been throughout this process. “He came here as a highly recruited young man, and from day one when he came in here he impressed. So it wasn’t the type of thing where we had to sort of sit there and say well, hopefully he gets good enough. He’s come here with an idea that he can be the guy,

and this is his time. It’s going to be very exciting to watch him.” Not only does Maxwell have the physical attributes necessary to become a successful quarterback, but he’s also starting to emerge as the vocal leader the offense needs following the departure of Cousins, who was only the second three-time captain in MSU history.“Andrew’s an extremely hard worker with great attention to detail,” remarked Dantonio. “He has a great feel in the huddle in terms of being able to lead people. He does a lot of things at the line of scrimmage and has a great understanding of things conceptually. “Physically, tangibly, he’s got good size and strength. He was a 6-7 high jumper in high school, so he has some explosiveness to him. He’s got a great arm. What he needs is game experience, I feel.”That’s the biggest question surrounding Maxwell entering the season, one that can only be answered with time.“He has to get that down in, down out type of situation where he has to make plays in critical situations,” said Dantonio. “I think that’s what he’s missing right now. But he’s going to get that.”Maxwell suffered a slight setback midway through spring practice with a sprained knee and had to sit out the final six practices, including the Green-White spring game, but it’s not something offensive coordinator Dan Roushar feels will hamper him going into preseason camp.“Up until the injury, I thought Andrew was having a very good spring,” Roushar said. “I thought his decision-making process was on par to what we expected and thought his accuracy was very good. Missing a few practices probably doesn’t hurt him as much as it hurts us because you lose the leadership aspect that he brings. You’re looking for who is going to step up and not only be a vocal leader, but a leader by example. That’s something that has stood out to us.”The biggest beneficiary to Maxwell’s minor injury was Connor Cook (6-4, 222, R-Fr.), who was suddenly thrust into the starting quarterback role the remainder of spring practice. Cook handled the difficult task admirably, especially considering it was his first spring practice and he was going against arguably one of the nation’s top defenses. His accelerated spring education concluded with a strong showing at the Green-White game, where he completed 20-of-45 passes for 294 yards and a touchdown while playing for both teams.“The upside is, he’s going to get better,” Roushar said of Cook. “The downside is he’s not where we want him

to be yet. The biggest thing is that by him getting all this work, he came out of the spring with a clear understanding of what his strengths and weaknesses are, and he’ll be able to continue to improve on his strengths but really address the areas he needs to address too, as talented as he is, reach his potential.”Fifth-year senior Peter Badovinac (6-2, 220), red-shirt freshman Tommy Vento (6-1, 192) and true freshman Tyler O’Connor (6-3, 215) will provide depth at quarterback.

RUNNING BACKS/FULLBACKS

In an era of unprecedented passing numbers, Michigan State’s offensive game plan remains one of balance, with a strong commitment to the running game.Junior Le’Veon Bell (6-2, 244) leads a talented backfield that also includes senior Larry Caper (5-11, 222) and sophomore Nick Hill (5-8, 190). The team’s leading rusher in 2011 with 948 yards and 13 touchdowns, Bell is expected to be the featured back this season after splitting carries with Edwin Baker last year. In just two seasons, Bell has collected 1,553 yards on the ground (5.4 avg.) and is tied for 13th in MSU history with 21 rushing TDs. The bruising, physical back, who was also third on the team last year with 35 receptions for 267 yards, has been named to preseason watch lists for the Maxwell and Doak Walker Awards.“We look forward to Le’Veon building upon the momentum he gained during the second half of last season,” Roushar said. “Down the stretch, he displayed the ability to make big plays, both in the running and passing games. With continued improvement, Le’Veon can become a more consistent playmaker. “We also believe Le’Veon has the talent to become a dominant ball carrier because he does have the ability to gain yards after contact. What we’d like to see is for Le’Veon to get stronger as the game and season progresses. If he does, that will make our running game even better.”Following a strong spring practice, Caper will have plenty of opportunities to carry the ball in 2012. Caper burst onto the scene his freshman season in 2009 by leading the team in rushing, but a hand injury slowed him in 2010 as Baker and Bell did most of the heavy lifting out of the tailback position. Over the past two seasons, Caper has also proven to be a receiving threat, with 22 catches and two TD receptions.“I think Larry’s run the ball harder, he’s been more decisive, at times he’s gotten his pads going forward,

Andrew Maxwell is ready to take over as the starting quarterback in 2012 following the departure of three-year starter Kirk Cousins to the NFL.

Le’Veon Bell ranked among the Big Ten leaders last season in rushing touchdowns (fifth with 13) and rushing (eighth at 67.7 ypg.).

2012 ouTlooKand he’s been more sound in protection,” Roushar said of Caper’s play in spring practice. “He’s catching the football, so I see good things. We’re counting on him.” As a red-shirt freshman, Hill saw the field as a kick returner and responded by compiling the second-most kick return yards in school history with 999. This fall, he will compete for carries out of the backfield in addition to his duties on special teams. Playing for both teams in the Green-White spring game, Hill combined to rush for 95 yards on 19 carries, including a 32-yard TD run for the White in the fourth quarter.“Nick Hill is a phenomenal running back as well,” said Dantonio. “He gives you that little bit of that Edwin Baker type of thing, where he’s in and out of cuts and hides behind people, and he’s extremely explosive.”The trio of Bell, Caper and Hill should benefit from an experienced offensive line that features seven players with starting experience.“They’re gaining confidence in what they see and are able to stay within the structure of what we’re doing schematically, and not all of the sudden ad-libbing and being somewhere we didn’t want them to be,” Roushar said. “You see guys playing faster, they’re stronger, the usage of their hands is better and they’re much closer to what we want them to be and need them to be for us to be successful.”Jeremy Langford (6-0, 205, So.), who moved to wide receiver during the middle of spring practice, also has experience at running back and provides depth at the position.At fullback, sophomore Niko Palazeti (6-1, 250) is the leading candidate for the starting position left vacated by the graduation of Todd Anderson. In addition to Palazeti, walk-on Trevon Pendleton (5-11, 248, R-Fr.) and converted defensive end Taylor Calero (6-3, 248, So.) add depth at the position.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Michigan State must replace three wide receivers with starting experience (B.J. Cunningham, Keshawn Martin and Keith Nichol) and two tight ends (Brian Linthicum and Garrett Celek). Cunningham had a historic senior season, tying a school single-season record with 79 receptions while leaving East Lansing as the program’s all-time record holder in receptions (218) and receiving yards (3,086). In addition, Martin’s 66 catches tied for sixth in an MSU single season; combined, Cunningham and Martin produced the most prolific season by a wide receiving duo in Spartan history with 145 catches and 2,083 yards. All told, the Spartans only return 23 percent of the team’s receptions and 16 percent of the team’s receiving yards from last season.That being said, the cupboard certainly isn’t bare in terms of talent. There are plenty of options for quarterback Andrew Maxwell, who has worked with a majority of the rising newcomers both in the spring and during his time with the No. 2 offense last season.“Wide receiver is a position where we’ve lost a lot of players,” said Dantonio. “The yards and catches really have been sort of depleted in that area. So that’s a position where we’ve addressed those needs in recruiting, and we’re addressing those needs with position moves or different situations we’re trying to deal with.“It’s going to be important (for the receivers) to work extremely hard. But I think they’re very, very capable of giving us explosiveness out there in big plays.”Unfortunately, two of the most experienced receivers saw limited time during spring practice, as Bennie Fowler (6-1, 218, Jr.) continued to heal from a foot injury and Tony Lippett (6-3, 190, So.) sprained an ankle and missed the second half of spring drills.

Fowler has been battling lingering foot problems his entire career, but has been productive when he’s made it to the field. As a red-shirt freshman in 2010, Fowler emerged as a multi-dimensional threat with 573 all-purpose yards, including 175 receiving yards on 14 catches. But he was limited to just five games of action last season and primarily played special teams. Due to a lack of depth at cornerback last season, Lippett played on both sides of the ball, eventually being used a majority of the time on defense. He appeared in all 14 games, including five starts at cornerback, and tied for second on the team with five pass break-ups. Lippett moved back over to the offense exclusively at the onset of spring practice and is expected to be a playmaker for the Spartans this fall.One thing is for certain – preseason camp will be a critical time for Maxwell and the receivers to develop a further sense of chemistry before the season begins, especially with Fowler and Lippett.“I think we’ve got some very talented guys, but they didn’t get to make the progress (in spring practice),” Roushar said. “I think they can get it done, and hopefully they’ll be much more ready when they report for camp. That’s probably the biggest negative of what happened this spring and could slow our progress, but I don’t see it to be such a concern that these guys won’t come back and play at a high level.”The Spartans received good news following the conclusion of spring practice as DeAnthony Arnett (5-11, 170, So.), a transfer from Tennessee, was ruled eligible to play in 2012 after the NCAA granted his request for a residence waiver. Arnett transferred to Michigan State at the beginning of the spring semester in January so he could be closer to his hometown of Saginaw, Mich., and his father William, who is battling heart and kidney problems. Arnett is expected to contribute immediately after an impressive freshman campaign in 2011 for the Volunteers. He was third on the team in catches (24) and fifth in receiving yards (242) to go along with two TDs; his 24 receptions tied for second most by a true freshman in Tennessee history.Two more young receivers that will see playing time include sophomore Keith Mumphery (6-0, 208) and red-shirt freshman Andre Sims Jr. (5-9, 182). Mumphery was named the Scout Team Offensive Player of the Year in 2010 and earned his first letter last season playing in all 14 games, primarily on special teams. Sims redshirted in 2011 but served notice in the spring after recording five receptions for 58 yards in three spring scrimmages, including a

team-best three catches for 22 yards and a TD for the White in the spring game.“Keith is a guy that’s ready to explode onto the scene,” said Dantonio. “And A.J. (Andre) is a very exciting player, who can get north and south quick.” A transition for Langford from running back to wide receiver appeared to be the right move in the middle of spring practice, as he quickly picked up on the position and made an impact with five catches in the first two scrimmages, giving the Spartans yet another target.“I really feel like he’s too good of an athlete to play one position and be the fourth tailback,” Dantonio said on Langford. “We’ve got to get him on the field, just like we did last year with special teams. He’s a guy who catches the ball well down the field and does some things naturally like Keshawn (Martin) did.”Juwan Caesar (6-4, 212, R-Fr.), John Jakubik (6-0, 188, So.) and AJ Troup (6-2, 205, R-Fr.,) add depth at wide receiver, in addition to Kyle Kerrick (6-3, 194), an incoming freshman who enrolled early and participated in spring practice. True freshmen Aaron Burbridge (6-1, 190), Macgarrett Kings Jr. (5-10, 183) and Monty Madaris (6-1, 190) also enter preseason camp with a chance to see action.

TIGHT ENDS

The Spartans have possessed one of the deepest, most experienced tight end groups in the nation the past few seasons, regularly featuring multiple players owning starts to their credit. This season, however, junior Dion Sims (6-5, 285) is the only returning letterwinner at the position with starting experience under his belt, and he will be counted on to lead the relatively young tight end corps.Sims appears on the preseason watch list for the Mackey Award, which is presented to the nation’s top tight end, marking the fourth-straight year the Spartans have had a player up for the prestigious award. Although he played the second half of 2011 with a broken hand, Sims still managed to play in all 14 games and rank tied for third on the team with three touchdown receptions; all of his 12 catches arrived in the first seven games. A threat in the red zone, Sims already has six career TD receptions in his two seasons.With his experience, Sims could have a more expanded role in the passing game, said Roushar, while the young receivers continue their maturation process.Joining Sims on the depth chart at tight end to make up for the losses of Brian Linthicum and Garrett Celek is converted defensive end Denzel Drone (6-2, 260, Jr.), who made the transition to the offensive side of the ball during spring practice.“Denzel can move back into the defense and not miss a beat really,” said Dantonio. “He was a good tight end in high school. We have a need at that position, so he can walk over there and be in an immediate situation where he can play either an F, or a move tight end, or a stationary tight end.”Third-year walk-on Andrew Gleichert (6-5, 250, So.) took reps with the No. 1 and No. 2 offense in the spring and could see action in a two-tight end formation. Two-year letterwinner Derek Hoebing (6-7, 270, Jr.) and Paul Lang (6-5, 255, R-Fr.) also provide depth at the position.

OFFENSIVE LINE

After years of having to replace multiple starters on the offensive line, this season Michigan State returns seven offensive linemen with starting experience, giving it the potential to be the strongest front five in the Dantonio era. The depth has afforded Roushar and offensive line coach Mark Staten to juggle personnel

Chris McDonald, who has started 26 career games at right guard, is one of four returning starters on the offensive line for the Spartans.

groupings to see which unit gels the most before the start of the season.“We’ve have more experience than we’ve ever had before on the offensive line,” said Dantonio. “Everything that we’ve been able to do I think points toward that we have a foundation right now moving forward. “It’s just a matter of getting everybody the number of reps, but that’s a good thing. We’ve got numbers, so when you have that, it gives you great luxury.”The veteran of the group is fifth-year senior Chris McDonald (6-5, 298), who returns for his third season as the starting right guard. McDonald has 26 starting assignments to his credit, including 17 consecutive games, and was named to the preseason watch list for the Outland Trophy, which is awarded to the nation’s top interior lineman.Returning letterwinner Nate Klatt (6-4, 290, Jr.) and walk-on Connor Kruse (6-4, 318, So.) will back-up McDonald at right guard. Also returning to the right side is tackle Fou Fonoti (6-4, 296, Sr.), a junior college transfer who stepped right in last season and started the final 11 games. Meanwhile, junior Henry Conway (6-6, 330) is healthy after battling neck injuries throughout his career and will support Fonoti at right tackle, along with Shawn Kamm (6-7, 305, So.)The injuries that shuffled the lineup around so often last season – MSU used four different starting combinations, including three centers – should actually come back to benefit the Spartans in 2012. At center, Blake Treadwell (6-3, 300, Jr.) started the first three games last year, but was injured at Notre Dame, clearing the way for Travis Jackson (6-3, 280, So.), who went on to earn Freshman All-America honors and developed into one of the top young centers in the nation. Jackson returns to hold down the starting spot heading into preseason camp.Fifth-year senior Ethan Ruhland (6-5, 290), who started at center in the win over Minnesota last season, and Kyle Lints (6-3, 296, R-Fr.) also return to provide depth at the position. Treadwell has now moved over to left guard, where he looks to fill the gap of the one starter lost in Joel Foreman, who tied a school record for the most starts of any player at any position with 49.The wild card on the offensive line could be red-shirt freshman Jack Allen (6-1, 295). Dantonio said that Allen was talented enough to play last season, but the program was fortunate enough to be able to redshirt him. This year, Allen expects to find his way on the field and will initially provide back-up at left guard and possibly center. Donovan Clark (6-3, 202, R-Fr.) also adds depth at left guard.There are two legitimate starting candidates at left tackle in junior Dan France (6-6, 315) and sophomore Skyler Burkland (6-7, 315). A converted defensive lineman, France started all but one game at left tackle last season in his first year on the offensive line. Burkland, a promising talent who started the first three games of 2011 at right tackle before suffering a season-ending knee injury at Notre Dame, returned to action in spring practice and will push France for the starting position.France also took some reps at left guard with Burkland at left tackle during the spring, leaving the Spartans with perhaps another combination up front.“Skyler’s a tremendous football player,” remarked Dantonio. “He’s big, extremely physical, tough, and very athletic...He’s going to end up playing some place. These guys will be challenged to play. Maybe we’ll just put all seven of them in there at once and play like that.”

depth for the Spartans. In addition, Lawrence Thomas (6-3, 295, R-Fr.), who sat out nearly all of last season and spring practice with a shoulder injury, will return to the field during preseason camp and make the switch from linebacker to defensive end.“Without a doubt, when you look at Rush and Gholston, and Calhoun and Heath, and even Gainer had a good spring, we’ve got some quality ends,” Narduzzi said. “There’s no question that with those guys, we can and will be better than we were a year ago.”The inside will have a different look than the past few seasons, but the Spartans have the luxury of plugging in two seniors in the middle. Anthony Rashad White (6-2, 230, Sr.) started four games last season and made his biggest impact in the Outback Bowl, showing his potential with a career-high seven tackles against the Bulldogs, including three for losses (7 yards). He sealed the victory for MSU by blocking a potential game-tying field goal in the third overtime to preserve the win.Damon Knox (6-4, 278, R-Fr.), fourth-year player Micajah Reynolds (6-5, 318, Jr.) and Jordan Sanders (6-1, 305, So.) will provide depth behind White at defensive tackle.After seeing action as a defensive end his entire career, Tyler Hoover (6-7, 310, Sr.-5) transitioned to nose tackle during spring practice, providing the Spartans with impressive size and speed at the position.“Well, he’s big,” Dantonio said regarding Hoover’s move. “He’s had to keep his weight down (to be at defensive end). He has to try to get down to 265, 270. If he lets himself just be what he is, he’s probably 295-, 300-pound guy. So I think Tyler has great ability. There is no question he has experience...He’s got tremendous upside.”Vanderbilt transfer James Kittredge (6-4, 272, So.), who had to sit out last season, will be in the mix to start as well at nose tackle after an impressive spring practice. Brandon Clemons (6-3, 275, R-Fr.), Mark Scarpinato (6-3, 278, R-Fr.) and Doug Curtis (6-2, 240, Sr.) add support behind Hoover and Kittredge.

LINEBACKERS

All three starters return for the Spartans to what should be one of the most talented linebacker corps in the nation.The group is led by junior Max Bullough (6-3, 252), who is entering his second year as the starting middle linebacker. Bullough had the difficult challenge of replacing four-year starter and two-time consensus

Third-year player Michael Dennis (6-7, 309, So.) supplies depth at left tackle.“I see a lot more consistency in execution, not only of assignment but the fundamentals we’re working so hard on,” Roushar said. “They’ve been outstanding in their efforts to be a complete unit both as run-blockers and in protecting the passer.”

DEFENSIVE LINE

Although the Spartans lost both of their starting interior defensive linemen from last season in consensus All-American Jerel Worthy and Kevin Pickelman, the program has been stockpiling talent with strong recruiting the past few seasons and still appears to have the makings of a dominant defensive line in 2012.The group is headlined by starting ends William Gholston (6-7, 278, Jr.) and Marcus Rush (6-2, 250, So.), who combined for 128 tackles and 28 tackles for loss, including nine sacks, in 2011.Gholston improved immensely from his freshman season and had a breakthrough campaign as a sophomore, leading all Spartan defensive linemen with 70 tackles while ranking tied for seventh in the Big Ten with 16 tackles for loss and tied for 11th in the conference with five sacks. In the Outback Bowl victory over Georgia, Gholston was at his finest, tying a Spartan-bowl record with five tackles for loss (16 yards); he had seven tackles overall against the Bulldogs, including two sacks, and he also broke up a pass and recovered a fumble. Gholston enters his junior season listed as a preseason candidate for the Bednarik and Lombardi Awards as well as the Nagurski Trophy.Rush wasted no time in making an immediate impact for the Spartan defense, starting all 14 games his red-shirt freshman season and ranking first among Big Ten freshmen in sacks (4.0 for 23 yards) and tackles for loss (12.0 for 45 yards). He also produced 58 tackles overall and five breakups, and was named a Freshman All-American and the Big Ten Freshman Defensive MVP by ESPN.com.Behind Gholston and Rush are two exciting prospects that the Spartan coaching staff is encouraged to see get on the field and believe will make an impact in 2012: red-shirt freshmen Shilique Calhoun (6-4, 240) and Joel Heath (6-6, 266). Calhoun showed incredible promise during practice last season, being named Scout Team Defensive Player of the Week a team-high three times, while Heath showed flashes of his potential in the spring with six tackles, including two sacks, in the three scrimmages.Returning letterwinners Jeremy Gainer (6-2, 232, Jr.) and Corey Freeman (6-2, 256, Sr.) also will provide

William Gholston recorded 16 tackles for loss in 2011, tying for seventh most in Spartan single-season history.

Middle linebacker Max Bullough returns to anchor a Spartan defense that ranked No. 1 in the Big Ten last season in total defense (277.4 ypg.), rushing defense (100.5 ypg.) and sacks (45).

All-American Greg Jones last season, but the Spartans didn’t miss a beat from the Mike position, as Bullough led the team in tackles with 89 and earned second-team All-Big Ten honors from the coaches. Perhaps what impressed the coaching staff the most, however, was his ability to lead the Big Ten’s top-ranked defense.“Max can take the step to the next level,” Narduzzi said. “Intelligence-wise, I don’t know if he can get any better. The next step is for him to just become a physical force.”Backing up Bullough will be returning letterwinners Steve Gardiner (6-1, 224, Sr.-5) and TyQuan Hammock (6-0, 245, Jr.).Two-year starter Chris Norman (6-1, 233, Sr.) returns at Star (weak side) linebacker following his best season as a Spartan. As a junior in 2011, Norman earned honorable mention All-Big Ten accolades after recording career bests in tackles (76) and tackles for loss (6.5 for 24 yards). Although Norman is settled in as the starter, red-shirt freshman Darien Harris (6-0, 210) and sophomore Taiwan Jones (6-3, 230) also will see time this season at Star linebacker.With Norman out of spring practice with a shoulder injury, Harris was the most productive Star linebacker, compiling 15 tackles in three spring scrimmages, including five for the White in the spring game.“Darien Harris has really made major strides to the point where you go, ‘Wow, that guy can go in and be better than we had at backup last year,’” Narduzzi said. “I feel comfortable with where he is mentally on knowing what to do and once we get into the game plan, I think he’ll be just as good.” Jones was the only true freshman who played for the Spartans on either offense or defense in 2011, and he earned his first letter by producing 18 tackles. “Taiwan was more like Chris Norman as a freshman – he was on special teams, played a little bit,” said Dantonio. “We tried to find a place for him, but there was a lot to learn. I think Taiwan will be an outstanding player for us here, and I think he’ll compete for playing time.”At Sam (strong side) linebacker, junior Denicos Allen (5-11, 225) proved to be a playmaker in his first year as a starter, ranking second in the Big Ten with 11 sacks (69 yards) and fourth in tackles for loss (18.5 for 86 yards). In fact, his 18.5 tackles for loss tied for the second-most ever in a Spartan single season. Allen is one of four Spartans, along with Gholston, Bullough and Johnny Adams, to be named to the preseason watch list for the Bednarik Award, which is presented to the nation’s top defensive player.Providing support behind Allen is junior Kyler Elsworth (6-1, 220), who collected 37 tackles last season and led the team with 15 stops on special teams.Ed Davis (6-3, 220, R-Fr.) and Danny Folino (5-9, 206, Jr.) also add depth at linebacker for the Spartans.

DEFENSIVE BACKS

Michigan State welcomes back three of its four starters from a year ago to a secondary that ranked among the NCAA FBS Top 25 in pass defense (11th with 176.9 yards per game), interceptions (tied for 12th with 18) and pass efficiency defense (18th with a 113.3 rating). The cornerback tandem of Johnny Adams (5-11, 177, Sr.-5) and Darqueze Dennard (5-11, 188, Jr.) has been ranked one the top in the nation by several national media outlets. Adams, whose name appears on preseason watch lists for three national awards (Bednarik, Nagurski and Thorpe), garnered first-team All-Big Ten honors by the coaches last season after leading the team with nine passes defended, including three interceptions. The fifth-year senior has 28 starts

to his credit and ranks among MSU’s all-time leaders in interceptions (8) and interception return yards (219).Dennard started 11 games and recorded 42 tackles and six passes defended (three interceptions, three pass break-ups) as a sophomore in 2011. His biggest game arrived in the Outback Bowl win over Georgia, as he tied a Spartan-bowl record with two interceptions, including a 38-yard return for a touchdown.“Obviously, you feel good with your corners in Johnny Adams and Darqueze Dennard,” Narduzzi said. “I feel pretty good that those guys can lock people down, but they still have to make a play on the ball. If there’s one place you feel real good, it’s at that corner spot.”Fifth-year senior Mitchell White (5-11, 185) and red-shirt freshman Trae Waynes (6-1, 175) are set to be the back-up cornerbacks. Arjen Colquhoun (6-1, 192, R-Fr.) and Mylan Hicks (5-11, 192, So.) will also add depth at the position.In addition to Adams, junior strong safety Isaiah Lewis (5-10, 205) is also mentioned on the preseason watch list for the Thorpe Award, given annually to the nation’s top defensive back. The hard-hitting Lewis was one of just 13 players in 2011 to return two interceptions for touchdowns, and he ranked tied for second in the Big Ten with four interceptions overall. A second-team All-Big Ten selection, Lewis ranked fourth on the Spartans with 74 tackles in his first year as the full-time starter. Lewis will also serve as the secondary’s vocal leader following the departure of former captain and three-year starter Trenton Robinson to the NFL.Two-year letterwinner Jairus Jones (6-1, 207, Jr.) gives the Spartans an experienced back-up behind Lewis at strong safety.The battle for the starting spot at free safety left open by Robinson is down to Kurtis Drummond (6-1, 200, So.) and RJ Williamson (6-0, 205, R-Fr.). Drummond earned his first letter last season serving as Robinson’s back-up, recording 17 tackles and two interceptions in 12 games of action. Third-year player Dana Dixon (6-2, 176, Jr.) adds depth at free safety.“Kurtis Drummond and RJ Williamson have got to remain consistent,” Dantonio said. “We’ve got guys who can tackle, are explosive players and have great ball skills. What they don’t have is Trenton’s experience, but we’re going to get that as we continue working.”

SPECIAL TEAMS

Special teams are a point of pride for Michigan State head coach Mark Dantonio, and the results in his tenure have proved the emphasis the Spartans place on the third phase of the game. Since Dantonio’s arrival to

East Lansing in 2007, a Spartan kicker or punter has earned All-Big Ten recognition six times, and MSU also has produced Big Ten leaders in kickoff returns and punt returns. In addition, MSU led the Big Ten last season with five blocked kicks and scored two touchdowns on special teams.For the third consecutive season, veteran Dan Conroy (5-10, 186, Sr.-5) will handle the placekicking duties. Conroy has made 82 percent of his field goals (32-for-39) for his career, which ranks first in the Michigan State record book and eighth among active NCAA FBS players. After making 14-of-15 field goals to earn first-team All-Big Ten honors as a sophomore, Conroy connected on 17 field goals in 2011, tying for eighth most in a MSU season. Named to the preseason watch list for the Lou Groza Award, Conroy has kicked 11 of his 32 career field goals from at least 40 yards out.Kevin Muma (6-0, 195, Jr.) also returns for his third year as the starting kickoff specialist. Last season, Muma ranked among the FBS leaders in touchbacks (tied for 20th with 17) and kickoff average (33rd with 65.1 avg.). In addition, Muma will serve as the back-up placekicker, behind Conroy.As a red-shirt freshman, Mike Sadler (6-0, 180, So.) demonstrated that he is one of the top punters in the nation in pinning opposing offenses deep in their own territory. The Big Ten All-Freshman selection tied for eighth in the FBS with 11 punts inside the 10-yard line, and tied for 12th with 25 punts inside the 20. Sadler earned Big Ten Freshman of the Week honors on two occasions, was named the Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week following his performance in the win over Minnesota, and tied a career high with four punts inside the 20 against Georgia in the Outback Bowl.At long snapper, returning letterwinner Steve Moore (6-3, 225, Jr.) will compete with incoming freshman Taybor Pepper (6-4, 185) in preseason camp for the starting position.Nick Hill (5-8, 190, So.) will be the main kickoff returner after he produced one of the best years statistically in Michigan State history. Hill’s 999 kick return yards were the second most in a MSU single-season and eighth most in the Big Ten single-season record books, and he ranked fourth in the Big Ten with his 26.3-yard kickoff return average. He had five returns of 40-plus yards and 10 returns of 30-plus yards. Hill also will be looked to return punts this season with Keshawn Martin moving on to the NFL.

OVERALL

With more conference wins than any other Big Ten team the past four seasons, the pieces are in place for Michigan State to make another run at a conference championship and reach its ultimate destination: the Rose Bowl. “I think we’ve laid a great foundation,” said Dantonio. “We’ve won more maybe in the past couple years than maybe ever before. But with that being said, we’re still not to where we need to go and we still have different things we need to be challenged with. “That’s the exciting part of football. It makes football a great sport. You have all these positions that have to marry up and become one at the end of the day. At the end of the day, it’s how we play with energy. We have to focus on that in every aspect we can, and talk about how we’re going to play as a team and a program, because that’s a day to day thing. You have to be up every single day. You can’t afford a day where you’re just going through the motions and being complacent, because if you are, somebody’s catching you, no question.”

Johnny Adams has eight career interceptions and ranked seventh in the nation last season with 141 interception return yards.

In just five seasons, Mark Dantonio has restored the pride and tradition of Spartan football while transforming Michigan State into an annual Big Ten Championship contender.

A Zanesville, Ohio, native with Midwest ties, Dantonio has led Michigan State to a school-record five consecutive bowl appearances and back-to-back 11-win seasons for the first time in program history. The Spartans have recorded 24 Big Ten victories the past four seasons, the most of any team in the conference, claimed a share of the Big Ten Championship in 2010, and won the inaugural Big Ten Legends Divisions title in 2011.

Dantonio has 32 years of collegiate coaching experience and coached in his 16th bowl game in the 2012 Outback Bowl as the Spartans defeated No. 18 Georgia in triple overtime, 33-30. It marked Dantonio’s third New Year’s Day game as

a head coach, as he also guided MSU to appearances in the 2009 Capital One Bowl against Georgia and the 2011 Capital One Bowl against Alabama.

Dantonio owns a 44-22 record (.667) at Michigan State, which marks the most wins by a Spartan head coach in his first five seasons. He has won at least nine games in a season three times (9 in 2008, school-record 11 in 2010, school-record 11 in 2011), tying him with the most seasons of at least nine wins of any coach in program history; he is also the first Spartan coach to accomplish that feat within his first five years.

MSU has won 22 of its last 27 games, dating back to the beginning of the 2010 season; the 22 wins over the last two seasons are the highest two-year total in school history and ties for seventh most among NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision teams during that same period.

Thanks to its 33-30 triple-overtime victory over Georgia in the 2012 Outback Bowl, Michigan State (11-3) finished No. 10 in the final USA TODAY Coaches Poll and No. 11 in the final Associated Press Poll. It marked MSU’s third Top 10 finish in the history of the USA TODAY Coaches Poll and its first since 1999 (No. 7 with a 10-2 record). It also marked the third time in the last four years that MSU has appeared in the final polls, as the Spartans ranked No. 24 (both polls; 9-4 record) at the conclusion of the 2008 season and No. 14 (both polls; 11-2 record) in 2010.

In addition, the Spartans have been ranked in the USA TODAY Poll for 29 straight weeks, the longest streak for the program since the national newspaper began administering the poll in 1991. MSU also has been ranked in the Bowl Championship Series standings for a school-record 16 consecutive weeks.

Michigan State’s 11 wins in 2011 tied the school single-season record, as the Spartans became bowl eligible for a school-record fifth consecutive year. MSU won the Big Ten Legends Division title outright with a 7-1 conference record, improving to a league-best 14-2 in Big Ten play the past two seasons. The Spartans came up just short of their first Rose Bowl appearance since 1988, falling to Wisconsin, 42-39, in the inaugural Big Ten Championship Game.

Michigan State defeated five bowl-bound teams, including a victory over the Badgers earlier in the season on Oct. 22 in Spartan Stadium, 37-31, on a last-second, 44-yard touchdown pass from Kirk Cousins to Keith Nichol. MSU also beat No. 11 Michigan for the fourth-straight year on Oct. 15 in Spartan Stadium, 28-14, a first for the program since 1959-62. Other landmark victories included a 10-7 win at Ohio State on Oct. 1, MSU’s first win in Ohio Stadium since

MARK DANTONIO HEAD COACH SIXTH SEASON

1998, and a 37-21 victory at Iowa on Nov. 12, the Spartans’ first triumph in Kinnick Stadium since 1989.

The Spartans claimed the Legends Division outright with a 31-17 victory at Northwestern on Nov. 26 and closed the regular season with a 4-0 record in November. Under Dantonio, MSU has compiled a 13-3 record in the month of November, including seven-straight wins. Michigan State also went a perfect 7-0 at home for the second-straight year, posting back-to-back perfect home seasons for the first time since 1955-56, and extended its home winning streak to 14 games.

Known as one of the top defensive minds in the country, Dantonio and his staff assembled the No. 1 defense in the Big Ten in 2011, as the Spartans led the conference in rushing defense (100.5 yards per game), total defense (277.4 ypg.), interceptions (18), sacks (45), tackles for loss (105), and third-down defense (.337). In addition, the Spartans ranked among the NCAA FBS Top 20 in seven statistical categories, including sixth in total defense, seventh in sacks, ninth in rushing defense, 10th in scoring defense (18.4 ppg.), 11th in pass defense (176.9 ypg.), 14th in tackles for loss (105) and 18th in pass efficiency defense (113.3 rating).

On the offensive side of the ball, quarterback Kirk Cousins and wide receiver B.J. Cunningham rewrote the Michigan State record book. Cousins, the winningest quarterback in school history with 27 victories as a starter, finished his career as MSU’s all-time leader in touchdown passes (66), passing yards (9,131), completions (723), passing efficiency (146.1 rating), 200-yard passing games (26) and total offense (9,004 yards). He also set a single-season MSU record with 25 passing TDs in 2011. Cousins’ favorite target was Cunningham, who left East Lansing as Michigan State’s career leader in both receptions (218) and receiving yards (3,316). In his senior year, Cunningham tied a school record with 79 receptions and posted eight 100-yard receiving games, the most in an MSU single-season.

The Spartans were rewarded for their excellent season as 19 players received All-Big Ten recognition on the first team, second team or honorable mention, including a school-record 11 on defense. The Spartans had four first-team All-Big Ten selections: cornerback Johnny Adams (coaches), offensive guard Joel Foreman (coaches and media), safety Trenton Robinson (media) and defensive tackle Jerel Worthy (coaches and media).

Worthy also earned consensus first-team All-America honors, marking the fourth-straight year Michigan State has had a consensus first-team All-American (Javon Ringer: 2008; Greg Jones: 2009, 2010), which is a school record.

Following the successful 2011 campaign, six Spartans were selected in the 2012 National Football League Draft, the most since 1999: Worthy (Green Bay Packers, second round; Cousins (Washington Redskins, fourth round); Keshawn Martin (Houston Texans, fourth round), Robinson (San Francisco 49ers, sixth round), Cunningham (Miami Dolphins, sixth round) and Edwin Baker (San Diego, seventh round). A total of 13 Spartans have been drafted under Dantonio.

From his first day on the job, Dantonio has pledged to support student-athletes as they pursue excellence, both in the classroom and on the playing field. In his first five seasons, nearly 80 percent (72 of 91) of his Michigan State players who have completed their eligibility have earned their undergraduate degrees.

Dantonio, who led Michigan State to a school-record 11 wins in 2010 and a share of its first Big Ten Championship since 1990, was named the Dave McClain Big Ten Coach of the Year, as selected by the conference’s media panel. A finalist for the Paul “Bear” Bryant, Eddie Robinson and Liberty Mutual National Coach of the Year Awards, Dantonio helped manage the third-biggest turnaround among NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision teams during the regular season, as the Spartans improved from 6-7 in 2009 to 11-1 in 2010. He was also named the AFCA (American Football Coaches Association) Region 3 Coach of the Year, and earned National Coach of the Year honors from CBSSports.com, Scout.com and Rivals.com.

Thanks to its 28-22 victory at Penn State in the regular-season finale, Michigan State recorded its first win in State College since 1965 and finished in a tie with Wisconsin for the 2010 Big Ten Championship. With successive wins over Minnesota, Purdue and Penn State to close out the regular season, the Spartans posted a perfect 3-0 record in November for the first time since 1999.

MSU also dealt Wisconsin its only loss of the 2010 regular season, 34-24, in the Big Ten opener. The Spartans finished the season ranked No. 14 in both The Associated Press and USA TODAY/Coaches’ Polls.

A total of 16 Spartans received All-Big Ten recognition on the first team, second team or honorable mention, including senior linebacker Greg Jones, senior punter Aaron Bates, sophomore running back Edwin Baker and sophomore placekicker Dan Conroy, who each earned All-Big Ten first-team honors from the media. One of the top linebackers in school history, Jones was named a first-team consensus All-American for the second-straight season, becoming only the third Spartan to accomplish the feat. He also became

just the seventh player in program history to receive first-team All-Big Ten honors three times. Jones (New York Giants) and cornerback Chris L. Rucker (Indianapolis Colts) were selected in the sixth round of the 2011 NFL Draft.

Led by Jones and one of the most explosive offenses in the Big Ten, the Spartans earned their third consecutive bowl bid in 2009.

A consensus first-team All-American, Jones became the first Spartan to win Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year accolades after recording 154 tackles, finishing first in the conference and third nationally in 2009. He also led the team and ranked among the national leaders in tackles for loss (14 for 69 yards) and sacks (9 for 53 yards). Jones was rated the No. 1 linebacker in the nation by CollegeFootballNews.com and earned the Linebacker Trophy (Linebacker of the Year) by the College Football Performance Awards.

In addition, Worthy was named a Freshman All-American, marking the third-straight year a Spartan landed on a Freshman All-America Team, and cornerback Jeremy Ware was chosen by the Oakland Raiders in the seventh round of the 2010 NFL Draft.

Offensively, Michigan State featured the No. 2 passing attack in the Big Ten, averaging nearly 270 yards per game. The Spartans also finished second in the league in scoring (29.7 points per game) and third in total offense (406.2 ypg.). MSU established a school record with 28 touchdown passes in 2009, and the 3,502 passing yards ranked second in the school record book.

The Spartan passing game was built around wide receiver Blair White, who was a first-team All-Big Ten selection by the coaches while recording career highs in receptions (70), TD catches (9) and receiving yards (990), all of which rank among MSU’s Top 10 single-season leaders. MSU’s special teams featured the school’s all-time leading kicker in Brett Swenson, who scored 377 career points. A first-team All-Big Ten selection and Lou Groza Award semifinalist, Swenson also became MSU’s career leader in field goals (71 made) and extra points (164 made) during the 2009 season. He closed out his career ranked among the Big Ten’s all-time leaders in kick scoring (second), field goals (tied for third), total points (fourth) and extra points (sixth).

One of 15 semifinalists for the George Munger Coach of the Year Award, Dantonio had a breakthrough season as a head coach in 2008. Under his leadership, the Spartans went 9-3 in the regular season and compiled a 6-2 record in the Big Ten, the best league mark for the program since 1999. Michigan State defeated five bowl-bound teams, with victories over Florida Atlantic, Notre Dame, Iowa, Northwestern and Wisconsin. The Spartans, who made their first New Year’s Day Bowl appearance in nine seasons, finished the season ranked No. 24 in both the Associated Press and USA Today Polls.

Three Michigan State players were named first-team All-Big Ten by the league’s head coaches: senior running back Javon Ringer, senior safety Otis Wiley and Jones. A total of 15 Spartans received All-Big Ten recognition on the first team, second team or honorable mention.

Ringer became MSU’s first consensus All-American since 2004, earning first-team accolades from Walter Camp and the Associated Press. The Doak Walker Award finalist had one of the finest seasons in Spartan history, scoring a school-record 22 touchdowns and rushing for 1,637 yards, which ranked second in the school record books. Ringer was selected by the Tennessee Titans in the fifth round of the 2009 NFL Draft.

In his first season as head coach at Michigan State, Dantonio sparked a three-game turnaround as the Spartans finished the 2007 regular season with a 7-5 record, securing the program’s first bowl bid in four years with a berth against Boston College in the Champs Sports Bowl in Orlando, Fla. Dantonio became just the third first-year coach in Michigan State history to earn a postseason bowl bid, joining Saban (1995 Independence Bowl vs. LSU) and John L. Smith (2003 Alamo Bowl vs. Nebraska).

Michigan State (7-6 overall) produced seven victories despite playing one of the nation’s most demanding schedules, as the Spartans’ 2007 opponents had a combined record of 75-57 (.568) during the regular season. The Spartans went 4-3 in games played against bowl-bound teams in 2007. Michigan State lost six games by a combined total of 31 points, including two in overtime (Northwestern and Iowa). All six games were decided by seven points or less.

Michigan State finished the year strong, winning its final two games of the regular season for the first time since 1999 with victories at Purdue and over Penn State, both bowl-bound teams. Dantonio became the first coach in Spartan history to begin his initial season 4-0, as Michigan State opened the 2007 campaign with wins over UAB, Bowling Green, Pittsburgh and Notre Dame. With the 31-14 victory over the Irish, the Spartans became the first opponent to win six-straight games in the 77-year history of Notre Dame Stadium.

In 2007, Michigan State featured one of the Big Ten’s most prolific offensive attacks. The Spartans ranked second in the conference in scoring offense (33.1 points per game), third in rushing offense (198.2 yards per game) and fourth in total offense (416.8 ypg.). Michigan State also was listed among the NCAA’s top 30 in rushing offense (No. 25) and scoring offense (No. 29). The Spartans scored a school single-season record 430 points and produced Top 10 single-season totals in six other offensive categories.

Michigan State also displayed dramatic improvement on the defensive side of the football in 2007. The Spartans ranked fourth in the Big Ten and No. 30 nationally in rushing defense, allowing just 125.9 ypg. Michigan State held four opponents under 50 yards rushing (UAB, Bowling Green, Indiana and Boston College). After finishing eighth in the Big Ten and No. 88 nationally in total defense in 2006, the Spartans improved to fourth in the league and No. 32 in the NCAA, allowing 345.5 ypg.

Three Spartans from the 2007 team were selected in the 2008 NFL Draft: wide receiver Devin Thomas (Washington Redskins, second round), tight end Kellen Davis (Chicago Bears, fifth round) and defensive end Ervin Baldwin (Chicago Bears, seventh round).

Dantonio, who served as head coach at Cincinnati for three seasons prior to his return to East Lansing, became Michigan State University’s 24th head football coach on Nov. 27, 2006. He previously spent six years as an assistant coach at Michigan State from 1995-2000. In eight seasons as a head coach, Dantonio has collected a 62-39 record (.614), including seven bowl invitations.

The 56-year old Dantonio established himself as one of the nation’s up-and-coming coaches during his three-year tenure at Cincinnati, where he compiled an 18-17 overall record and led the program in its transition from Conference USA to the BIG EAST Conference.

In 2006, Dantonio led the Bearcats to a 7-5 overall record and a 4-3 BIG EAST mark, making Cincinnati bowl eligible for the second time in three years. Dantonio accomplished the feat against the second-toughest schedule in the country, as UC’s opponents compiled a 69-42 record.

Dantonio became only the second head coach in Cincinnati history (along with Sid Gillman) to take the Bearcats to a bowl game in his first season in 2004. The Bearcats’ went 7-5 in 2004, including a 5-3 mark in Conference USA, and defeated Marshall (32-14) in the Fort Worth Bowl.

Prior to his appointment at Cincinnati, Dantonio served as the defensive coordinator under Jim Tressel at Ohio State for three seasons, where his defensive unit helped the Buckeyes to a combined record of 32-6. Dantonio assembled the defense which led Ohio State to the 2002 National Championship, as the Buckeyes ranked second in the NCAA in scoring defense (13.1 ppg) and third in rushing defense (77.7 ypg.).

Dantonio spent six years (1995-2000) as Michigan State’s secondary coach, including five seasons under Nick Saban and one under Bobby Williams. He was promoted to associate head coach in 2000. During his six-year tenure as an assistant, the Spartans compiled a 39-30-1 record, including a 10-2 mark in 1999.

Dantonio came to Michigan State following four seasons under Glen Mason at Kansas (1991-94) where he coached the defensive secondary. He previously spent five years at Youngstown State under Tressel, helping the Penguins to three trips to the NCAA I-AA playoffs.

His coaching credits also include stops at Akron (defensive secondary, 1985), Ohio State (graduate assistant, 1983-84), Butler (Kan.) Junior College (defensive coordinator, 1982), Purdue (graduate assistant, 1981) and Ohio University (graduate assistant, 1980). During his stint as a graduate assistant under Earle Bruce at Ohio State, the Buckeyes played in the 1983 Fiesta and 1984 Rose Bowls.

Now in his sixth season as Michigan State’s defensive coordinator, Pat Narduzzi has developed the Spartans into one of the top defensive teams in the nation.

In 2011, Narduzzi’s defense had its best showing since his arrival in East Lansing. Michigan State led the Big Ten in rushing defense (100.5 yards per game), total defense (277.4 ypg.), interceptions (18), sacks (45), tackles for loss (105), and third-down defense (.337). In addition, the Spartans ranked among the conference leaders in passing efficiency defense (second with a 113.3 rating), turnover margin (third at +0.50 per game), red-zone defense (third at .763), passing defense (third at 176.9 ypg.), scoring defense (third at 18.4 points per game) and takeaways (fourth with 25).

MSU also ranked among the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision Top 20 in seven statistical categories: sixth in total defense, seventh

in sacks, ninth in rushing defense, 10th in scoring defense, 11th in pass defense, 14th in tackles for loss and 18th in pass efficiency defense. The Spartans held five teams to their season lows in total offense (Florida Atlantic, Central Michigan, Ohio State, Michigan, Indiana) during the regular season and on five occasions, MSU limited their opponent to seven points or less.

The foundation of Michigan State’s defense is stopping the run, and Narduzzi’s unit once again proved it could stop the rush in 2011, ranking first in the Big Ten and ninth in the nation, allowing just 100.5 yards per game. Four teams (FAU, CMU, Ohio State, Georgia) posted their season lows in rushing against the Spartans, and MSU held seven opponents to under-100 yards rushing. MSU has finished in the top 30 nationally in rushing defense three of the past five seasons (30th in 2007; 24th in 2009).

Every single MSU starter on defense – which featured only two seniors – received All-Big Ten recognition, either on the first team, second team, or honorable mention, establishing a school record. Three players earned first-team All-Big Ten honors, including junior defensive tackle Jerel Worthy, who also garnered consensus first-team All-America accolades. Worthy was the third Spartan to be named an All-American under Narduzzi, joining Jonal Saint-Dic (2007) and Greg Jones (2009-10).

Senior safety Trenton Robinson (media), who ranked second in the Big Ten with four interceptions, and junior cornerback Johnny Adams (coaches), who led MSU with nine passes defended, were also named to the first team. During Narduzzi’s five years at MSU, his players have earned All-Big Ten honors 41 times, including six different first-team selections.

In addition to the three first-team selections, eight more Spartan defenders received All-Big Ten recognition on either the second team or honorable mention. Sophomore defensive lineman William Gholston and sophomore safety Isaiah Lewis were named to the second team by the coaches and the media, sophomore linebacker Max Bullough picked up second-team honors from the coaches, and sophomore linebacker Denicos Allen garnered second-team accolades from the media. Sophomore cornerback Darqueze Dennard, junior linebacker Chris Norman, senior defensive tackle Kevin Pickelman and red-shirt freshman defensive lineman Marcus Rush all earned honorable mention.

Worthy was selected in the second round of the 2012 National Football League Draft by the Green Bay Packers, while Robinson was chosen in the sixth round by the San Francisco 49ers. A total of six Spartan defensive players have been drafted in Narduzzi’s tenure.

For the second year in a row, Narduzzi was named the National Coordinator of the Week by Rivals.com following Michigan State’s victory over Michigan. The Spartans held Michigan to regular-season lows in total offense (250 yards), rushing (82 yards) and points (14) in 2011.

Narduzzi has served as a defensive coordinator under Dantonio the past eight seasons, including three years at Cincinnati (2004-06).

Dan Roushar is in his sixth year on the staff at Michigan State and his second as offensive coordinator. He also coaches the tight ends.

A 28-year coaching veteran, it marks the fifth time that Roushar has been an offensive coordinator in his career. Roushar has also served as offensive coordinator at Illinois (2004), Northern Illinois (1998-2002), Ball State (1994) and Butler (1989-92).

Under Roushar’s direction in 2011, Michigan State’s offense was one of the highest scoring in school history. The Spartans averaged 31.0 points per game, which ranked third in the Big Ten and was the ninth-highest average in a MSU season. The Spartans set school records for most points (434) and passing yards (3,535 yards) in a season, and also ranked among the Top 10 in school history in total offense (second with 5,466 yards), touchdown passes (third with 26) and passing yards per game (fifth with 252.5 ypg.).

The passing game, led by the winningest quarterback in school history in Kirk Cousins, ranked second in the Big Ten. In his final season wearing the Green and White, Cousins had his best year, setting a MSU single-season record with 25 passing TDs while throwing for a career-high 3,316 yards.

Cunningham set a school record with eight 100-yard receiving games in 2011 and tied the MSU single-season record with 79 receptions.

A total of seven Spartans on offense received All-Big Ten recognition, including senior left guard Joel Foreman (first team), who became the first MSU offensive lineman to garner first-team all-conference honors since 2004. Cousins (coaches), Cunningham (coaches and media) and senior tight end Brian Linthicum (coaches) garnered second-team accolades, while senior wide receiver Keshawn Martin, junior right guard Chris McDonald and sophomore running back Le’Veon Bell earned honorable mention.

Linthicum led all Spartan tight ends with 31 catches for 364 yards, sophomore Dion Sims tied for third on the team with three touchdown receptions, and fifth-year senior Garrett Celek proved all season long to be one of the team’s leading blockers.

Four Spartans on the offensive side of the ball were selected in the 2012 National Football League Draft, including Cousins (fourth round, Washington Redskins), Martin (fourth round, Houston Texans), Cunningham (sixth round, Miami Dolphins) and running back Edwin Baker (seventh round, San Diego Chargers).

In his four seasons coaching the offensive line at Michigan State (2007-10), Roushar’s linemen earned All-Big Ten recognition on eight occasions.

Roushar arrived in East Lansing after serving as offensive line coach under Dantonio at Cincinnati for two seasons (2005-06).

Prior to joining the Cincinnati coaching staff, he worked with the running backs at Illinois for two seasons (2003-04), adding the duties of offensive coordinator in 2004.

Roushar spent six years as offensive line coach at Northern Illinois (1997-2002), where he also served as the offensive coordinator for the final five seasons. During his tenure at NIU, the Huskies earned a share of back-to-back Mid-American Conference West Division titles in 2001 and 2002.

Harlon Barnett, a four-year letterwinner at Michigan State (1986-89) as a defensive back who was named a captain as a senior, is in his sixth season as the Spartans’ secondary coach. Barnett returned to East Lansing with seven years of professional playing experience and nine seasons of coaching experience under his belt.

In June 2012, Barnett was one of eight football coaches to participate in the Champion Forum, the top tier of the NCAA’s coaching academy programs, held in conjunction with the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Convention in Dallas.

Barnett mentored one of the top secondaries in the nation in 2011, as MSU led the Big Ten and ranked tied for 12th in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision with 18 interceptions. MSU also ranked among the FBS leaders in pass defense (11th with 176.9 ypg.) and pass efficiency defense (18th with a 113.3 rating). In addition, the Spartans were

second in the Big Ten in passes defended (60) and third in pass break-ups (42).

For the second straight year, all four of MSU’s starters in the secondary garnered All-Big Ten recognition. Senior safety Trenton Robinson, a second-team all-conference selection in 2010, earned first-team honors from the media in 2011 after tying for second in the Big Ten with four interceptions. Junior cornerback Johnny Adams, also a second-team pick by the coaches as a sophomore, raised his game even more to garner first-team accolades. Adams led the team with nine passes defended (three interceptions, six pass break-ups) and ranked seventh in the FBS with 141 interception return yards.

The Spartans returned four interceptions for touchdowns in 2011, including two by second-team All-Big Ten selection Isaiah Lewis, who also tied for second in the Big Ten with four picks. Lewis had a TD return of 37 yards against Central Michigan and sealed the win over Michigan with a 39-yard runback for a score in the fourth quarter.

Although he missed three games due to injury, talented sophomore cornerback Darqueze Dennard still garnered honorable mention All-Big Ten by the media. Dennard tied a Spartan-bowl record with two interceptions in the 2012 Outback Bowl win over No. 18 Georgia, including a 38-yard return for a touchdown.

Barnett’s players have earned All-Big Ten honors 13 times since his arrival as secondary coach at MSU, including three first-team selections (Robinson, Adams in 2011; Otis Wiley in 2008). In addition, three Spartans have been selected in the National Football League Draft: Jeremy Ware (2010, Oakland Raiders, seventh round); Chris L. Rucker (2011, Indianapolis Colts, sixth round) and Robinson (2012, San Francisco 49ers, sixth round).

During the Spartans’ Big Ten Championship season in 2010, Michigan State finished among the national leaders in pass break-ups (16th with 52), passes defended (17th with 69) and interceptions (tied for 23rd with 17), and was one of just two schools in the league (Iowa) to have all four of their starters in the defensive backfield earn postseason recognition from the conference.

Barnett spent three seasons as secondary coach on Mark Dantonio’s staff at Cincinnati. Barnett landed his first collegiate coaching job as a graduate assistant at LSU in 2003 under Nick Saban, where he was a part of the Tigers’ National Championship campaign.

A native of Cincinnati, Barnett was a three-year starter for Coach George Perles at Michigan State. He was a member of the 1987 Big Ten and 1988 Rose Bowl championship team that went 9-2-1 overall and finished eighth in the final polls. Barnett, who also played in the 1989 Gator Bowl and the 1989 Aloha Bowl during his time as a Spartan player, earned first-team All-America recognition by The Sporting News as a senior in 1989.

Following his impressive career at Michigan State, Barnett was taken in the fourth round of the 1990 NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns, where he played for three seasons (1990-92). He spent two seasons at New England (1993-94) and two more with Minnesota (1995-96).

Now in his sixth year as the defensive line coach at Michigan State, Ted Gill has continued his career-long trend of developing productive and impactful players.

Gill molded a young line in 2011 that featured only one senior to help the Spartans lead the Big Ten in rushing defense (100.5 yards per game), total defense (277.4 ypg.), sacks (45), tackles for loss (105) and third-down defense (.337). In addition, MSU ranked among the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision Top 20 in seven statistical categories, including total defense (sixth), sacks (seventh), rushing defense (ninth), scoring defense (10th) and tackles for loss (14th).

The line was instrumental in stopping the run, as four teams (Florida Atlantic, Central Michigan, Ohio State, Georgia) posted their season lows in rushing against the Spartans. MSU, which also held seven opponents to under-100 yards rushing, finished in the top 30

nationally in rushing defense for the third time in the past five seasons (30th in 2007; 24th in 2009).

Junior defensive tackle Jerel Worthy earned consensus first-team All-America honors to become MSU’s first All-American at the position since 1971. Worthy, whose presence in the middle was one of the main factors for MSU’s stout defense, also earned first-team All-Big Ten accolades from the coaches and media. He was the second Spartan to be named an All-American under Gill (Jonal Saint-Dic: 2007).

Worthy was selected in the second round of the 2012 National Football League Draft by the Green Bay Packers, becoming the second Spartan defensive lineman to be drafted during Gill’s tenure. Ervin Baldwin was a seventh-round draft choice by the Chicago Bears in 2008.

Sophomore defensive end William Gholston, in his first year as a starter, developed into one of the Big Ten’s top players on the defensive line in 2011. The second-team All-Big Ten selection ranked second on the team and tied for seventh in the Big Ten with 16.0 tackles for loss and compiled 29 tackles in a two-game span against Nebraska (career-high 15 tackles) and Minnesota (14). Gholston tied a Spartan-bowl record with 5.0 tackles for loss, including a career-high 2.0 sacks, in the 2012 Outback Bowl win over No. 18 Georgia.

Opposite of Gholston, red-shirt freshman Marcus Rush was named the Big Ten Freshman Defensive MVP by ESPN.com and was also named a first-team Freshman All-American by Sporting News and the Football Writers Association of America. Rush, an honorable mention All-Big Ten pick, ranked first among freshmen in the conference in tackles for loss (12.0 for 45 yards) and sacks (4.0 for 23 yards), and also had 58 tackles.

Before suffering a season-ending knee injury in the Big Ten Championship Game, senior defensive tackle Kevin Pickelman, an honorable mention All-Big Ten choice by the media, was having his best year as a Spartan, recording career highs in tackles (37), tackles for loss (7.5 for 39 yards) and sacks (4.0 for 31 yards).

During Michigan State’s Big Ten Championship season in 2010, Gill’s defensive line helped the Spartans rank among the national leaders in several categories during the regular season, including scoring defense (No. 26 allowing 20.1 ppg.) and total defense (No. 31 allowing 337.8 ypg.). The line was instrumental in stopping the run, as the Spartans ranked third in the Big Ten and 21st nationally in the regular season by giving up just 121.9 rushing yards a game.

Spartan defensive linemen have garnered All-Big Ten recognition 10 times during Gill’s tenure. In addition, Ogemdi Nwagbuo, who Gill mentored in 2007, recently finished his third season playing in the NFL.

Gill arrived in East Lansing with 32 years of coaching experience, including four seasons as the defensive line coach at Cincinnati (2003-06).

Brad Salem, a former head coach at NCAA Division II Augustana College in Sioux Falls, S.D., is in his third year as running backs coach at Michigan State and his second as recruiting coordinator.

Salem mentored one of the most talented backfields in the Big Ten in 2011, as sophomore Le’Veon Bell and junior Edwin Baker combined for 1,613 rushing yards (115.2 yards per game) – the second most of any running back duo in the conference – to go along with 18 rushing touchdowns.

After earning Big Ten All-Freshman honors in 2010, Bell had a breakout season last fall, leading the team in rushing touchdowns (13) and rushing (948 yards; 67.7 ypg.); those marks ranked fifth and eighth in the Big Ten, respectively. Through two seasons, Bell has accounted for 1,553 rushing yards and 21 TDs, and his 5.37 rushing average is currently 14th best in MSU history.

A first-team All-Big Ten selection by the media as a sophomore, Baker led MSU with a season-high 167 yards rushing in the Spartans’ fourth-straight win over Michigan in 2011. He finished the season with 665 rushing yards (47.5 ypg.) and closed his career ranked among MSU’s all-time leaders in rushing yards (12th with 2,293) and carries (13th with 462). Baker was selected in the seventh round of the 2012 National Football League Draft by the San Diego Chargers.

Under Salem’s direction in his first season in 2010, Michigan State’s running backs improved their totals from 2009. The resurgent running game was led by Baker, who became just the sixth sophomore in MSU history to reach the 1,000-yard milestone, as he compiled 1,201 rushing yards. In addition, he ranked fourth in the Big Ten and 30th nationally in rushing, averaging 92.4 ypg., and led the team and ranked seventh in the conference with 13 rushing TDs.

Baker wasn’t the only one making noise in the backfield in 2010. Bell exploded onto the scene in the first half of the season, collecting 549 yards and eight rushing touchdowns, including a 141-yard effort in the season opener against Western Michigan, the most rushing yards ever by a Spartan in their collegiate debut. Bell closed his first season with 605 yards rushing and was named to the ESPN.com and Rivals.com All-Big Ten Freshman Team.

In five seasons (2005-09) as head coach at Augustana College, Salem compiled a 31-26 record.

Salem led Augustana College to back-to-back 8-4 records and consecutive trips to the Mineral Water Bowl in 2008-09. The eight wins matched the school single-season record. In its first two seasons as members of the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference, Augustana finished fourth and tied for third, respectively, in the final standings and had 10 players earn South Division first-team all-conference honors.

After getting off to a 3-0 start in 2009, the Vikings made their first appearance in the American Football Coaches Association Division II Top 25 since 1989. Augustana finished fifth in the NSIC in total offense in 2009, averaging 400.9 yards per game.

In 2008, Augustana won six of its last eight games, including a 37-16 victory over Missouri Western State in the Mineral Water Bowl in Excelsior Springs, Mo., as the Vikings rushed for 281 yards and five TDs against the Griffons.

In his first season as head coach in 2005, Salem guided Augustana to a 6-5 record - the program’s first winning season in three years. Prior to being promoted to head coach, he spent two seasons as an assistant coach under Jim Heinitz, serving as quarterbacks coach in 2003 and offensive coordinator in 2004.

Salem shares his love of coaching football with his father Joe, former head coach at South Dakota (1966-74), Northern Arizona (1975-78) and Minnesota (1979-83); as well as his older brother Tim, running backs coach and special teams coordinator at Illinois; and his twin brother Brent, offensive coordinator at O’Gorman High School.

Terrence Samuel, a 14-year coaching veteran who played his collegiate football at Purdue, is in his second year as wide receivers coach at Michigan State.

Samuel made an immediate impact at MSU in his first season. He helped tutor fifth-year senior B.J. Cunningham, who became the school’s all-time leader in receptions (218) and receiving yards (3,086). Under Samuel, Cunningham had his finest season as a Spartan, setting career highs in receptions (79), receiving yards (1,306) and touchdown catches (12). Those marks also ranked among MSU’s single-season leaders in receptions (tied for first), receiving yards (third) and TDs (tied for third). In addition, he set the MSU single-season record with eight 100-yard receiving games. Cunningham was a second-team All-Big Ten selection by the coaches and media, and also earned All-America honors from

Phil Steele (fourth team) and SI.com (honorable mention).

Senior Keshawn Martin, an honorable mention All-Big Ten pick, also produced his best numbers in 2011, recording career highs in receptions (66) and receiving yards (777). A multi-dimensional threat, Martin finished his career ranked second in MSU history in punt return yards (659), eighth in kick return yards (1,100), 10th in all-purpose yards (4,013), 11th in receptions (127), 16th in receiving yards (1,714) and tied for 17th in TD receptions (10).

Cunningham (79 catches) and Martin (66) combined for 145 receptions in 2011, the most ever by a receiving duo in a Michigan State season (previous record: 124 by Charles Rogers [67] and Herb Haygood [57] in 2001). Cunningham (1,306 yards) and Martin (777) also produced the most receiving yards of any receiving duo in an MSU season, teaming up for 2,083 receiving yards in 2011 (previous record: Plaxico Burress [1,142] and Gari Scott [843] with 1,985 receiving yards in 1998).

Both of those marks by Cunningham and Martin (145 receptions; 2,083 receiving yards) ranked first among receiving duos in the Big Ten in 2011.

Martin was selected in the fourth round of the 2012 National Football League Draft by the Houston Texas, while Cunningham was picked in the sixth round by the Miami Dolphins.

Samuel spent the 2010 season at Central Michigan under former Spartan quarterback and assistant coach Dan Enos. During his only season at CMU, Samuel mentored Cody Wilson, who posted one of the top individual receiving seasons in school history. Wilson caught 83 passes for 1,137 yards and five TDs, recording just the sixth individual 1,000-yard receiving season in school history. His 83 receptions ranked fifth in school history for a single season, while his 1,137 receiving yards ranked third.

Prior to his stop in Mount Pleasant, Samuel coached receivers at North Dakota State for two seasons (2008-09). In 2008, he worked directly with Kole Heckendorf, who spent the 2009 season with the Detroit Lions.

Samuel arrived at North Dakota State after making a second stop at Nebraska-Omaha. He was the offensive coordinator and running backs coach at Nebraska-Omaha in 2007, helping lead the Mavericks to a 10-1 overall record and North Central Conference Championship.

Samuel coached receivers at Southeast Missouri State in 2006 following his original three-year stint at Nebraska-Omaha. He coached defensive backs at Nebraska-Omaha in 2003 and 2004, then assumed the duties of special teams coordinator and outside linebackers coach in 2005. Samuel mentored All-America linebacker Kenny Onatolu, now a member of the Carolina Panthers, in 2005, and he was part of a coaching staff that led the Mavericks to conference championships in 2004 and 2005.

Samuel began his coaching career at Nebraska-Omaha as a graduate assistant from 1998-2000. He also spent the 2001 and 2002 seasons as a graduate assistant at Arizona.

Mark Staten is in his sixth year on the coaching staff at Michigan State and his second as the offensive line coach. He was promoted to offensive line coach in February 2011 after serving as the tight ends/tackles coach and recruiting coordinator for four years. Staten adds a mix of professional playing experience with a solid coaching background.

Heading into 2011, Michigan State’s offensive line had to replace three starters, but Staten helped mold a young group that featured just one senior starter into one of the best in the Big Ten. Although the Spartans had to use four different starting combinations on the offensive line, including three different starting centers, the unit allowed just 16 sacks, second-fewest in the Big Ten and 19th-fewest in the NCAA FBS.

Fifth-year senior Joel Foreman, who anchored the line from left guard, garnered first-team All-Big Ten honors by the coaches and media to become MSU’s first All-Big Ten first-team selection on the offensive line since 2004. Foreman also received national recognition, getting named on All-America teams by Yahoo! Sports (second team), Phil Steele (third team) and SI.com (honorable mention). He started more games (49) on the offensive line than any other Spartan in school history and tied the school record for most starts at any position.

A starter at right guard every game the past two seasons, right guard Chris McDonald earned honorable mention All-Big Ten accolades by the media.

Center Travis Jackson started 10 of the last 11 games at center after missing the first three games with an ankle injury and went on to earn Freshman All-America honors from Phil Steele (first team) and CollegeFootballNews.com (second team). He was also named to the Big Ten All-Freshman Team by ESPN.com, Yahoo! Sports and BTN.com.

Staten was instrumental in Dan France’s successful move from the defensive line to starting left tackle and Fou Fonoti’s transition from junior college to starting right tackle. Both were first-time starters on the offensive line last season for the Spartans.

As tight ends/tackles coach, Staten’s players collected All-Big Ten honors on seven occasions, including second-team tackle Pete Clifford (2007), second-team tackle Jesse Miller (2008), second-team tight end Charlie Gantt (2010) and second-team tackle D.J. Young (2010). In addition, Staten also helped Kellen Davis have his most productive year as a Spartan in 2007. Davis, a fifth-round NFL Draft pick by the Chicago Bears, recorded career highs in receptions (32), receiving yards (513) and touchdowns (6) as a senior, and has played four seasons with the Bears.

The Spartans had a tight end earn postseason recognition from the Big Ten all four years under Staten, and three of those years a tackle on the offensive line garnered all-conference honors.

As recruiting coordinator, Staten helped put together a 2009 recruiting class that analysts ranked among the nation’s Top 25 (MaxPreps/Tom Lemming No. 12, PrepStar No. 15, Rivals.com No. 17 and Scouts, Inc. No. 21). The Spartans followed that effort with another stellar class in 2010 that was ranked among the nation’s Top 30 (MaxPreps/Tom Lemming No. 22, Rivals.com No. 29).

Following the 2006 regular season, Staten was one of eight assistant coaches to follow head coach Mark Dantonio from Cincinnati to East Lansing. In 2006, Staten tutored team MVP Brent Celek, who set Cincinnati career records for receptions (88), receiving yards (1,114) and TDs (14) by a tight end. Celek, a second-team All-BIG EAST selection as a senior, was chosen by Philadelphia in the fifth round of the 2007 NFL Draft and is currently in his sixth season playing for the Eagles.

Mike Tressel is in his sixth year as the linebackers and special teams coach at Michigan State.

The impressive play of the linebacking unit was one of the main reasons why Michigan State led the Big Ten in rushing defense (100.5 yards per game) and total defense (277.4 ypg.) in 2011.

For the first time since 1990, all three of MSU’s starting linebackers garnered All-Big Ten honors. Sophomore Denicos Allen, who ranked second in the Big Ten in sacks with 11.0 and fourth in tackles for loss with 18.5, was named second-team all-conference by the media. Sophomore middle linebacker Max Bullough picked up second-team accolades from the coaches after leading the Spartans with 89 tackles and junior Chris Norman was named honorable mention after recording career highs in tackles (76) and tackles for loss (6.5).

Tressel also oversees a successful special teams unit that has been one of the best in the Big Ten since his arrival. Junior placekicker Dan Conroy, a first-team All-Big Ten honoree in 2010, was an honorable mention choice in 2011, as he ranked third in the league with 17 field goals and fourth in kick scoring with 7.1 points per game. Punter Mike Sadler ranked among the nation’s leaders in punts inside the 10 (ninth with 10) and punts inside the 20 (tied for 12th with 25) and was named a Freshman All-American by Phil Steele (third team) and CollegeFootballNews.com (honorable mention). On the return teams, senior Keshawn Martin ranked second in the Big Ten and 18th in the FBS in punt returns (11.0 avg.), while Nick Hill’s 999 kick return yards were second most in an MSU single-season.

In his role as linebackers coach, Tressel mentored Greg Jones and Eric Gordon from 2007-10, two of the top linebackers in the nation who combined for 796 tackles in their careers. A back-to-back consensus first-team All-American, Jones became just the seventh player in program history to receive first-team All-Big Ten honors three times. Jones, who ranks among MSU’s all-time leaders in tackles for loss (second with 44.5), tackles (third with 457) and sacks (sixth with 16.5), was selected in the sixth round (No. 185 overall) of the 2011 NFL Draft by the New York Giants.

Gordon started more games (49) than any player in Spartan history, including 40 consecutive starting assignments. He finished his career ranked among MSU’s all-time leaders in tackles for loss (10th with 29), tackles (12th with 331) and sacks (21st with 9.5).

The past five years, MSU has had two first-team All-Big Ten placekickers (Brett Swenson, Conroy), a first-team All-Big Ten punter (Aaron Bates), and has featured conference leaders in both kick returns (Devin Thomas) and punt returns (Martin).

Four of the biggest plays during Michigan State’s 2010 Big Ten Championship season arrived on special teams, including: Bates’ 29-yard completion to Charlie Gantt on a fake field goal in overtime that won the game against Notre Dame; Martin’s 72-yard punt return for a touchdown that gave MSU the lead for good in the win over Wisconsin; Bates’ 21-yard pass to Bennie Fowler on a fake punt in the fourth quarter that sparked MSU’s comeback at Northwestern; and Denicos Allen’s blocked punt late in the fourth quarter against Purdue that led to the game-winning touchdown.

Tressel arrived at Michigan State following the 2006 regular season, as he was one of eight assistants to follow Dantonio to MSU from Cincinnati.

Under the direction of Dave Warner the last five seasons, Spartan quarterbacks have been posting record numbers.

Kirk Cousins, the winningest quarterback in school history with 27 victories as a starter, became MSU’s career record holder for passing touchdowns (66), passing yards (9,131), completions (723), passing efficiency (146.1 rating), total offense (9,004 yards) and 200-yard passing games (26). Cousins’ numbers were some of the best in Big Ten history, as finished his career ranked among the conference’s all-time Top 10 in completion percentage (tied for sixth at .641), passing efficiency rating (seventh), passing yards (10th) and TD passes (tied for 10th).

In his final season wearing the Green and White, Cousins had his best year as a Spartan in 2011, setting a single-season MSU record with 25 TD passes and tying a school record with 11 200-

yard passing games. Cousins also ranked among MSU’s single-season leaders in pass completions (second with 267), passing yards (second with 3,316), pass attempts (second with 419), passing yards per game (third with 236.9 ypg.), total offense (third with 3,227 yards), passing efficiency (seventh at 145.1) and completion percentage (eighth at 63.7).

One of three finalists for the Chicago Tribune Silver Football Award, which is presented to the top player in the Big Ten, Cousins ranked among the conference leaders in passing (second with 236.9 ypg.), TD passes (tied for second with 25), passing efficiency (third with 145.1 rating) and total offense (fifth with 234.1 ypg.). Cousins earned second-team All-Big Ten accolades from the coaches and was a honorable mention All-American by SI.com. Winner of the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award, Cousins was also named one of 10 finalists for the Manning Award and one of 16 semifinalists for the Davey O’Brien Award.

Cousins was selected in the fourth round of the 2012 National Football League Draft by the Washington Redskins.

As a team, the Spartans set a school record with 3,535 passing yards, and the 26 passing TDs were third most in school history.

In his second year as the starter in 2010, Cousins blossomed his junior season and helped lead Michigan State to a share of the Big Ten Championship. He completed a career-high 67 percent of his passes for 2,825 yards and 20 TDs and was an honorable mention All-Big Ten selection. Cousins tied a school record by throwing a TD pass in 16 consecutive games (spanning from 2009 to 2010).

In Cousins’ first year as a starter, the sophomore finished the 2009 season completing 60 percent of his passes for 2,680 yards and 19 TDs. His pass efficiency rating of 142.6 ranked third in the Big Ten and 25th nationally. Warner also tutored Keith Nichol in 2009, who threw for 764 yards and seven scroes while compiling a 143.2 quarterback rating.

Warner mentored Brian Hoyer in 2007 and 2008, and Hoyer responded by becoming one of the most productive quarterbacks in Spartan history. Hoyer ranks among MSU’s career leaders in pass attempts (No. 3 at 896), passing yards (No. 4 with 6,159), pass completions (No. 4 at 500) and TD passes (No. 7 with 35). Warner also developed Hoyer’s game management skills, as the senior captain compiled a 16-11 record as a starter and led the Spartans to back-to-back bowl appearances. After signing a free agent contract in April 2009, Hoyer has worked his way into the back-up quarterback role for the New England Patriots the past three seasons.

Warner has been a quarterbacks coach and/or offensive coordinator or passing game coordinator for 23 of his previous 28 seasons as a college assistant.

Ken Mannie is in his 18th year as Michigan State’s head strength and conditioning coach for football, while additionally directing and overseeing the strength and conditioning programs for all men’s and women’s sports.

The Mountaineers made five-straight appearances in the NCAA I-AA playoffs from 1998-2002. During his tenure, 13 Appalachian State players were invited to National Football League training camps.

Prior to his second stint at Appalachian State, Hoke spent one year as assistant strength and conditioning coach at Texas Tech (1995-96) where he worked primarily with the Red Raiders’ men’s basketball, women’s soccer, softball and track and field programs while assisting football.

Hoke first arrived on the Appalachian State campus in 1992, working for four years as assistant strength and conditioning coach (1992-95).

He began his coaching career as an assistant track and field coach at UNC Wilmington in 1991.

This Owosso, Mich., native revolutionized MAC’s football program during his first of three stints as Aggie coach. Chester Brewer was a four-sport star at Wisconsin, earning All-Western honors in football. A defensive genius, Aggie teams posted shutouts in 49 of the 88 games Brewer coached. His greatest efforts included a 0-0 tie against Fielding Yost’s 1908 Michigan team and a 17-0 shutout over Notre Dame in 1910. Brewer, who later coached at Missouri, died in 1953 at age 77.

An outstanding athlete at Pennsylvania, John Macklin succeeded Chester Brewer as Aggie coach. He was said to have stood about 6-5 and weighed around 250 pounds. Macklin won more than 85 percent of his games at MAC, compiling 29 victories in 34 contests. Among his greatest accomplishments were a 35-20 win over Ohio State in 1912, the first achieved by MAC over a Big Ten team; the school’s first victory over Michigan, 12-7, in 1913; a 6-3 upset win against Penn State in 1914; and a 24-0 shutout of Michigan in 1915. Macklin died in 1949 at the age of 65.

The first Michigan State alumnus to direct an Aggie team was George Gauthier, a quarterback under John Macklin in 1912 and ’13. Though the record was only 4-3, his 1918 club produced one of the most astounding upsets in Aggie history, defeating Knute Rockne’s first Notre Dame team which starred a sophomore back named George Gipp. A year after leaving MAC, Gauthier assumed duties as athletic director and head coach at Ohio Wesleyan, a dual position he held for 34 years. He died in 1964 at the age of 74.

George “Potsy” Clark, an All-America quarterback under the legendary Bob Zuppke at Illinois, served as MAC’s coach for only one season. The Aggies had a losing record, but one of those victories was a record 109-0 rout of Olivet. Among his other stops in college coaching were at Minnesota and Butler. He also served as athletic director at Nebraska, 1945-1953. Clark is probably best known as head coach of the Detroit Lions that won the 1935 NFL title. He died in 1972 at the age of 78.

Michigan football All-American Harry Kipke directed the Spartans for only one season. A Lansing (Mich.) High School graduate, he began his coaching career with a 103-0 victory over Kalamazoo College, but highlights after that were few and far between. Kipke nearly directed State to an upset victory over his alma mater, and that performance probably enticed Michigan to hire him as its coach the very next season. He died in 1972 at the age of 73.

Jim Crowley, one of Notre Dame’s immortal Four Horsemen, joined Michigan State’s staff as its head football coach in 1929. His arrival became the catalyst which transformed a mediocre program into a nationally-respected major power for the first time since the coaching era of John Macklin. “Sleepy Jim” produced four-straight winning seasons for the Spartans. A pair of 0-0 ties against Michigan in 1930 and ’31 broke State’s 14-game losing streak to the Wolverines, a span which saw UM outscore MSC by a total of 392-9. A night game loss at Georgetown spoiled the Spartans’ otherwise undefeated season in 1930. He was named head coach at Fordham in 1933, becoming the architect of the “Seven Blocks of Granite.” Crowley died in 1986 at the age of 83.

Chosen to replace Potsy Clark when a deal with Notre Dame’s Knute Rockne fell through, Albert Barron became the ninth man to coach an Aggie football team. A Penn State letterwinner in 1910, ’13 and ’14, Barron had losing seasons in each of his two years in East Lansing.

An outstanding player for both Fielding Yost at Michigan and Amos Alonzo Stagg at Chicago, the roly-poly Ralph Young coached MAC and MSC with only moderate success. However, he brought stability to a program that badly needed it, laying the foundation on which the school’s athletic structure grew. MAC nearly surprised powerful Michigan in its stadium dedication game of 1924, losing 7-0. Young, who also was a fine track and field coach, is best known for his success as State’s athletic director, 1923-54. He died in 1962 at the age of 72.

Charlie Bachman, another Notre Dame alumnus, succeeded Jim Crowley as head football coach at Michigan State, coming to East Lansing after a successful stint at Florida. A teammate of Knute Rockne, Bachman employed the Notre Dame system and forged 10 winning seasons in 13 years. During his second season with the Spartans in 1934, he led State to an 8-1 record, which included a 16-0 victory over Michigan, the school’s first since 1915. That marked the first of four-straight wins over UM. MSC posted another 8-1 regular-season record in 1937 and received the school’s first bid to a postseason bowl game, the 1938 Orange Bowl. Among Bachman’s greatest Spartan players were guard Sid Wagner, State’s first All-American since 1915, halfback John Pingel and fullback Jack Breslin. Bachman died in 1985 at the age of 93.

One of the most popular coaches in the history of college football was Michigan State’s personable Duffy Daugherty. An undergraduate star for Syracuse, he was a member of Biggie Munn’s staff there in 1946 when State hired Munn. Daugherty served initially as line coach at MSU, tutoring such Spartan standouts as Don Coleman and Frank Kush. Then, following State’s 1954 Rose Bowl victory over UCLA, Munn stepped in as athletic director and named Duffy as head coach. Daugherty’s ’55 club went 9-1 and received the Big Ten’s Rose Bowl bid, defeating UCLA, 17-14. His greatest teams, though, came in 1965 and ’66 when those two star-studded squads posted a cumulative record of 19-1-1 and two Big Ten championships. The only loss was a 14-12 defeat at the hands of UCLA in the 1966 Rose Bowl and the lone tie was the monumental 10-10 “Game of the Century” vs. Notre Dame in ’66. Duffy’s 1965 Spartans were a defensive juggernaut and won the No. 1 ranking in the final UPI poll. During Duffy’s 19 seasons at MSU, 29 different players earned first-team All-America honors. The list included such stars as Earl Morrall, Sherman Lewis, George Webster, Clinton Jones, Gene Washington, Bubba Smith, Brad Van Pelt and Billy Joe DuPree. Daugherty’s individual honors included National Coach of the Year laurels in both 1955 and ’65, and induction into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1984. Duffy died in 1987 at the age of 72, in Santa Barbara, Calif.

The most successful Spartan coach of all-time in terms of winning percentage (.857) is former Minnesota All-American Clarence “Biggie” Munn. He came to MSC directly from Syracuse where he served as head coach for only one season. Despite an inauspicious 55-0 drubbing from Michigan in his Spartan debut, Munn quickly turned things around as the team ended the 1947 campaign with a 7-2 record. Workman-like progress continued the next two seasons, but then the Spartans burst onto the national scene in 1950, finishing in the Top 10 in the final wire service polls with an 8-1 mark that included victories over third-ranked Michigan and Notre Dame. Munn compiled a 27-1 worksheet over the next three years, winning back-to-back national championships in 1951 and ’52 with identical 9-0 records. In 1952, Munn earned national Coach of the Year honors from the American Football Coaches Association after the Spartans produced wins over three ranked opponents, including No. 17 Penn State, No. 8 Purdue and No. 6 Notre Dame. MSC ran its winning streak to 28-straight games in 1953 before losing at Purdue, 6-0. In their first season of competition in the Big Ten, the Spartans grabbed a share of the 1953 league championship with a 5-1 record. MSC posted its third consecutive 9-win season in 1953, thanks to its 28-20 victory over UCLA in the 1954 Rose Bowl. In seven seasons at MSC, Munn produced 18 All-Americans, including the great two-way tackle Don Coleman. He was voted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1959. About a week after his team’s Rose Bowl victory, Munn stepped down from coaching to assume the duties as MSC’s athletics director. He served in that capacity for 18 years, building the Spartans into a nationally prominent football program. In 1971, a stroke forced Munn to retire from MSU and four years later in 1975, he died at the age of 66.

Denny Stolz, defensive coordinator under Duffy Daugherty, was the 16th man to direct Spartan football fortunes. The graduate and former head coach at Alma College started off slowly at MSU, but soon built the Spartans into a Big Ten challenger. Stolz’ second club finished a half-game behind Michigan and Ohio State in the 1974 Big Ten standings, earning him conference Coach of the Year honors. The highlight that year was an unforgettable upset victory over the top-ranked Buckeyes at Spartan Stadium. His final MSU team tied for third in the conference standings with the major accomplishment an upset victory at Notre Dame. Stolz left MSU following the 1975 season. He coached at Bowling Green State, 1977-85, and then served as head coach at San Diego State, 1986-88.

Darryl Rogers joined the Spartan football staff following stints at Hayward State and San Jose State in California. Like the two men who preceeded him at Michigan State, Rogers’ first team struggled a bit, but he bounced back big in season number two. The Spartans, who set a conference record for offensive proficiency, finished a half-game behind Michigan and Ohio State with a 6-1-1 Big Ten record. In 1978, MSU shared the Big Ten title with the Wolverines, earning Rogers Big Ten Coach of the Year honors. NCAA probation prohibited State from going to the Rose Bowl. Following the 1979 season, he left MSU for the head coaching position at Arizona State, 1980-84. Following his stint with the Sun Devils, Rogers signed as head coach of the Detroit Lions, 1985-88. During the 1991 season, he served as the head coach of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League. He served as the athletic director at Southern Connecticut State for 10 years, retiring in 2003.

Frank “Muddy” Waters became only the second former Michigan State player to coach the Spartans. The personable coach was named head man at MSU one day before his 57th birthday, following a highly successful career at Hillsdale College and Saginaw Valley State. Waters compiled a 138-46-5 record in 20 seasons at Hillsdale (1954-73) and a 25-26-2 mark in five years at Saginaw Valley (1975-79), while building the program from scratch. Three Spartans – Ray Stachowicz, Morten Andersen and James Burroughs – won All-America honors during Muddy’s tenure at MSU. Thanks to his contributions to small college football in Michigan, Waters was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2000. He died in 2006 at the age of 83.

Former Spartan gridder and assistant coach George Perles saw his dream of becoming head coach of the MSU football program come true when he was named to the position on Dec. 3, 1982. After posting just 10 wins in three seasons prior to his arrival, Perles helped return MSU to national prominence with two bowl appearances in his first three seasons. In 1987, Perles and the Spartans captured the Big Ten title and made the program’s first Rose Bowl appearance since 1966. The Spartans topped USC, 20-17, ending the year at 9-2-1, the most victories by an MSU squad since 1966, along with a No. 8 national ranking. His efforts that season earned him Football News’ Coach of the Year honors. The Rose Bowl began a string of four-straight bowl appearances which included triumphs in the 1989 Aloha and ’90 John Hancock Bowls. The architect of the

dominating Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense during the Super Bowl years (1974-75-78-79), 50 of his players were selected in the NFL Draft, including nine first-rounders. He guided the Spartans to a Big Ten slate of 53-42-3, and to seven bowl games. In 2007, Perles was inducted into the Western Chapter of the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame and the MSU Athletics Hall of Fame. (Career record reflects five 1994 wins forfeited by MSU as part of 1996 self-imposed sanctions.)

Nick Saban became the 20th head football coach in MSU history on Dec. 3, 1994, following a highly successful NFL stint with the Cleveland Browns. As the Browns’ defensive coordinator, he led the NFL’s stingiest scoring defense in 1994 as that unit allowed the sixth-fewest points in league history. His winning ways continued at Michigan State, as he promptly became the first Spartan coach to lead his teams to bowl games in each of his first three seasons, including the 1995 Independence, ’96 Sun and ’97 Aloha Bowls. The Spartans returned to national prominence in 1999, going 9-2, and earning a trip to the 2000 Florida Citrus Bowl. Prior to the bowl game, Saban left to take the head coaching job at LSU. Saban previously coached at MSU, serving as an assistant coach from 1983-87, helping the Spartans to the 1987 Big Ten and ’88 Rose Bowl championships.

Bobby Williams became the 21st head coach in Spartan history when he assumed control of the team on Dec. 5, 1999, after Nick Saban left for LSU. Prior to taking over as head coach, Williams coached Michigan State’s running backs for 10 years. He made his head-coaching debut on Jan. 1, 2000, and led the Spartans to a last-second victory over No. 10 Florida, 37-34, in the Florida Citrus Bowl. With MSU’s 44-35 triumph over No. 20 Fresno State in the 2001 Silicon Valley Football Classic, Williams became the first head coach in Spartan football history to win his first two bowl games.

Michigan State veteran offensive coordinator Morris Watts served as interim head coach for the final three games of the 2002 season. Watts made his head-coaching debut on Nov. 9, 2002, and led the Spartans to a 56-21 victory at Indiana, snapping a four-game losing streak. He became the 11th head coach in school history to produce a win in his Spartan debut. Watts enjoyed three stints as MSU’s offensive coordinator, holding that position for a total of 12 seasons (1986-90, 1992-94 and 1999-2002). He returned to Michigan State in 1999 following a four-year tenure as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at LSU (1995-98).

John L. Smith became Michigan State University’s 23rd head football coach on Dec. 19, 2002. Smith, who inherited a team that went 4-8 in 2002, produced an 8-4 regular-season record in 2003 and earned Dave McClain (Big Ten) Coach of the Year honors. His eight wins marked the most by a first-year coach in Spartan history. Smith came to Michigan State following five seasons at Louisville (1998-2002) where he put together a 41-21 worksheet (.661), including five straight bowl appearances and back-to-back C-USA titles in 2000-01. He posted a 16-18 ledger (.471) in three seasons at Utah State (1995-97) while leading the Aggies to consecutive Big West Conference crowns in 1996-97. His six-year mark of 53-21 (.716) at Idaho (1989-94) included five NCAA I-AA playoff appearances and five Top 20 finishes. Twelve of his 18 teams participated in postseason play.

Mark Dantonio became Michigan State University’s 24th head football coach on Nov. 27, 2006. Under Dantonio, Michigan State has recorded back-to-back 11-win seasons for the first time in program history. The Spartans have won 22 of their last 27 games, dating back to the beginning of the 2010 season, including a 14-2 record in Big Ten regular-season play. In 2011, the Spartans won the Big Ten Legends Division title outright, played in the inaugural Big Ten Championship Game and posted a perfect 7-0 record in Spartan Stadium for the second year in a row. MSU’s 11 wins tied the school single-season record, as the Spartans became bowl eligible for a school-record fifth consecutive year. Thanks to its 33-30 victory over Georgia in the 2012 Outback Bowl, Michigan State (11-3) moved up No. 10 in the final USA TODAY Coaches Poll. In 2010, he was selected Big Ten Coach of the Year after leading Michigan State to a school-record 11 wins and a share of its first conference championship in 20 years. Dantonio compiled an 18-17 record (.514) in three seasons at Cincinnati, including two postseason bowl appearances. Prior to accepting his first head coaching position at Cincinnati, Dantonio spent three years as defensive coordinator under Jim Tressel at Ohio State (2001-03) where he helped the Buckeyes to a combined record of 32-6 (.842), including the 2002 National Championship. He previously spent six seasons as secondary coach at Michigan State (1995-2000), including five years under Nick Saban and one under Bobby Williams.

Old brass SpittoonSince 1950, the winner of the michigan State-Indiana game has been presented the old Brass Spittoon. The trophy was initiated by the junior and senior classes and the mSU student council at michigan State, and soon accepted by the IU Student Senate. The brass spittoon came from one of michigan’s earliest trading posts and is widely believed to be nearly 190 years old. Legend has it that the spittoon was around when both institutions were founded Indiana: in 1820 and mAC in 1855. Since ’50, michigan State leads the series 41-12-1.

land-grant trophySince the renewal of the series in 1993, the winner of the michigan State-Penn State game has been presented the Land-Grant Trophy. The trophy honors the two universities’ unique places in history as the two pioneer land-grant schools in the nation. each institution was founded in 1855, michigan State on feb. 12 and Penn State on feb. 22. The schools were the prototypes after which the land-grant system was patterned. The trophy features pictures of campus landmarks, michigan State’s Beaumont Tower and Penn State’s old main, plus replicas of the Spartan and Nittany Lion. Since 1993, Penn State leads the series 13-5.

Megaphone trophySince 1949, the winner of the michigan State-Notre Dame game has been presented the megaphone Trophy, sponsored jointly by the Detroit alumni clubs of both schools. The megaphone is printed half blue, with a gold ND monogram, and half white, with a green mSC. All previous game scores are listed on the trophy. michigan State and Notre Dame played 36 consecutive seasons from 1959-94 until the two-year interruption of the series in 1995-96.

Paul bunyan trophySince 1953, the winner of the michigan State-michigan game has been presented the Paul Bunyan Trophy. The four-foot wooden statue was donated by then-Governor G. mennen Williams to mark michigan State’s acceptance into the Big Ten. Since ’53, michigan leads the series 34-23-2.

MSU vS. Ranked OppOnentS

In 2011, Michigan State defeated three ranked opponents in the same season for the first time since 2001. Top: Keshawn Martin scored on touchdown receptions of 10 and 13 yards as MSU recorded its fourth-straight win over Michigan, 28-14. Middle: Keith Nichol hauled in a 44-yard Hail Mary pass from Kirk Cousins on the final play of regulation and forced his way into the end zone for the game-winning score, as MSU upset No. 4 Wisconsin, 37-31. Bottom: Darqueze Dennard’s 38-yard interception return for a touchdown helped spark MSU’s second-half comeback against Georgia in the 2012 Outback Bowl.

Ed Bagdon garnered All-America status as a senior in 1949 as chosen by Look, United Press, The Sporting News, New York News, Central Press, Newspaper

Enterprise Association and Tele-News. The recipient of the 1949 Outland Trophy as the nation’s top interior lineman, he was part of a group known as “Duffy’s Toughies” who knocked holes in opposing defenses from his guard position for Spartan backs. He developed a peculiar, but effective, shoulder brush-type block that took tacklers out of the play, but permitted him to keep on his feet and on the move. Named team captain in 1949, he started every game during his varsity career. Following his stint at MSU, he played professionally with the Chicago Cardinals and Washington Redskins.

Carl Banks earned All-America honors as a senior in 1983 from the Associated Press, United Press and The Sporting News. Named the Spartans’ MVP that

season, he recorded 86 tackles, despite opponents rarely running to his side of the field, while closing out his career with 279 hits. Named as college football’s linebacker of the year by the Columbus Touchdown Club, he was named first-team All-Big Ten three times and was MSU’s first non-kicker to be named to the all-league team more than twice. He was taken in the first round (third player overall) by the New York Giants in the ’84 NFL Draft. In 1996, he was selected as a member of the MSU Centennial Super Squad as picked in a poll conducted by the Lansing State Journal.

Harlon Barnett captured first-team All-America recognition as picked by The Sporting News as a senior in 1989. He was a primary reason that the Green and

White ranked No. 1 in the Big Ten and No. 11 nationally in both rushing defense (95.4 ypg.) and total defense (280.5 ypg.). He compiled 73 stops, high among Spartan DBs, along with three pass interceptions and three fumble recoveries. One of his pass thefts was a 35-yard return for a TD against No. 2-ranked Miami. He finished his career with 154 tackles, six interceptions and 13 pass break-ups. He was chosen in the fourth round by the Cleveland Browns in the 1990 draft.

Dave Behrman was an All-America pick as a junior in 1961 as selected by the Associated Press and Football Writers Association and his senior year by CBS-

TV. Nicknamed “The Big Bear,” the 6-foot-4, 265-pounder dominated opponents with his strength. He ranked No. 2 on the club in minutes in 1961 and logged 297 minutes as a senior when he concentrated on his center position. His versatility enabled him to play tackle, guard and center during his career. Drafted in the first round by both the Buffalo Bills and the Chicago Bears, he played for the Bills from 1963-67.

LeRoy Bolden distinguished himself as an All-American his junior season in 1953 as picked by NBC-TV. Bolden paced the squad in rushing with 691 yards

and scoring with 48 points. His running helped MSU to a Rose Bowl appearance in the school’s first year of Big Ten play, especially in games against Minnesota and No. 16-ranked Ohio State where he registered three TDs vs. both foes while rushing for 145 and 128 yards, respectively. An all-around performer, he was a standout in the secondary and on special teams as a returner. At the conclusion of his career, he stood No. 2 on the school’s all-time list in total touchdowns (26) and total points (156).

Mark Brammer landed All-America honors as a junior in 1978 as selected by the Football Writers Association, the only Big Ten gridder to earn that distinction

that season. He grabbed 33 aerials for 360 yards and two TDs in ’78, and was a key part of MSU’s most productive offense ever—ranking No. 1 in the Big Ten in passing, scoring (No. 3 nationally at 37.4 ppg.) and total offense (No. 3 nationally at 481.3 ypg.). Started every game from his sophomore through senior years. Finished his career No. 3 on the school’s all-time receptions list with 107. Picked by the Buffalo Bills in the third round of the 1980 NFL Draft.

Art Brandstatter drew All-America acclaim as a senior in 1936 as selected by the All-American Board. Brandstatter was part of a Michigan State program

that compiled a 20-4-2 record during his varsity career. He was selected to the 1961 Silver Anniversary All-America Team by Sports Illustrated. One of his great moments took place in 1935 when a 59-yard run in the fourth quarter against highly-ranked Temple set up the winning TD in a 12-7 decision.

Allen Brenner, one of college football’s most talented two-way players in the late 1960s, earned three letters at Michigan State from 1966-68, while playing

wide receiver and safety for legendary head coach Duffy Daugherty. As a senior in 1968, Brenner earned First-Team All-America honors from the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) and Newspaper Enterprise Association (NEA). In addition, he was a unanimous first-team All-Big Ten selection as a defensive back by The Associated Press and United Press International and a second-team all-conference pick on offense as an end by UPI. Brenner ranked fifth on the Spartans in tackles with 63 (31 solos, 32 assists), including a team-leading eight TD-saving stops. He also intercepted two passes. Brenner finished second on the team in receptions with 25 for 413 yards (16.5 avg.) and one TD. He had two 100-yard receiving games in 1968: six catches for a career-best 153 yards against Baylor and six receptions for 101 yards at Northwestern. The 1968 team MVP played 449 out of a possible 600 minutes. Brenner recorded 12 tackles and an interception in MSU’s 21-17 victory over fifth-ranked Notre Dame in 1968, including

Flozell Adams captured first-team All-America recognition as picked by the Walter Camp Foundation as a senior in 1997. The ’97 Big Ten Offensive Lineman

of the Year, Adams started all 12 games at left tackle and helped the Spartans to a No. 24 spot nationally in rushing offense (199.5 ypg.). He also opened holes for MSU running backs who tallied 100 or more yards seven times during the season. At 6-foot-7, 330 pounds, Adams allowed only two sacks and recorded 37 pancakes. He was drafted in the second round by the Dallas Cowboys in the 1998 NFL Draft.

Eric Allen brought home All-America honors his senior year in 1971 as chosen by the American Football Coaches Association. Allen rushed for a Big Ten-

leading 1,494 yards in overall action, an MSU seasonal record that stood until 1985. In addition, Allen’s 1,283 yards on the ground in league contests established a Big Ten mark, as did his 110 points, making him the first player in Big Ten history to crack the century mark. Allen broke two NCAA records, four Big Ten marks and nine MSU records in ’71. His greatest game came against Purdue when he rushed for an NCAA-record 350 yards on 29 carries, a record that stood until 1978. Named the Big Ten’s MVP in ’71, he rushed for 100 or more yards on seven occasions and his 18 TDs represented school and Big Ten records. Career-wise, he finished as MSU’s all-time leader in rushing attempts (521) and rushing yards (2,654). Drafted by the Baltimore Colts in the fourth round of the 1972 NFL Draft, he signed with the Toronto Argonauts of the CFL.

Morten Andersen was an All-America honoree his senior year in 1981 as chosen by The Sporting News, United Press and the Walter Camp Foundation.

He was MSU’s leading scorer with 73 points on 28 PATs and 15 field goals (20 att.). He set a school and Big Ten record when he drilled a 63-yard field goal against Ohio State. In addition, opponents returned just 17 of his 56 kickoffs. Andersen closed out his college career ranked No. 1 on the MSU and Big Ten lists in field goals with 45 while holding down the top spot on the school’s all-time chart in PATs (126) and total points (261). He recorded seven field goals of 50 or more yards and three others of 49 yards. Picked by the New Orleans Saints in the fourth round of the 1982 NFL Draft.

Bob Apisa was an All-America selection as a sophomore in 1965 by Football News and his junior year in 1966 by Football News and the New York News. In

’65, despite missing most of the last three games due to a knee injury, he rushed for 666 yards, then the best seasonal mark turned in by a Spartan fullback, along with nine TDs. In 1966, Apisa once again was hampered by knee problems, but rushed for 445 yards and eight six-pointers. His career-high 140 yards on the ground against Michigan in a 20-7 victory earned him UPI Back of the Week honors. He finished his career as MSU’s most prolific rushing fullback with 1,343 yards in 262 attempts. A ninth-round pick of the Green Bay Packers in the ’68 NFL Draft.

three TD-saving stops. His biggest stop against the Irish came in the game’s final minute on a fourth-and-goal play from the Spartan 2, as Brenner dropped Terry Hanratty for a 3-yard loss and forced a fumble to preserve the win. The 6-foot-1, 196-pound Brenner closed out his career listed second in MSU’s record book in both receptions (73) and receiving yards (1,232), trailing only Gene Washington. He was a three-time Academic All-Big Ten selection (1966-68) and two-time Academic All-American (1966 – second team; 1968 – first team). Following his senior season, he played in three postseason all-star games: East-West Shrine Game, Hula Bowl and Senior Bowl. Brenner was selected by the New York Giants in the seventh round (No. 170 overall) in the 1969 National Football League Draft. He spent two years with the Giants (1969-70) and seven seasons in the Canadian Football League (Hamilton Tiger-Cats, 1971-74; Winnipeg Blue Bombers, 1975; Ottawa Rough Riders, 1975-77). In 1996, he was named to the Lansing State Journal’s MSU Centennial Super Squad.

Ed Budde was afforded All-America accolades as a senior in 1962 as picked by Time Magazine. Possessing both fine agility and speed, his blocking prowess

helped MSU to a No. 2 national ranking in total rushing yardage. Following his senior year, he was the captain of the 1963 College All-Star team that defeated the Green Bay Packers. A first-round draft pick of both the Dallas Stars of the American Football League and the Philadelphia Eagles of the NFL, he enjoyed a 14-year career with the Kansas City Chiefs, earning All-Pro recognition seven times.

James Burroughs captured All-America honors as a senior in 1981 as picked by The Sporting News. After sitting out the 1980 season due to academic reasons,

he bounced back in strong fashion to post 46 tackles while registering a then-MSU single-season record of 13 pass break-ups. Burroughs was part of a Spartan defense that ranked No. 1 in the Big Ten in pass defense in 1981. He was a first-team All-Big Ten choice as picked by the league’s coaches in 1981. He finished his collegiate career with 119 tackles and held the school record for pass break-ups with 28. Picked in the third round by Buffalo in the 1982 NFL Draft.

A great all-around athlete, Robert Carey was selected as an All-American as a senior in 1951 by the Associated Press, United Press, The Sporting News,

Newspaper Enterprise Association, New York News and the All-American Board. MSU’s leading receiver for three-straight years, he hauled in 20 aerials for 263 yards and three TDs in ’51. Career-wise, he finished with 65 receptions for 1,074 yards and 14 TDs, with all three totals representing then school career records.

Lynn Chandnois was an All-America pick as a senior in 1949 as chosen by the International News Service, United Press, Central Press, Football News and

Collier’s. One of the great two-way performers of his day, Chandnois rushed for a school-record 885 yards on 129 carries. Chandnois also intercepted seven enemy pass attempts, returning those thefts a total of 183 yards (tops in the nation). He paced the club in scoring with 60 points and rushed for over 100 yards in four contests that season, including a career-high 163 yards against Arizona. In the 75-0 win over the Wildcats, he sprinted 90 yards for a TD, still the longest rushing play in Spartan history. He played 55 minutes or better in six games while going all 60 in two outings. He closed out his career in the No. 1 spot in a variety of career categories at MSU, including rushing with 2,103 yards, total touchdowns with 30 (currently No. 6) and in points with 180. His 20 career interceptions are still the all-time MSU standard as is his 410 pass interception return yards. A No. 1 pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers, he played with that franchise until 1957.

DeAndra Cobb, a first-team All-America selection by Collegefootballnews.com, led the Big Ten and ranked No. 11 in the NCAA in kickoff returns with his 27.2-yard

average in 2003. His 763 kickoff return yards rank fourth on Michigan State’s single-season chart. Cobb returned five kickoffs for 167 yards (33.4 avg.) vs. Ohio State, including a 93-yard runback for a touchdown in the third quarter. It marked the first kickoff return for a TD allowed by the Buckeyes since 1984 when Michigan State’s Larry Jackson returned a kick 93 yards. Cobb set a Spartan single-season record with his third runback for a score, breaking the mark (two TDs) previously shared by Herb Haygood (2001), Derrick Mason (1995) and Derek Hughes (1979). His three kickoff returns for TDs also tied the NCAA I-A single-season record shared by Texas A&M’s Leeland McElroy (1993), New Mexico’s Terance Mathis (1989), Tennessee’s Willie Gault (1980), Southern Cal’s Anthony Davis (1974), Purdue’s Stan Brown (1970) and San Francisco’s Forrest Hall (1946). The 5-foot-10, 186-pound Cobb also scored on kickoff returns of 100 yards vs. Minnesota and 94 yards vs. Rutgers. His 100-yard runback against Minnesota tied the Spartan record for longest return (Herb Haygood vs. Iowa, 2001; Derrick Mason vs. LSU, 1995, and Penn State, 1994; and Derek Hughes vs. Oregon, 1979). In two seasons (2003-04), Cobb returned 64 kickoffs for 1,632 yards and four TDs. His career 25.5-yard kickoff return average ranks sixth on the Big Ten’s all-time list. He was selected by the Atlanta Falcons in the sixth round of the 2005 NFL Draft.

Don Coleman was MSU’s first unanimous All-American as a senior in 1951 as picked by the Associated Press, United Press, Collier’s, Look, The Sporting

News, New York News, Football News, Newspaper Enterprise Association, All-American Board, International News Service, Chicago Tribune Players and Central Press. Although just 185 pounds, Coleman used his quickness and technique to become a devastating blocker. The squad’s MVP in ’51, he finished runner-up to Jim Weatherall (Oklahoma) in the voting for the Outland Trophy. Known as the “60-minute man,” Coleman stood out on defense and special teams. Against Penn State, he made every tackle on MSU’s kickoffs

lynn chandnoiS #14 HB | 6-2 | 195 FLINT, MICH.

and punts. Against Michigan, he made eight key blocks which enabled teammates to go for long gains. Coleman became the first Spartan player ever to have his jersey retired (No. 78) and was called by former head coach Biggie Munn “the finest lineman ever to play for Michigan State.” He was chosen to the National Football Foundation College Hall of Fame in 1975 and was a member of MSU’s Centennial Super Squad (Pre-Big Ten) as chosen by the Lansing State Journal in August of 1996.

Ron Curl was an All-America choice as a senior in 1971 as picked by the American Football Coaches Association. The 6-foot-1, 250-pounder ranked third on the squad

in hits with 89, including a team-high seven tackles for losses. One of his big outings that season was a 10-tackle performance vs. ninth-ranked Ohio State in a 17-10 win, ending a 16-game conference win streak by the Buckeyes. A two-time first-team All-Big Ten selection, he finished his three-year career with 204 stops, including 25 career tackles for losses, then No. 1 on MSU’s all-time chart. Drafted in the 12th round by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1972.

Dan Currie was an All-American his senior year in 1957 as selected by the Associated Press, Football Writers Association, International News Service,

Football Coaches Association and NBC-TV. A stalwart performer on both sides of the ball, Currie’s blocking helped the Spartans to a No. 1 ranking among Big Ten squads in both total offense and scoring. Defensively, he was the catalyst from his linebacker post of a brigade that stood No. 1 in the league in rushing defense and total defense. He was team MVP of the ’57 unit that claimed a No. 3 national ranking. Named as the outstanding college player in ’57 by the Football Coaches Association, he was drafted in the first round by the Green Bay Packers in 1958. He earned NFL All-Pro honors twice at linebacker with the Packers during a seven year stint.

Jerry DaPrato was an All-American his senior year in 1915 as picked by the International News Service and Detroit Times. A strong runner, one of his

favorite devices was a straight arm to ward off would-be tacklers. DaPrato led the nation in scoring, running for 15 touchdowns, booting 28 extra points and converting two field goals for a total of 124 points. He accounted for 153 yards in a 24-0 win over Michigan and recorded 32 points in two games during the ’15 campaign.

Ellis Duckett was an All-America pick as a sophomore in 1952 as chosen by NBC-TV. The speedy receiver paced the squad with 10 receptions for 325 yards and five

TDs. Duckett broke the heart of Texas A&M by catching two passes for 127 yards and two scores in a 47-18 Spartan win. One of his catches was an 81-yarder, then the second-longest completion in MSU history. Duckett will be forever remembered for his blocked punt that he returned for a TD in the 1954 Rose Bowl that turned the tide in the Spartans’ favor (MSU trailed by a 14-0 margin at the time) en route to a 28-20 win over UCLA. He finished his career with 27 receptions for 575 yards and 10 touchdowns.

Billy Joe DuPree was an All-American as a senior in 1972 as chosen by Time Magazine. Playing in a run-oriented attack, he led the Spartans in receptions

with 23 for 406 yards. During his final campaign, he grabbed eight passes against Southern Cal, then tying for the second-highest total by a Spartan player in a single game, for 134 yards. He closed out his career in the No. 3 spot on MSU’s career reception list with 69. Chosen in the first round by the Dallas Cowboys in the 1973 NFL Draft, he enjoyed a fine 10-year pro career, earning all-league honors on three occasions.

Paul Edinger earned first-team All-America honors in 1998 from the All-American Football Foundation, the only all-star lineup selected after the

postseason bowl games. As a junior, he led the Big Ten and ranked third in the NCAA in field goals at 2.0 made per game. Edinger connected on a school single-season record 22-of-26 field-goal attempts (.846), including eight-of-nine field-goal tries from 40-plus yards. He converted a Spartan-record 13-straight field goals during a four-game stretch. The 5-foot-10, 175-pounder from Lakeland, Fla., tied the school’s single-game record for field goals with five each vs. Northwestern and top-ranked Ohio State. Edinger ranks among MSU’s all-time leaders in field goals made (third with 46) and scoring (seventh with 213 points). He was one of only four placekickers selected in the 2000 NFL Draft, going in the sixth round to the Chicago Bears.

A standout both as a return specialist and as defensive back, James Ellis was named to the Chicago Tribune Players All-America defensive team as a safety

both as a sophomore (1951) and junior (1952). During the 1951 season, he picked off six passes while returning 24 punts a total of 305 yards.

One of the great receivers in MSU history, Kirk Gibson was an All-American as a senior in 1978 as chosen by United Press, The Sporting News, Football News

and the Newspaper Enterprise Association. Gibson hauled in 42 receptions for a team-high 806 yards, then No. 1 on the school’s seasonal list. He paced all Big Ten players in receptions (31) and receiving yards (613) in league outings. He turned in a pair of 100-yard receiving games in ’78, including a 146-yard performance (three catches) vs. Wisconsin, the high-water mark by a conference player that year. One of his catches was an 86-yard toss from QB Ed Smith, the longest pass play in the conference that season. His game-breaking speed helped the Spartans to a Big Ten co-championship and a No. 12 national ranking. He closed out his career as MSU’s all-time leader in receptions (112) and receiving yards (2,347). In addition, his 21.0 yards-per-catch average still ranks as the No. 1 mark in Spartan history.

Central Press, Newspaper Enterprise Association and NBC-TV. A captain of the ’53 Spartans, his play at defensive end helped the Spartans hold five of their nine regular-season opponents to less than 10 points. Dohoney drew acclaim for his performance against Minnesota and All-America back Paul Giel by holding him to just 23 rushing yards in 20 attempts in a 21-0 win. MSU posted a 27-1 won-lost slate during the three years that he lettered.

Al Dorow, who quarterbacked the Spartans to a perfect 9-0 record and the 1951 National Championship, earned First-Team All-America honors from the

International News Service. As a senior in 1951, Dorow completed 64-of-114 throws for 842 yards and nine TDs while producing wins over three ranked opponents: No. 17 Michigan (25-0 in Ann Arbor), No. 7 Ohio State (24-20 in Columbus) and No. 11 Notre Dame (35-0 in East Lansing). Facing a 20-10 fourth-quarter deficit at Ohio State, Dorow threw a 3-yard TD pass to Paul Ekker and scored on a 28-yard reception from Tom Yewcic on a fourth-and-6 play as the Spartans rallied to record their ninth-straight win, 24-20. He earned United Press International’s Midwest Back of the Week honors after completing 11-of-17 passes for 112 yards and two TDs in MSU’s shutout win over Notre Dame. Born Nov. 15, 1929, in Imlay City, Mich., Dorow earned three letters from 1949-51 for legendary head coach Clarence “Biggie” Munn. As a two-year starter at quarterback, he compiled a 17-1 career record, including back-to-back Top 10 finishes in 1950-51. The 6-foot, 175-pound Dorow won his last 15 starts in a row.

Ron Goovert was an All-America honoree as a senior in 1965 as chosen by Look Magazine. Though just 205 pounds, Goovert possessed solid instincts and

Coach Duffy Daugherty said of him, “I feel that Ron was the best college linebacker in the country. I wouldn’t have traded him for anyone.” In a key game against No. 6 Purdue, Goovert intercepted a Boilermaker pass attempt on PU’s first scoring threat while coming up with a key sack that helped lead to MSU’s winning TD in a tight 14-10 decision. Following his college career, he spent two seasons on the roster of the Detroit Lions.

Sonny Grandelius was an All-America selection his senior year in 1950 as chosen by the Associated Press, International News Service and Central

Press. Grandelius rushed for a then school-record 1,023 yards and 11 TDs on 163 carries, making him just the 17th back in the history of college football to crack the 1,000-yard mark. Grandelius recorded five contests of 100-plus rushing yards and his 184 yards against Oregon State stood as an MSU single-game record until 1962. The team’s leading scorer with 72 points (12 TDs), he was named the squad’s MVP. Career-wise, he rushed for 1,692 yards and his 6.1 yards per rush average is still fourth on the school’s list. Drafted by the New York Giants. In 1996, he was named a member of MSU’s Centennial Super Squad (Pre-Big Ten Era) in a poll conducted by the Lansing State Journal.

A three-year letterman, Roger Grove was honored by the All-America Board of Football in 1930. The 185-pound senior quarterback from Sturgis, Mich., led the

Spartans to a 5-1-2 record. Grove gained a reputation as one of the Midwest’s top punters. He averaged nearly 40 yards per punt in a scoreless tie at Michigan. He scored on a 35-yard run in a 32-0 win over Cincinnati. Grove played perhaps his best all-around game in a 14-7 Homecoming victory over Colgate, returning a fumble 36 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter and intercepting a pass late in the fourth quarter. He helped control field position in a scoreless tie in the ’30 season finale, pinning Detroit inside its own 15-yard line several times. Grove also earned All-America honors as a basketball player, leading the Spartans in scoring as both a junior and senior. He became a five-year starter for the National Football League’s Green Bay Packers, playing halfback, quarterback and safety. As a rookie, Grove helped the Packers win the 1931 World Championship.

one of only four players in NCAA I-A football to return two kickoffs for touchdowns in 2001. Haygood scored on kickoff returns of 84 yards vs. Northwestern and 100 yards vs. Iowa. He became the first player in Michigan State’s 105-year football history to return kickoffs for scores in back-to-back games and his 100-yard runback against Iowa tied the Spartan record for longest return. His 1,770 career kickoff return yards rank second on MSU’s all-time list. Haygood was selected in the fifth round (No. 144 overall) of the 2002 NFL Draft by the Denver Broncos.

Clinton Jones claimed All-America status as a junior in 1965 as chosen by the Football Writers Association and in 1966 by the Associated Press, The

Sporting News, Central Press and the Newspaper Enterprise Association. As a junior, he rushed for a team-high 787 yards and 10 TDs. He recorded 74 points, which ranked 13th nationally. His 68 points in Big Ten contests placed him No. 1 among the league’s players and included a school-record tying four-TD game vs. Iowa. As a senior, he chalked up a team-leading 784 yards rushing and led the league in that department for conference contests (593 yards). Against Iowa, he set a then school and Big Ten record in rushing yards with 268, which included scoring jaunts of 79 and 70 yards. Drafted in the first round by the Minnesota Vikings in 1967.

In addition, Jones was named recipient of the 2009 Linebacker Trophy (National Linebacker of the Year) by the College Football Performance Awards. He also was recognized as the nation’s No. 1 linebacker by CollegeFootballNews.com. As a junior, Jones ranked third in the NCAA FBS in tackles per game (11.8). The 2009 Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year finished among the conference leaders in sacks (fifth) and tackles for loss (10th). His 154 tackles marked the seventh-best single-season total in MSU history. Jones led the team in tackles (154 total), tackles for loss (14.0 for 69 yards), sacks (9.0 for 53 yards) and production points (282) as a junior. He reached double-figure tackles nine times in 2009, including a career-high 15 stops each vs. Central Michigan and Penn State. As a senior, the 6-foot-1, 240-pound Jones also became Michigan State’s ninth unanimous All-America selection and the first since wide receiver Charles Rogers in 2002. In 2010, he earned First-Team All-America honors from AP, Sporting News, FWAA, Walter Camp Football Foundation, AFCA, SI.com, CBSSports.com, Scout.com and Phil Steele. Jones was the only repeat selection from the 2009 AP All-America First Team. He became only the second Spartan player ever to earn AP First-Team All-America honors in back-to-back seasons, joining Webster (1965-66). Jones also became MSU’s seventh three-time first-team All-Big Ten selection and the first since punter Brandon Fields (2003, 2004 and 2006). As a senior, he led the Spartans in tackles (106), tackles for loss (10 for 20 yards), forced fumbles (3), quarterback hurries (6) and production points (219). Jones

became the first Spartan to reach the 100-tackle milestone in three straight seasons since Percy Snow (1987-89). The 2010 team MVP anchored a Spartan defensive unit that ranked fifth in the Big Ten and No. 37 in the NCAA FBS in rushing defense, allowing 133.7 yards per game. A model of consistency, Jones led the team in tackles in 31 of the last 39 games and became only the second player in MSU history to lead the Spartans in tackles for four-straight seasons (linebacker Dan Bass, 1976-79). The 2010 team MVP posted a season-high 14 stops in a 26-6 Homecoming victory over Illinois, earning Walter Camp National Defensive Player of the Week and Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week honors. Jones, who recorded two interceptions, four tackles and forced a fumble in MSU’s 45-7 victory over Northern Colorado, was named Big Ten Co-Defensive Player of the Week. The Cincinnati, Ohio, native started 46 of 52 career games, including 40 consecutive starting assignments. Jones made 465 career tackles, including 46.5 for losses (160 yards) and 16.5 sacks (93 yards). He ranks among MSU’s all-time leaders in tackles for loss (second), total tackles (third) and sacks (sixth). Jones produced double-figure tackles 20 times in his career. He was selected by the New York Giants in the sixth round (No. 185 overall) of the 2011 National Football League Draft.

Steve Juday was an All-America choice as picked by the Associated Press his senior year in 1965. He completed 89-of-168 pass attempts (.530) for

1,173 yards, the first MSU QB to pass for over 1,000 yards in a season, and seven TDs. Juday engineered a potent MSU offense that registered a conference-leading 29.0 points per game while directing the 1965 Spartans to a national championship as voted by UPI. He closed out his career as the school’s all-time leader in passing yardage, pass attempts, pass completions and touchdown passes.

Walt Kowalczyk earned All-America honors as a senior in 1957 as chosen by The Sporting News, Football Writers Association, United Press, Newspaper

Enterprise Association, Central Press, Football Coaches Association Kodak, Football Digest and NBC-TV. Kowalczyk paced the Spartans in rushing (545 yards) and scoring (54 points) and helped MSU post an 8-1 record. Nicknamed “The Sprinting Blacksmith,” Kowalczyk’s biggest rushing game that year was a 113-yard effort against Michigan. He scored TDs in eight of the team’s nine contests and was third in the voting for the Heisman Trophy. Finished his career with 1,257 rushing yards and a total of 17 TDs. Drafted in the first round by the Philadelphia Eagles in 1958.

The lone senior starter on the 1989 Spartan offensive line, Bob Kula’s leadership role helped develop that unit into one of the Big Ten’s finest by the

end of the year. A Kodak and Associated Press All-American, Kula started all 12 games at left tackle and aided the Green and White to a No. 21 spot nationally in rushing offense (217.6 ypg.). In addition, he opened holes for MSU backs who accounted for a conference-leading 37 rushing TDs. A durable performer, Kula started the last 36 games of his career. The Seattle Seahawks chose him in the seventh round of the NFL Draft in 1990.

UPI’s Backfield of the Week three times for his efforts in contests vs. Notre Dame (first career start at QB), Purdue and Northwestern. Against the Wildcats, Look established a conference record for completion percentage by connecting on all seven of his attempts. He finished the year by completing 49 of 100 passes for 785 yards and nine TDs. MSU’s leading punter in ’58 and ’59, he was named the team’s MVP his senior year. A first-round pick of the Denver Broncos of the AFL, Look opted to sign a contract to play baseball with the Chicago White Sox.

Harold Lucas landed All-America recognition as a senior in 1965 as picked by the Newspaper Enterprise Association. From his middle guard position, he

helped the Spartans limit Big Ten foes to an average of just 34.6 rushing yards while leading the nation in rushing defense, allowing 45.6 yards per game. Lucas, who at the time was deemed the heaviest player ever to suit up for MSU at 286 pounds, was named Lineman of the Week twice, the first time by UPI following his effort against Ohio State and the second by AP after the Notre Dame game. He was the No. 2 pick of the St. Louis Cardinals in the 1966 NFL Draft.

Tony Mandarich was an All-American as a junior in 1987 by the Football News and then gained consensus All-America honors as a senior in 1988. A dominant

offensive lineman, he finished sixth in the Heisman Trophy voting and was among the top three finalists for the Outland Trophy. After missing the first three contests of ’88 due to NCAA suspension, he helped MSU average 268.8 rushing yards over the final eight regular-season games. At 6-foot-6, 315 pounds, he did not allow any sacks during his final year and recorded well over 50 pancakes. He was selected by the Green Bay Packers in the first round (second player overall) of the 1989 NFL Draft.

Don Mason earned All-America distinction as a senior in 1949 as chosen by Paramount News and Football News. Along with Ed Bagdon, the pair combined

to make themselves one of the most feared blocking combinations in college football. Though small by today’s standards at 5-foot-10, 195 pounds, Mason was a durable and consistent performer on the offensive and defensive lines. In fact, former Michigan head coach Fritz Crisler said of Bagdon and Mason that “they are the best pair of guards ever to play at Michigan Stadium.”

A consensus All-American in 1955, Norm Masters was chosen by United Press, Look Magazine, International News Service, Newspaper Enterprise

Association, NBC-TV, Central Press and Fox Movietone. His hard-hitting tackles earned him the nickname “Stormin’ Norman.” Masters was a big reason that the Spartans allowed just 7.7 points per game, still fourth on the school’s season list. He was voted the recipient of the game ball against Stanford following a 38-14 win. Drafted in the second round by the Chicago Cardinals, he played for the Green Bay Packers from 1957-64.

Don McAuliffe was an All-America pick as a senior in 1952 as chosen by United Press, Collier’s, Football Digest, Paramount News and All-Catholic.

McAuliffe, who ranked eighth in the voting for the Heisman Trophy, tied for the top spot on the squad in scoring with 54 points on nine TDs while picking up 531 rushing yards in 98 attempts (5.4 avg.). One of his biggest plays came vs. Michigan when he rambled 70 yards for a score just after the underdog Wolverines had taken a 13-0 lead. The run was the turning point in a 27-13 MSU win. The recipient of the Walter Camp Trophy in ’52, he closed out his career with 1,180 yards on the ground and 20 total TDs, then No. 2 on the school’s all-time list.

Blake Miller was an All-America honoree his final year of competition in 1915 as chosen by the Atlanta Constitution. He, along with teammate Jerry DaPrato, were

the school’s first-ever All-America selections. A brilliant open-field runner, he earned a total of nine letters at Michigan State: four in football, three in baseball and two in basketball. Miller rushed for 115 yards in MAC’s 24-0 win over Michigan in 1915, prompting Wolverine head coach Fielding Yost to present him the game ball. He gained 83 of his 115 yards in the second half.

Ralf Mojsiejenko earned All-America distinction as a junior in 1983 as picked by The Sporting News. One of MSU’s most dangerous weapons, he averaged 43.9

yards on 74 punts to rank fifth nationally. Included in his totals were career-high 71-yard punts vs. Notre Dame and Wisconsin. While he gained acclaim as a punter, he was a long-range threat when it came to field goals and boomed a 59-yarder (then tying the third-longest effort in Big Ten history) on the last play of the game that gave the Spartans a 29-29 tie at Purdue. In Big Ten performances, he produced a conference-leading 42.9 yards per punt. He still holds the school record in career punts with 279 and his average of 43.8 yards is No. 2 on the MSU all-time ladder. Chosen in the fourth round of the ’85 NFL Draft by San Diego.

Greg Montgomery was an All-American as a junior in 1986 by the Football Writers Association and as a senior in 1987 by the Football News and the Gannett News

Service. In 1986, he averaged 47.8 yards per punt, a mark that still ranks as an MSU seasonal record, and his 49.7 average in conference games is still the Big Ten standard. Among his efforts that year was a school record 86-yarder against Michigan. In 1987, he ranked fifth nationally in punting with a mark of 44.7 yards. During his career, he registered at least one punt of 50 or more yards in 33 of 35 outings. In addition, his career average of 45.2 yards ranks No. 1 on the school’s all-time list and is No. 2 on the Big Ten chart. He was chosen by the Houston Oilers in the third round of the ’88 NFL Draft. In 1996, he was named to the MSU Centennial Super Squad.

An anchor on MSU’s defensive line during its national championship season of 1952, Frank Kush was an All-America pick as a senior by the Associated Press,

Look Magazine, New York News, Fox Movietone, Athletic Publications and All-Catholic. He started the ’52 season on the offensive line, but close calls in the first two games of the year prompted the Spartan coaching staff to move Kush back to his middle guard post. Combining excellent quickness and sound technique, he often disrupted opponent plays before they even got started. In a key game vs. Purdue, he recovered a fumble while his play helped limit the Boilermakers to just 31 rushing yards. He enjoyed a successful stint as head coach at Arizona State (1958-79) before coaching in the Canadian and National Football Leagues. He was inducted into the National Football Foundation College Hall of Fame in 1995.

Earl Lattimer was an All-America choice as a senior in 1963 as picked by the New York News. After playing sparingly as a fullback his first two seasons, Duffy

Daugherty moved Lattimer to guard for the ’63 campaign. An all-around player who was a fine linebacker, he was named the Associated Press Lineman of the Week following a 30-13 shelling of No. 8 Wisconsin in which he helped the Spartans pile up 273 yards on the ground while holding the Badgers to just 29. Lattimer added to MSU’s scoring punch by booting three field goals including a then school-record 47-yarder on his first-ever attempt in a game vs. Northwestern. A crowd favorite, he often turned a somersault when running up to his spot on the offensive line. He was drafted by the Buffalo Bills in 1964.

Sherm Lewis captured All-America status as a senior in 1963 as picked by the Associated Press, United Press, Central Press, Football Writers Association and

the New York News. Lewis rushed for 577 yards on 90 carries and was the squad’s leading receiver with 11 catches for 303 yards (27.5 avg.). Lewis was on the receiving end of what were then the longest two pass plays in Spartan history, an 88-yarder vs. Southern Cal and an 87-yard strike vs. Wisconsin (those rank 2-3 presently). In a game vs. Northwestern, he sprinted 87 yards for a TD, then the third-longest run in MSU history, and returned four punts 103 yards, earning him UPI’s Midwest Back of the Week honors. Named the team’s MVP in ’63, he finished third in the Heisman Trophy voting, making him just one of two MSU players ever to finish that high in the balloting. Lewis closed out his career No. 5 on the school’s career rushing list with 1,566 yards, No. 3 in total TDs (23) and third in total points (144)

Dean Look was named an All-American his senior year in 1959 by the Football Writers Association and Football News. After playing halfback his first two

seasons, Look made the switch to QB during fall drills of 1959. Despite being slowed by a shoulder injury early on, he was the only player in the country to be named to

Ringer became the first offensive player in Big Ten history to earn Player of the Week honors for three consecutive weeks (vs. Eastern Michigan, Florida Atlantic and Notre Dame). His 390 carries also led the nation – 23 more attempts than the second running back on the list. Ringer ranks first on MSU’s all-time list in all-purpose yards (5,426), second in rushing yards (4,398) and fourth in rushing TDs (34; tied with Blake Ezor, 1986-89). His 4,398 career rushing yards rank No. 10 in Big Ten history. The Dayton, Ohio, native had 19 career 100-yard rushing games and 11 career multi-TD games. Ringer was selected by the Tennessee Titans in the fifth round of the 2009 National Football League Draft.

Andre Rison was an All-American as a senior in 1988 as selected by the Gannett News Service. The big-play wide out hauled in a team-high 39 receptions

for 961 yards that year and his 24.6 yards per catch ranks second on MSU’s all-time seasonal chart. In addition, he tied the school record for TD receptions with eight. He closed out his career by grabbing nine passes for a then school-record 252 yards against Georgia in the Gator Bowl. Career-wise, he holds the school record for both receptions (146) and reception yardage (2,992). He was taken in the first round by the Indianapolis Colts in the 1989 NFL Draft.

Charles Rogers was named a consensus All-American in 2002, earning first-team honors from the Associated Press, Football Writers Association of America,

American Football Coaches Association, Walter Camp, The Sporting News, ESPN.com, CNNSI.com and CBS SportsLine.com. The 2002 Biletnikoff Award winner caught a school-record 68 passes for 1,351 yards and 13 touchdowns as a junior. In 2002, Rogers became only the second receiver in MSU history to record back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons, joining Plaxico Burress who accomplished the feat in 1998-99. His receiving yards and TD catches represent the second-best single-season totals in Spartan history. Rogers led the Big Ten in receiving yards (112.6 per game) and TD receptions while ranking third in receptions (5.67 per game). He also ranked among the NCAA leaders in TD catches (third), receiving yards (eighth) and receptions (t-27th). Fifty-seven of his 68 receptions (84 percent) resulted in first downs. With his 21-yard TD reception in the second quarter vs. Northwestern (Sept. 28), Rogers set both NCAA and Big Ten records by catching a TD pass in his 13th-consecutive regular-season game and his 14th-straight game overall. The 6-foot-4, 205-pound junior from Saginaw, Mich., had six 100-yard receiving games in 2002, tying the single-season mark he set as a sophomore. He had a season-best 175 yards vs. Notre Dame (seven catches). Rogers finished his career ranked among MSU’s all-time leaders in touchdown receptions (first with 27), receiving yards (second with 2,821), yards per catch (second at 20.9), receptions (third with 135) and scoring (12th with 174 points). He produced a school-record 12 career 100-yard receiving games, including a Spartan single-game record 270 yards vs. Fresno State (10 receptions) in the 2001 Silicon Valley Football Classic. Rogers accounted for 3,108 career all-purpose yards and his 29 career touchdowns rank seventh on MSU’s career chart. He was selected No. 2 overall by the Detroit Lions in the 2003 NFL Draft.

In Week 5, Pingel carried 19 times for 115 yards, including TD runs of 23 and 28 yards, and threw a 3-yard TD pass to Nelson as Michigan State knocked off previously unbeaten Syracuse, 19-12. In Week 8, he had three TD passes in a 20-14 victory at Marquette, including a 10-yard scoring toss to Jack Amon with less than two minutes remaining. Born Nov. 6, 1916, in Mount Clemens, Mich., Pingel appeared in 28 consecutive games from 1936-38 for Coach Charlie Bachman and helped the Spartans to a combined record of 20-6-2 (.750), including the school’s first-ever postseason bowl appearance (1938 Orange Bowl against Auburn). His likeness is preserved in one of the sandstone panels above the main entrance to Jenison Field House. Pingel became the seventh pick in the first round of the 1939 NFL Draft (held on Dec. 9, 1938) by the Detroit Lions. In his only season in the NFL, he started eight of nine games and produced 644 total yards and four TDs. Pingel completed 27-of-48 passes (.563) for 343 yards, three TDs and four interceptions. He gained 301 yards on 74 rushes and scored one rushing TD. Pingel ranked third in the NFL in punting with his 42.8-yard average (32 punts for 1,368 yards). He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1968 and the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame in 1973. Prior to MSU’s Sept. 18, 2010, home game against Notre Dame, Pingel’s name was added to Spartan Stadium’s “Ring of Fame.”

Gerald Planutis captured All-America recognition as a senior in 1955 as picked by Jet Magazine. The fullback bulled his way for 385 yards on 78 carries, at the

time an MSU seasonal record for fullbacks, and converted 22-of-31 extra-point attempts. MSU’s leading scorer with 52 points, he was named the Associated Press Back of the Week after rushing for 91 yards and one TD in a 21-7 win over Notre Dame. Planutis was a solid performer in the MSU secondary and helped the Spartans to an 8-1 record, along with a No. 2 national ranking. He played in two Rose Bowls and picked up 66 yards on the ground in the 1956 contest.

Javon Ringer, who rushed for 1,637 yards and a school-record 22 touchdowns in 2008, became the first Spartan running back to earn consensus All-America

honors since Lorenzo White in 1987. As a senior, he earned first-team All-America honors from the Associated Press and Walter Camp Football Foundation. A Doak Walker Award finalist and first-team All-Big Ten selection, Ringer finished 10th in the final balloting for the Heisman Trophy. The 5-foot-9, 205-pound Ringer led the nation in scoring (10.2 points per game) and rushing TDs (22) while ranking fourth in rushing (125.9 yards per game) and 15th in all-purpose yards (157.8 ypg.). He led the Big Ten in scoring and all-purpose yards and ranked second in rushing. His 1,637 yards rank as the second-highest single-season rushing total in school history. Ringer became the first Spartan to record back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons since T.J. Duckett in 2000-01. He led the Big Ten in rushing for nine consecutive weeks (Sept. 14-Nov. 9) before being overtaken by Iowa’s Shonn Greene on the second-to-last weekend of the regular season. In fact, Ringer led the conference in rushing, scoring and all-purpose yards during that nine-week stretch. Ringer accounted for 97 percent of Michigan State’s rushing yards (1,637 of 1,692) and 76 percent of its rushing attempts (390 of 511) in 2008. He recorded seven 100-yard rushing games in 2008, including back-to-back 200-yard games vs. Florida Atlantic (43 carries for career-best 282) and Notre Dame (39 for 201). Ringer had eight multi-TD games as a senior, including a career-best five scores vs. Eastern Michigan.

One of the country’s premier signal callers, Earl Morrall was an All-America selection his senior year in 1955 as picked by the Associated Press, Collier’s,

Look Magazine, International News Service, The Sporting News, Paramount News, NBC-TV, Hearst Syndicate and Frank Leahy. Morrall completed 42-of-68 passes for 941 yards, then tying the school record, and ranked among the top 10 in the nation in total offense with 1,047 yards. He averaged a nation-best 9.1 yards per play. He passed for a school-record 274 yards against Marquette, a mark that stood until 1969. No. 4 in the voting for the Heisman, he ranked No. 2 in the nation in punting with a 42.9 average. He concluded his MSU stint in the top spot in passing yards (2,015), and pass completion percentage. Chosen by the San Francisco 49ers in the first round of the 1955 NFL Draft, he enjoyed a successful 21-year pro career in which he played in four Super Bowls. In 1996, he was chosen as a member of MSU’s Centennial Super Squad.

Carl Nystrom was an All-American as a senior in 1955 as picked by Radio-TV Guide and Frank Leahy. Nystrom captained the ’55 squad that finished 9-1

including a Rose Bowl win. He was named the team’s MVP and head coach Duffy Daugherty called him the greatest guard he had ever coached. Nystrom, a middle guard on defense, gave a sterling performance against Notre Dame, playing all 60 minutes in a 21-7 win over the No. 4 Irish. He was the first MSU football player to earn All-America recognition as both player and scholar, landing a first-team spot on the Academic All-America Team.

Julian Peterson, a first-team All-America pick by the Football News, produced a single-season record 30 tackles for losses (140 yards) in 1999, including

15 sacks (104). He earned Defensive MVP honors in the 2000 Florida Citrus Bowl after recording eight tackles, including five for losses (32 yards), vs. Florida. Peterson, who finished third on the team with 82 tackles in ’99, was one of 15 semifinalists for Defensive Player of the Year by the Football News. Despite playing only two seasons, the Hillcrest Heights, Md., native set a Spartan career record with 48 tackles for losses (215 yards). His 25 career sacks (161 yards) rank second on MSU’s all-time list. He was chosen in the first round (16th pick) of the 2000 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers.

As a senior in 1938, John Pingel played 451 out of a possible 540 minutes while accounting for 1,127 yards and 12 touchdowns. Pingel rushed 110 times

for 556 yards (5.1 avg.) and five scores and connected on 54-of-101 throws (.535) for 571 yards and seven TDs. He also averaged 41.8 yards on 99 punts, and his 4,138 punting yards still rank as the NCAA single-season record. Pingel earned first-team All-America honors from The Associated Press, International News Service, Central Press, Newspapers Enterprise Association and Liberty Magazine.

Another of MSU’s all-time greats, Bubba Smith brought home All-America recognition as a junior in 1965 as chosen by the American Football Coaches

Association, and UPI before being selected to nine different squads as a senior. During the ’65 season, he helped the Spartans rank No. 1 in the nation in rushing defense while playing a key role in holding Ohio State, Notre Dame and Michigan to minus rushing yards. At 6-foot-8, 280 pounds, his statistics of 30 tackles in 1966 (10 tackles for losses) don’t nearly represent his impact on opposing squads which either tried double- or triple-teaming him or running away from his side of the field. The UPI named him Lineman of the Year, and the Baltimore Colts made him the No. 1 pick overall in the 1967 NFL Draft. He went on to enjoy an eight-year pro career before being inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1988. In 1996, he was chosen to MSU’s Centennial Super Squad in a poll conducted by the Lansing State Journal. In June 2006, Smith was rated among the Top 10 Greatest Defensive Players of All-Time, according to lists compiled by CollegeFootballNews.com’s Pete Fiutak (No. 6) and Richard Cirminiello (No. 8). On Sept. 23, 2006, he became just the third player in Michigan State football history to have his jersey number (No. 95) retired.

Robaire Smith was named a first-team All-American by the Walter Camp Foundation following his junior season in 1998. He led the defensive line and

was fourth on the team in tackles with 52 (23 solos, 29 assists) before suffering a broken leg in the first quarter against Ohio State Nov. 7. The 6-foot-5, 268-pounder from Flint, Mich., led the Spartans in tackles for losses with eight (22 yards) through the first eight games, including two-and-a-half sacks. He ended his MSU career with 38 tackles for losses and 22 sacks, fourth- and fifth-best in school history, respectively. He was chosen in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft by the Tennessee Titans.

One of the most decorated MSU gridders of all time, Percy Snow was an All-America choice as picked by The Sporting News his junior year in 1988

and garnered first-team distinction in 1989 by the following entities: Kodak, Associated Press, United Press, Football Writers, Football News, The Sporting News and the Walter Camp Foundation. During the ’89 campaign, he became the first player ever to capture both the Butkus and Lombardi Awards. He led all Big Ten players in total tackles with 172, then an MSU record. He turned in 11 performances of double-digit tackling his senior year and notched 23 takedowns vs. Illinois. A three-year starter, he closed out his career with 473 tackles, No. 2 on MSU’s all-time list. He was a first-round selection (13th player overall) of the Kansas City Chiefs in the 1990 NFL Draft.

A four-year starter, Ray Stachowicz earned All-America honors as a junior in 1979 by the Football News and as a senior in 1980 by the Walter Camp

Foundation, Football News and the Newspaper Enterprise Association. He led the Big Ten in punting in 1979 (43.8 avg.) and in 1980 (44.6) in league contests and his overall average of 46.2 yards in ’80 was a Big Ten record and ranked him second nationally (he was fifth nationally in ’79). Of his 71 punts in 1980, 13 were 55 yards or longer, and of his 230 career attempts, 57 traveled 50 or more yards. Closed out his career as MSU’s and the Big Ten’s all-time leader in punting average (43.3). When he had completed his career with the Spartans, he owned the four longest punts in MSU history. Also, he became the first player ever to earn first-team All-Big Ten honors four consecutive seasons. Picked in the third round by the Green Bay Packers in 1981 NFL Draft.

Dick Tamburo brought home All-America distinction his senior year in 1952 as picked by the Associated Press, Central Press, Newspaper Enterprise Association,

International News Service, New York News, Football Digest and Paramount News. Named the Spartans’ MVP of the 1952 national championship season, he helped open holes for Spartan backs while playing a tough brand of defense which ranked No. 1 in the nation against the rush. One of his outstanding performances that year took place against Notre Dame when he recovered three Irish fumbles in the third quarter, one of which led to a TD in a 21-3 victory.

Brad Van Pelt was an All-America pick as a junior in 1971 by the Football News and United Press and was a consensus choice as a senior in 1972 including the

Associated Press, Walter Camp Foundation, United Press, The Sporting News, Time Magazine, American Football Coaches, Football Writers Association and Universal Sports. He helped the Spartans to a No. 2 ranking in the Big Ten in total defense by posting 92 hits, tops among MSU defensive backs, while picking off four passes, returning two of those for TDs (both vs. Oregon State). As a senior, he registered 84 hits and picked off four passes. His efforts helped the Green and White allow just 2.8 yards per rush, the benchmark in the league. He became the first defensive back ever to receive the Maxwell Award (symbolic of college football’s outstanding player) and was tabbed as college football’s defensive back of the year by the Columbus Touchdown Club. He closed out his career with 256 tackles and was No. 2 on the school’s career interception list with 14. He was drafted in the first round by the New York Giants in 1973. He played 14 years in NFL ranks and was an All-Pro selection on five occasions. He was named to the Lansing State Journal’s MSU Centennial Super Squad in 1996 and inducted into the MSU Athletics Hall of Fame in 2000, College Football Hall of Fame in 2001 and Michigan Sports Hall of Fame in 2002. Prior to MSU’s Sept. 18, 2010, home game against Notre Dame, Van Pelt’s name was added to Spartan Stadium’s “Ring of Fame.”

George Saimes was tabbed as an All-American his senior year in 1962 by the AP, UPI, Football Writers Association, Football Coaches Association, New York

News, The Sporting News and CBS-TV. Saimes churned his way for a team-high 642 rushing yards and nine TDs and also registered three interceptions while serving as defensive captain. A two-time Spartan MVP and first-team All-Big Ten choice, Saimes’ big effort that year was a career-best 153 yards and three TDs on 13 carries vs. Notre Dame, earning him Midwest Back of the Week by UPI. He finished his college career with 1,253 yards on the ground while notching 18 touchdowns. Chosen in the sixth round of the 1962 pro draft by both the Dallas Texans (AFL) and the Los Angeles Rams (NFL), he earned All-Pro honors as a safety with the Buffalo Bills.

Ron Saul was an All-American his senior season in 1969 as chosen by The Sporting News, Time and the Newspaper Enterprise Association. The 6-foot-

2, 239-pounder possessed exceptional strength and was nicknamed “Hercules” by his teammates. He was voted the Spartans’ most valuable player in ’69 and is the last offensive lineman to earn that honor. A three-year starter, he and his identical twin brother, Rich, earned Academic All-America honors, the first brother combo ever to achieve that distinction in the same year. Selected in the fifth round by the Houston Oilers in the 1970 NFL Draft, Saul went on to enjoy a 13-year professional career.

Scott Shaw was chosen as a first-team All-American by the Gannett News Service as a senior in 1997. Shaw started all 12 games at left guard and helped

the Spartans to a No. 24 spot nationally in rushing offense (199.5 ypg.). He also opened holes for MSU running backs who tallied 100 or more yards seven times during the season. At 6-foot-4 and 297 pounds, Shaw consistently earned the team’s top grade for pass protection, allowing only one sack all season. He was drafted in the fifth round by the Miami Dolphins in the 1998 NFL Draft.

Bill Simpson brought home All-America honors as a senior in 1973 as picked by The Sporting News and Universal Sports. Simpson spearheaded an exceptional

Spartan secondary that ranked No. 2 nationally in passing defense and No. 12 in total defense, intercepting a team-high five passes. He also ranked No. 2 in the Big Ten in punting (39.3 avg.). He recorded 64 tackles, tops in the MSU defensive secondary, including three touchdown-saving stops. A two-time first-team All-Big Ten honoree, Simpson was drafted in the second round by the Los Angeles Rams in 1974 (first defensive back chosen). In 1996, Simpson was named to MSU’s Centennial Super Squad in a poll conducted by the Lansing State Journal.

Sidney Wagner was an All-America choice as a senior in 1935 as picked by United Press, International News Service, New York Sun and Liberty Magazine. The team captain in ’35, he became

the fourth MSU player to earn major first-team All-America recognition. He helped MSU to a 6-2 won-lost slate and was part of the first back-to-back wins over Michigan, 16-0 in 1934 and 25-6 in 1935.

A two-time First-Team All-American and two-time First-Team All-Big Ten selection (1965-66), Gene Washington led the team in receptions for three-

straight seasons. A three-year starter for Coach Duffy Daugherty from 1964-66, Washington helped Michigan State to a combined record of 23-6-1 during his career, including back-to-back Big Ten and National Championships in 1965-66. During that three-year span, the Spartans posted a 17-3 record in Big Ten games. As a junior, Washington earned All-America honors from The Football News, Football Digest and Central Press. In 1965, he hooked up with quarterback Steve Juday to establish career bests in receptions (40) and receiving yards (638). Washington also tied for the Big Ten lead in TD receptions (four) while ranking second in receiving yards (544) and fifth in receptions (30). He earned Lineman of the Week honors from Sports Illustrated after catching three TD passes against Indiana, as MSU scored 17 fourth-quarter points en route to a 27-13 victory to clinch the Big Ten championship and a trip to the Rose Bowl. Washington had a game-high four receptions for 81 yards against UCLA in the 1966 Rose Bowl. His 42-yard grab from Juday set up MSU’s first touchdown against the Bruins. As a 6-foot-3, 218-pound senior, Washington was utilized primarily as a blocker, as the 9-0-1 Spartans averaged 230.5 rushing yards. In 1966, he received First-Team All-America recognition from The Sporting News, United Press International and American Football Coaches Association. Washington caught 27 passes for a then school-record 677 yards and a career-best seven TDs. He averaged an incredible 25.0 yards per catch as a senior. Washington closed out his career as MSU’s all-time leader in receptions (102), receiving yards (1,857) and TD receptions (16). His 18.2 yards per catch still rank ninth on MSU’s all-time list. Washington had six career 100-yard receiving games. Washington was selected by the Minnesota Vikings in the first round (No. 8 overall) of the 1967 NFL Draft and became a two-time Pro Bowl selection (1969-70). He was inducted into the MSU Athletics Hall of Fame in 1992 and named to the Lansing State Journal’s MSU Centennial Super Squad in 1996. In 2011, Washington was elected for induction into the College Football Hall of Fame. Prior to MSU’s Oct. 22, 2011, home game against Wisconsin, his name was added to Spartan Stadium’s “Ring of Fame.”

George Webster earned All-America acclaim his junior (1965) and senior (1966) years by the Associated Press, United Press, American Football Coaches

Association, Football News, the Newspaper Enterprise Association and New York News while being named to the Football Writers, The Sporting News and Central Press teams his senior year. Webster revolutionized the position of roverback and helped MSU to a No. 1 ranking in the Big

gene waShington #84 WR | 6-3 | 218 LAPORTE, TExAS

Ten in total defense in 1965 (No. 2 nationally, 169.9 ypg.) and 1966. As a senior, he posted 93 tackles, including 10 tackles for losses, and helped MSU rank No. 3 nationally in rushing defense. The Spartans’ MVP in ’66, he became just the second MSU gridder to have his jersey retired (No. 90). Drafted in the first round by the Houston Oilers in 1967, he played 10 years in the pro ranks. He was named MSU’s Greatest Player in a vote taken by Spartan fans in 1969. In 1996, he was chosen as a member of MSU’s Centennial Super Squad.

A key member of the legendary 1966 Spartan football team, Jerry West claimed All-America honors his senior year as picked by the Newspaper Enterprise

Association. In Big Ten outings, West’s solid blocking enabled the Green and White to pace the conference in both rushing (223.2 ypg.) and in scoring (30.4 ppg.). One of the many fine performances for the 5-foot-11, 218-pounder that year came on a sloppy Ohio Stadium field when his pass protection skills helped QB Jimmy Raye pass for 68 yards during an 83-yard winning TD drive in an 11-8 win over the Buckeyes.

Lorenzo White captured All-America honors as a sophomore in 1985 as chosen by the Associated Press, United Press, Football Writers, The Sporting

News, American Football Coaches and the Walter Camp Foundation. As a senior in 1987, seven different agencies tabbed him as an All-American including Kodak, United Press, Football Writers, the Walter Camp Foundation and Football News. In 1985, he finished fourth in the voting for the Heisman Trophy after rushing for a school and Big Ten seasonal record 2,066 yards. His 1,908 yards during the regular season at the time was the fourth-best single-season rushing total in the history of college football and the highest by a sophomore. He rushed for 200 or more yards on four occasions including a 286-yard effort vs. Indiana. During the ’87 season, White helped MSU to its first Rose Bowl since 1966 by rushing for 1,572 yards. His 132.6 rushing yards per game during the regular season ranked him No. 6 nationally. He rushed for 100-plus yards on seven occasions and established a school record for attempts in a game with 56 vs. Indiana while finishing that contest with a personal-best 292 yards on the ground and finished with school records in rushing yardage (4,887, then No. 2 in the history of Big Ten) and attempts with 1,082. In 1996, he was named to the MSU Centennial Super Squad.

Sam Williams was an All-American as a senior in 1958 as picked by UPI, Time Magazine, Football Coaches Association, and the New York News.

After dropping out of MSU and serving a four-year stint with the Navy, Williams emerged as a threat both offensively and defensively. A workhorse who averaged nearly 50 minutes per game, he caught a team-high 15 passes for 242 yards while wreaking havoc as a defensive end. A two-time first-team All-Big Ten pick, he served as the Spartan captain of the ’58 squad. He was credited with 13 solo stops against Michigan while Illinois and Purdue ran nearly all their sweep plays to the opposite side of the field. Drafted before he even participated in college (L.A. Rams in 1955), he played one season for the Rams before joining the Detroit Lions, where he played until 1966.

Consensus All-American Jerel Worthy anchored a Spartan defensive unit that led the Big Ten in rushing defense (100.5 yards per game), total defense

(277.4 ypg.) and sacks (45) in 2011. Worthy, a 6-foot-2, 308-pound junior defensive tackle, earned First-Team All-America honors from The Associated Press, American Football Coaches Association (AFCA), Walter Camp Football Foundation, CBSSports.com, Yahoo! Sports and NBCSports. com. He became the first Spartan defensive lineman to earn AP First-Team All-America honors since defensive end Charles “Bubba” Smith in 1966. In addition, Worthy was named one of 12 semifinalists for the Lombardi Award (college lineman of the year) and one of 16 semifinalists for the Chuck Bednarik Award (defensive player of the year). A first-team All-Big Ten selection by both the coaches and media, Worthy ranked fourth on the team in tackles for loss (10.5 for 42 yards), including 3.5 sacks (28 yards). He produced a tackle for loss in nine of MSU’s 14 games. Worthy recorded 30 tackles (19 solos, 11 assists) and was credited with 14 quarterback hits and 10 QB hurries. He closed out his collegiate career in style by matching his career high in tackles (5) and tackles for loss (2 for 2 yards) in MSU’s 33-30 triple-overtime win over No. 18 Georgia in the 2012 Outback Bowl. Worthy made three tackles in MSU’s 37-31 victory over No. 4 Wisconsin, including one for a 3-yard loss. He registered four stops and recovered a fumble at Notre Dame. The Huber Heights, Ohio, native started 38 of 40 career games and recorded 107 tackles, with 27.5 resulting in losses (118 yards) including 12 sacks (78 yards). Those marks rank among MSU’s all-time leaders: tied for 12th in sacks and 13th in tackles for loss. He also blocked three kicks. Worthy was selected by the Green Bay Packers in the second round (No. 51 overall) of the 2012 National Football League Draft.

Tom Yewcic, the leader of the Spartan offense during their 9-0 season, gained All-America status as a junior in 1952 as selected by NBC-TV. He completed

41-of-95 passes for 941 yards, then a school seasonal record, and 10 TDs. In his first game as starting quarterback, he drew acclaim after completing seven-of-14 passes for 171 yards in sparking a come-from-behind 27-13 win over Michigan. He became just the second Spartan QB to reach the 200-yard plateau in passing when he passed for 202 yards against Texas A&M. The owner of 17 career TD passes and 1,480 passing yards. He signed a pro baseball contract before entering the pro football ranks with Toronto of the CFL before joining the Boston Patriots, 1961-66.

Gene Washington #84

Brad Van Pelt #10

Miscellaneous awards

Don Coleman #78 George Webster #90

John Pingel #37

John Hannah #46 Charles “Bubba” Smith #95

RetiRed JeRsey NumbeRs/RiNg of fameOnly four jersey numbers have been retired in the 113-year history of Michigan State football: No. 78 worn by All-America tackle Don Coleman, No. 90 worn by All-America roverback George Webster, No. 46 in honor of former MSU President John Hannah and No. 95 worn by All-America defensive end Charles “Bubba” Smith.

Spartan head coach Biggie Munn (1947-53) pulled Coleman’s No. 78 out of circulation in 1952. Munn called Coleman, a consensus All-American in 1951, “the finest lineman ever to play for Michigan State.” Coleman was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1975.

Webster, a two-time All-American, had his No. 90 retired by head coach Duffy Daugherty in 1967. “George Webster is not only the finest football player I’ve ever seen but he symbolizes our great 1965 and ’66 teams.” Webster was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1987.

Daugherty retired the No. 46 in 1969 as a tribute to Dr. Hannah, who stepped down after 46 years of service to the University including 28 years as its president (1941-69). Hannah championed Michigan State’s acceptance into the Big Ten Conference in 1949. Former Spartan head coach and athletics director George Perles said, “John Hannah is the greatest legend in the history of Michigan State.

He is the person who made MSU the great school it is today.”

On Sept. 23, 2006, Smith became just the third player in Michigan State football history to have his jersey number (No. 95) retired. His jersey retirement was part of a special program to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the 1966 “Game of the Century” between the second-ranked Spartans and top-ranked Notre Dame that ended in a 10-10 tie.

Former Michigan State All-Americans and College Football Hall of Famers Brad Van Pelt and John Pingel had their names added to Spartan Stadium’s “Ring of Fame” prior to MSU’s 2010 home game against Notre Dame.

As MSU’s latest inductee into the College Football Hall of Fame (Class of 2011), Gene Washington’s name was added to Spartan Stadium’s “Ring of Fame” at the 2011 Homecoming game against Wisconsin.

Munn and Daugherty, who combined to win 163 games and six National Championships, will have their names added to Spartan Stadium’s “Ring of Fame” prior to MSU’s 2012 (Oct. 13) Homecoming game against Iowa. The legendary coaches will have their names added to the west upper deck, alongside the signage that recognizes MSU’s six National Championship seasons. The names of the seven other “Ring of Fame” members appear on the east upper deck.

In just seven seasons from 1947-53, Munn transformed Michigan State into one of the winningest and most respected programs in the nation, as he produced a remarkable record

of 54-9-2 (.846). During his tenure, the Spartans won back-to-back National Championships in 1951 and 1952, rattled off a school-record 28-game winning streak, and won the 1953 Big Ten Co-Championship in the school’s inaugural season in the conference. He capped off his illustrious career with a 28-20 victory over fifth-ranked UCLA in the 1954 Rose Bowl. Over his final four seasons, Munn compiled a 35-2 record (.946), including four consecutive Top 10 finishes in the final Associated Press and United Press International Polls from 1950-53. He was named National Coach of the Year by the American Football Coaches Association in 1952 after leading Michigan State to a perfect 9-0 record and the consensus National Championship. Munn, who produced 18 first-team All-Americans, became the only coach to beat Notre Dame’s Frank Leahy three years in a row (1950-52). He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1959.

In 19 seasons as Michigan State’s head coach (1954-72), Daugherty posted a 109-69-5 record (.609) and led the Spartans to four National Championships (1955, 1957, 1965 and 1966). He guided Michigan State to a combined record of 19-1-1 in 1965-66, as the Spartans won back-to-back Big Ten and National Championships. Seven of his teams ranked among the nation’s Top 20, including six Top 10 finishes. A two-time National Coach of the Year (1955 and 1965), Daugherty was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1984.

1938 ORANgE BOWl

The fourth annual Orange Bowl game wasn’t nearly as close as the final score might indicate as Auburn dominated play on both sides of the football in recording a shutout victory, 6-0, over Michigan State. It still ranks as the lowest-scoring game in Orange Bowl history. Auburn wasted two scoring opportunities in the first quarter. Jimmy Fenton’s 25-yard run gave the Tigers a first-and-10 at the MSU 12, but the Spartan defense responded by stuffing three-straight running plays and Lyle Rockenbach broke up Fenton’s fourth-down pass. Tom McShannock’s interception and 29-yard return ended Auburn’s second scoring threat. The game’s only touch-down came in the second quarter and it was set up by George Kenmore’s 28-yard pass to Ralph O’Gwynne to the MSU 2. Auburn fullback Pel Sitz netted only 1 yard on three carries before O’Gwynne scored on a 1-yard run around left end on fourth-and-goal. The Tigers had several chances in the second half to break the game open. Auburn turned the ball over on downs at the MSU 16 in the third quarter after Dutch Heath’s 12-yard interception return to the MSU 24. Michigan State failed to record a first down until late in the third quarter when Ed Pearce broke a 29-yard run. Auburn drove inside the MSU 30 twice in the fourth quarter but failed to put points on the scoreboard. The Spartans’ only other first down came on a 23-yard pass from John Pingel to Usif Haney midway through the fourth quarter. Auburn outgained Michigan State in total yards, 278-67. Fenton and Speck Kelly combined for 137 of the Tigers’ 197 rushing yards, gaining 76 and 61 yards, respectively. Auburn held Pingel, MSU’s All-America halfback, to 12 yards rushing on seven carries. A sellout crowd of nearly 19,000 attended the game at Miami’s brand-new $360,000 Roddy Burdine Stadium.

1956 ROSE BOWl

Dave Kaiser converted his first career field-goal attempt, a 41-yarder with :07 left, to give No. 2 Michigan State a 17-14 win over No. 4 UCLA in the 1956 Rose Bowl. Michigan State found itself in an early hole as Earl Morrall’s pass on the first play from scrimmage was intercepted by Jim Decker and returned 4 yards to the MSU 16. Four plays later, Bob Davenport scored on a 2-yard run over left guard to give the Bruins a 7-0 lead with 11:48 left in the first quarter. Midway through the second quarter, Michigan State put together an 11-play, 80-yard drive to pull even at 7. Walt Kowalczyk’s 30-yard run to the UCLA 17 set up Morrall’s 13-yard touchdown toss to Clarence Peaks. On the second play of the fourth quarter, the Spartans took their first lead at 14-7 on Peaks’ 67-yard TD pass to John Lewis, who caught the ball on the 50 and took it the distance. Five minutes later, UCLA’s passing game produced a big play as Ronnie Knox hit Decker with a 47-yard bomb to the MSU 7. Three plays later, Doug Peters scored on a 1-yard plunge at center. Morrall directed an 11-play, 59-yard drive to the UCLA 24, but Gerald Planutis missed a 41-yard field-goal attempt. Five penalties were called in the closing minutes and field position shifted in Michigan State’s favor when UCLA was whistled for three-straight fouls. The Spartans’ game-winning drive started at the UCLA 19.

1954 ROSE BOWl

Billy Wells ran for one touchdown and returned a punt for another score to lead No. 3 Michigan State to a 28-20 victory over No. 5 UCLA in the 1954 Rose Bowl. UCLA jumped out to a 14-0 lead, capitalizing on two Spartan turnovers. Midway through the first quarter, Jim Salsbury recovered a fumble on the MSU 37 and six plays later, Paul Cameron hit Bill Stits with a 13-yard TD strike to give the Bruins a 7-0 lead. Early in the second quarter, Hardiman Cureton and Bob Long combined to sack Spartan QB Earl Morrall, who fumbled, and Cureton fell on it at the MSU 18. Seven plays later, Cameron scored on a 2-yard run off left tackle. The momentum changed midway through the second quarter when Ellis Duckett blocked Cameron’s punt from the UCLA 25 and returned it 6 yards for a touchdown as the Spartans cut the deficit to 14-7 at halftime. The Spartans dominated play in the third quarter. Michigan State took the second-half kickoff and drove 78 yards in 14 plays with LeRoy Bolden scoring on a 1-yard dive to tie the game at 14. Wells capped a 10-play, 73-yard drive with a 2-yard TD run to give the Spartans their first lead at 21-14 late in the third quarter. Early in the fourth quarter, UCLA forced another fumble and Jack Ellena recovered it at the MSU 24. Two plays later, Cameron hit Rommie Loudd with a 28-yard TD toss but Cameron’s conversion attempt sailed wide and the Bruins still trailed 21-20. Michigan State iced the game when Wells returned Cameron’s punt 62 yards for a touch-down with 4:51 left in the fourth quarter. Wells led a well-balanced Spartan running attack, picking up 80 yards on 14 carries.

1966 ROSE BOWl

Gary Beban ran for two touchdowns and threw for 147 yards to lead No. 5 UCLA to a 14-12 upset win over No. 2 Michigan State in the 1966 Rose Bowl. Michigan State committed four first-half turnovers, with the first coming late in the first quarter as Don Japinga fumbled away a punt at the Spartan 6 that UCLA’s John Erquiaga recovered. On the opening play of the second quarter, Beban scored on a 1-yard sneak to give the Bruins a 7-0 lead. UCLA then surprised the Spartans with an on-sides kick that Bruin Dallas Grider recovered at the MSU 42. Beban hooked up with Kurt Altenburg for a 27-yard pass to the MSU 1. Beban capped off the five-play, 42-yard drive with another 1-yard sneak as UCLA scored twice in 3:07 to build a 14-0 lead. Michigan State rallied late in the fourth quarter, scoring twice in the final 6:13. Steve Juday’s 42-yard strike to Gene Washington set up Bob Apisa’s 38-yard TD run. Juday’s two-point pass attempt failed and the Spartans trailed 14-6. The Spartan defense held on the next series and Bubba Smith partially blocked Larry Cox’s punt to give MSU possession at the UCLA 49. Juday finished off the 14-play scoring drive with a 1-yard sneak with :31 left. On the two-point try, Apisa was stopped short of the goal line by Grider and Bob Stiles. UCLA stopped the Spartans on fourth-and-1 plays three times in the second half, including twice in the fourth quarter. Michigan State outgained UCLA in total yards, 314-212. The Spartans picked up 204 yards on the ground, with Clinton Jones rushing for 113 yards on 20 carries.

1984 ChERRy BOWl

Wishbone quarterback Nate Sassaman rushed for 136 yards on 28 carries to lead Army, making its first-ever bowl appearance, to a 10-6 triumph over Michigan State in the 1984 Cherry Bowl. Michigan State had an early scoring chance after Phil Parker intercepted a rare Army pass and returned it 18 yards to the Cadet 43. Three plays netted only 8 yards and Ralf Mojsiejenko’s 52-yard field-goal attempt missed wide left. The Spartans put together a nine-play, 58-yard drive but early in the second quarter on third-and-goal from the Army 5, Dave Yarema’s pass was intercepted in the end zone by Kermit McKelvy. A Michigan State fumble near midfield led to Army’s only touchdown. Cadet Clarence Jones capped off an eight-play, 46-yard drive with a 4-yard run off right tackle to give Army a 7-0 lead with 6:41 left in the first half. Early in the third quarter, Sassaman rushed eight times for 37 yards during a 14-play, 49-yard drive, but Craig Stopa’s 32-yard field-goal try went wide right. Army converted a Spartan fumble into a field goal and a 10-0 lead in the fourth quarter as a 15-play, 59-yard drive produced a 38-yard field goal by Stopa with 8:40 remaining. A Cadet fumble gave Michigan State life as Tom Allan recovered the ball at the MSU 49. Three plays later, Yarema found Bob Wasczenski in the left corner of the end zone with a 36-yard TD strike. The two-point pass attempt failed and Michigan State trailed 10-6 with 4:19 left. Army gained 256 yards rushing on 71 attempts while control-ling the clock for 34:05. The Cadets sacked Yarema six times and picked off three of his passes, including two by Doug Pavek.

1988 ROSE BOWl

John Langeloh kicked a 36-yard field goal with 4:14 left in the fourth quarter, which proved to be the game winner, as No. 8 Michigan State defeated No. 16 Southern Cal, 20-17, in the 1988 Rose Bowl. The Spartans, making their first trip to Pasadena in 22 years, ended the Big Ten’s six-game losing streak in the Rose Bowl. USC scored on its second possession as a 12-play, 52-yard drive produced a 34-yard field goal by Quin Rodriguez. MSU responded with a 15-play, 76-yard drive of its own to take a 7-3 lead on Lorenzo White’s 5-yard touchdown run around left end with :54 left in the first quarter. The Spartans built a 14-3 advantage early in the second quarter as Bobby McAllister’s 55-yard completion to Andre Rison set up White’s second TD run from 3 yards out. The Trojans cut the deficit to 14-10 early in the third quarter as Rodney Peete hit Kevin Henry with a 33-yard TD strike. Michigan State extended its lead to 17-10 on Langeloh’s 40-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter. USC put together a 10-play, 80-yard drive to tie the score at 17 on Peete’s 22-yard TD toss to Henry in the back of the end zone with 8:33 remaining. Facing a third-and-8 from the MSU 30, McAllister eluded a heavy rush and completed a 36-yard pass to Rison for a first down at the USC 34. Blake Ezor carried the ball six straight times to the USC 18 to set up Langeloh’s game-winning field goal. USC took the ensuing kickoff and drove to the MSU 30, but Peete fumbled away the center snap and Todd Krumm recovered. John Miller iced the game for the Spartans, intercepting Peete’s “Hail Mary” pass at the MSU 13 with only :03 left. USC dominated the final stats, outgaining MSU, 410-276, in total yards but the Trojans committed five turnovers while the Spartans managed to play error-free football. White gained a game-high 113 yards rushing and scored twice.

Wayne Johnson threw three touchdown passes and Rodney Hampton scored three times to lead Georgia to a 34-27 win over Michigan State in the 1989 Gator Bowl. Georgia head coach Vince Dooley went out a winner in his final game in 25 seasons. The loss ended MSU’s six-game winning streak. The Bulldogs jumped out to a 17-0 lead on Johnson’s 6-yard TD toss to Hampton, Steve Crumley’s 39-yard field goal and Johnson’s 30-yard TD strike to Hampton. The Spartans got on the scoreboard late in the first half as Bobby McAllister finished off a 10-play, 80-yard drive with a 4-yard TD pass to Andre Rison. Midway through the third quarter, Georgia put together a six-play, 64-yard drive to extend its lead to 24-7 on Kirk Warner’s 18-yard TD catch from Johnson. MSU responded with an eight-play, 78-yard scoring drive as McAllister hit Rison with a 55-yard bomb. A 36-yard field goal by Crumley gave the Bulldogs a 27-13 advantage with 2:16 left in the third quarter.

1993 liBERty BOWl

Jeff Brohm completed 19-of-29 passes for 197 yards and a touchdown to lead Louisville to an 18-7 win over Michigan State in the 1993 Liberty Bowl. Michigan State’s only touchdown came on the game’s first series. The Spartans took the opening kickoff and drove 79 yards in 11 plays with Duane Goulbourne twisting into the end zone on a 1-yard run over left guard. Spartan QB Jim Miller started with a hot hand, hitting all four pass attempts for 50 yards on the first series. Louisville also scored on its first possession as an eight-play, 56-yard march ended with David Akers’ 31-yard field goal. Midway through the second quarter, the Spartans missed out on a scoring chance when Bill Stoyanovich misfired on a 31-yard field-goal attempt. Louisville put together a 14-play, 74-yard drive in the third quarter, but failed to put points on the scoreboard as Akers missed a 23-yard field-goal try. Brohm directed a seven-play, 59-yard drive for the go-ahead score early in the fourth quarter, hitting Reggie Ferguson on a crossing pattern for a 25-yard TD pass. A 24-yard interception return by Darius Watson gave Louisville the ball back at the MSU 33 but seven plays later, the Spartan defense stopped Anthony Shelman short of the goal line on fourth-and-1. The Cardinals got two points back on the next play as Joe Johnson and Tyrus McCloud tackled Spartan tailback Craig Thomas in his own end zone for a safety. Louisville iced the game with a seven-play, 54-yard drive as Ralph Dawkins scored on an 11-yard sweep around right end.

1990 SUN BOWl

Courtney Hawkins accounted for 216 all-purpose yards and caught a touchdown pass to lead No. 22 Michigan State to a 17-16 win over No. 21 Southern Cal in the 1990 Sun Bowl. MSU dodged a bullet early as Mike Iaquaniello intercepted a Todd Marinovich pass in the end zone on USC’s first series. Late in the first quarter, the Trojans put together an eight-play, 60-yard drive to take a 7-0 lead on Marinovich’s 7-yard pass to Gary Wellman. After a Spartan fumble, USC was again knocking on the door, but on a fourth-and-inches play from inside the MSU 1, Marinovich mishandled the snap from center and Alan Haller recovered the fumble in the end zone for a touchback. MSU took advantage of the turnover and Hyland Hickson capped a 10-play, 80-yard drive with an 18-yard TD run with 2:22 left in the first half. USC opened the second half with an 18-play, 80-yard drive that lasted nine minutes but it had to settle for a 20-yard field goal from Quin Rodriguez. The Spartans responded by scoring 10-straight points. On a third-and-13 play from the MSU 26, Dan Enos hit Hawkins on a post pattern for a 41-yard gain and a first down at the USC 33. Four plays later, Hawkins scored on a 21-yard pass from Enos that gave MSU its first lead at 14-10. Freddie Wilson’s interception at the USC 34 late in the third quarter led to a 52-yard field goal by John Langeloh as the Spartans built a 17-10 advantage. The Trojans got field goals of 54 and 43 yards from Rodriguez in the fourth quarter to cut the deficit to 17-16. MSU iced the game with two rushing first downs in the final three minutes. Hawkins caught six passes for 106 yards and a score to earn Sun Bowl MVP honors. Enos connected on 9-of-17 throws for 131 yards, including eight-straight completions during one stretch.

1995 iNDEPENDENCE BOWl

Kevin Faulk rushed for 234 yards on 25 carries and scored twice to lead Louisiana State to a 45-26 victory over Michigan State in the 1995 Independence Bowl. Michigan State got out of the gate early, scoring on the second play from scrimmage as Tony Banks hooked up with Muhsin Muhammad for a 78-yard touchdown pass. LSU also scored on its first possession as Kendall Cleveland capped a seven-play, 80-yard drive with a 6-yard TD run to tie the score at 7. Carl Reaves’ 17-yard interception return set up the Spartans’ second touchdown, a 3-yard run by Scott Greene for a 13-7 lead. Michigan State’s lead lasted only 14 seconds as Eddie Kennison returned the ensuing kickoff 92 yards for a touchdown. The Spartans regained the lead 13 seconds later when Derrick Mason returned the kickoff 100 yards for a score. Faulk’s 33-yard kickoff return gave LSU great field position at its own 43 and two plays later, he tied the game at 21 on a 51-yard TD run. Michigan State took a 24-21 lead into the locker room at halftime thanks to Chris Gardner’s 37-yard field goal with :01 left in the first half.

2000 CitRUS BOWl

Paul Edinger kicked a 39-yard field goal as time expired to give No. 9 Michigan State a 37-34 victory over No. 10 Florida in the 2000 Florida Citrus Bowl. It marked Michigan State’s first New Year’s Day bowl victory since the 1988 Rose Bowl and it ended a four-game losing streak in postseason play. There were five lead changes in the contest. The Spartans opened the scoring as an eight-play, 36-yard drive resulted in a 46-yard field goal by Edinger. Florida took a 7-3 lead as Travis Taylor scored on a 12-yard toss from Doug Johnson. Michigan State jumped out to a 17-7 lead in the second quarter on Bill Burke’s 37-yard TD strike to Plaxico Burress and a 24-yard fumble return by T.J. Turner. The Gators pulled to within 17-14 on Johnson’s 8-yard TD pass to Taylor. Edinger’s second field goal, a 20-yarder, gave the Spartans a 20-14 lead, but Johnson scored on a 1-yard sneak to put Florida ahead at the half, 21-20. Burke directed a 10-play, 84-yard drive late in the third quarter, hooking up with Burress for a 21-yard scoring pass as MSU grabbed a 26-21 lead. Florida built a 34-26 lead on Johnson’s third TD pass to Taylor, a 39-yarder, and Rob Gillespie’s 2-yard TD run. Michigan State rallied to tie the score at 34 early in the fourth quarter as Burke found Burress alone in the end zone for a 30-yard completion and hit Gari Scott for the two-point conversion. Lloyd Clemons’ 8-yard run on third-and-2 set up Edinger’s game-winning kick from the Florida 22.

2001 silicon valley football classic

Jeff Smoker threw for a career-high 376 yards and three touchdowns, including two scoring strikes to Charles Rogers, to lead Michigan State to a 44-35 victory over No. 20 Fresno State in the 2001 Silicon Valley Football Classic. It took Fresno State 59 seconds to put its first touchdown on the scoreboard, a 5-yard TD toss from David Carr to Stephen Spach. MSU tied the game at 7 on Smoker’s 72-yard bomb to Rogers with 6:16 left in the first quarter. The Spartans scored again 22 seconds later to take a 14-7 lead as Monquiz Wedlow recovered a mishandled snap in the end zone. The Bulldogs pulled even at 14 on Carr’s 36-yard TD pass to Rodney Wright. MSU built a 24-14 lead on Dave Rayner’s 41-yard field goal and T.J. Duckett’s 5-yard TD run. Fresno State cut its deficit to 24-21 as Carr again hooked up with Wright, this time for a 79-yard scoring play. MSU responded by scoring 13-straight points to build a 37-21 halftime lead, thanks to Duckett’s 39-yard TD run and Smoker’s 69-yard TD throw to Rogers. Midway through the third quarter, Fresno State cut its deficit to 37-28 on a 2-yard TD run by Paris Gaines. A blocked punt set up Fresno State’s final score, a 15-yard screen pass from Carr to Gaines, as the Bulldogs rallied to within two at 37-35 with 6:04 remaining. The Spartans clinched the game with a seven-play, 77-yard drive that resulted in Smoker’s third TD pass, a 5-yard toss to Ivory McCoy with 1:59 left.

2003 alamo bowl

Cory Ross rushed for a career-high 138 yards and two scores to lead No. 22 Nebraska to a 17-3 victory over Michigan State in the 2003 MasterCard Alamo Bowl. Ross carried the ball seven times for 37 yards on Nebraska’s opening drive to set up David Dyches’ 29-yard field goal as the Cornhuskers took a 3-0 lead with 8:19 left in the first quarter. Michigan State answered with a 10-play, 48-yard drive, with Jeff Smoker completing 5-of-6 passes for 43 yards, and pulled even on a 46-yard field goal by Dave Rayner with 3:53 remaining in the first quarter. Jammal Lord’s 58-yard completion to Isaiah Fluellen early in the second quarter gave the Cornhuskers first-and-goal at the MSU 6. Two plays later, Ross scored on a 2-yard run as Nebraska jumped out to a 10-3 lead with 13:17 left in the first half. Late in the second quarter, Lord broke free for a 66-yard gain to the MSU 14. Two plays later, Ross raced 6 yards for a touchdown as the Cornhuskers built a 17-3 lead with 3:20 to play in the first half. The Spartan defense bounced back in the second half, allowing only 106 total yards while holding Nebraska scoreless. Michigan State’s offense came to life midway through the fourth quarter. Smoker completed five-straight passes for 39 yards and Tyrell Dortch gained 16 yards on two running plays as the Spartans marched to the Cornhusker 17. After a personal-foul penalty pushed the Spartans back 15 yards, Pat Ricketts ended the scoring threat when he picked off Smoker’s throw intended for Aaron Alexander at the Nebraska 24. The Cornhuskers limited Michigan State to a season-low 174 total yards – nearly 210 yards below its season average. Nebraska sacked Smoker five times for 37 yards and forced three interceptions.

Matt Ryan completed 22-of-47 passes for 249 yards and three scores to lead No. 14 Boston College to a 24-21 victory over Michigan State in the 2007 Champs Sports Bowl. The Eagle defense forced five turnovers, including two interceptions by All-American Jamie Silva. Michigan State started the game with a bang, as Devin Thomas returned the opening kickoff 79 yards to the BC 18. Three plays later, Kellen Davis scored on an 18-yard strike from Brian Hoyer as the Spartans jumped out to a 7-0 lead. A fumble inside the MSU 20 set up BC’s first score, a 1-yard toss from Ryan to Jon Loyte that tied the game at 7 with 36 seconds left in the first quarter. Boston College took the lead for good on its next possession as a 10-play, 70-yard drive resulted in Ryan’s second TD pass, a 29-yarder to Rich Gunnell, with 8:54 remaining in the second quarter. Late in the first half, Michigan State caught a break as Johnny Ayers shanked a 12-yard punt that went out of bounds at the BC 30. Three plays netted only 8 yards and the Spartans had to settle for a 39-yard field goal from Brett Swenson to pull to within 14-10. On its opening possession of the third quarter, Michigan State put together an 11-play, 54-yard drive that resulted in Swenson’s 23-yard field goal and cut its deficit to 14-13. Boston College answered on its next series as Steve Aponavicius capped an 11-play, 69-yard drive with a 28-yard field goal to extend its lead to 17-13. Ryan’s 68-yard bomb to Gunnell early in the fourth quarter gave the Eagles a 24-13 lead. Midway through the fourth quarter, Greg Jones sacked Ryan and forced a fumble that Oren Wilson recovered at the BC 37. Three plays later, Hoyer hooked up with Deon Curry for a 14-yard scoring pass as the Spartans rallied to within 24-21 with 6:04 left in the game. Michigan State got the ball back twice in the closing minutes but failed to enter BC territory. The Spartans outgained Boston College in total yards, 303-276. MSU’s Javon Ringer rushed 21 times for 101 yards against the nation’s top-ranked rushing defense.

2009 caPital one bowl

Matthew Stafford completed 20-of-31 throws for 250 yards and three touchdowns to lead No. 16 Georgia to a 24-12 victory over No. 19 Michigan State in the 2009 Capital One Bowl. Michigan State took the opening kickoff and drove the ball to the Georgia 39-yard line, but Dwayne Holmes was stopped short of a first down on a fake punt. The Bulldogs responded with an eight-play, 48-yard drive of their own and took a 3-0 lead on Blair Walsh’s 32-yard field goal with 9:26 left in the first quarter. Georgia’s second possession resulted in a turnover, as Kendell Davis-Clark returned his first career interception 24 yards to set up Brett Swenson’s 20-yard field goal that tied the score at 3 with 4:50 to play in the opening quarter. The Spartans forced two turnovers in the first quarter but managed to produce only a field goal. Late in the first half, another Georgia miscue – a mishandled snap by punter Brian Mimbs – gave the Spartans great field position at the UGA 40. However, Michigan State had to settle for a 32-yard field goal from Swenson and a 6-3 halftime lead after Brian Hoyer was sacked by Jarius Wynn for a 5-yard loss on a third-and-6 play from the Bulldog 10. Georgia’s offense came to life in the second half, as Stafford connected on 14-of-17 passes for 179 yards and three scores. Stafford capped off a 10-play, 96-yard drive with a 35-yard TD strike to Michael Moore as the Bulldogs took the lead for good at 10-6 with 3:31 remaining in the third quarter. Prince Miller’s 38-yard punt return plus a 15-yard personal-foul penalty set up Stafford’s second scoring pass, a 21-yarder to Aron White with 0:09 to play in the third quarter to build a 17-6 advantage. Early in the fourth quarter, Michigan State pulled to within 17-12 as Javon Ringer finished off a 10-play, 54-yard drive with a 1-yard plunge for his school-record 22nd TD run of the season. Georgia answered with an 11-play, 67-yard drive and iced the game on Stafford’s 21-yard TD toss to Knowshon Moreno, who made the grab over Greg Jones at the front corner of the end zone. The Bulldog defense held Michigan State to a season-low 236 total yards, including just 31 yards on 34 rushing attempts.

2010 valero alamo bowl

Steven Sheffield came off the bench to complete 9-of-11 passes for 88 yards and direct two fourth-quarter scoring drives as Texas Tech rallied from a four-point deficit for a 41-31 victory over Michigan State in the 2010 Valero Alamo Bowl. There were four lead changes in the second half as the teams combined for 72 points and 975 total yards. Texas Tech jumped out to a 7-0 lead as Baron Batch capped a nine-play, 61-yard drive with a 3-yard touchdown run with 8:00 left in the first quarter. The Spartans tied the score at 7 on Edwin Baker’s 46-yard TD run with 3:47 remaining in the first quarter. Early in the second quarter, the Red Raiders built a 17-7 lead on Matt Williams’ 21-yard field goal and Taylor Potts’ 2-yard TD toss to Lyle Leong. MSU responded with a quick strike, as Kirk Cousins hooked up with Keshawn Martin for a 48-yard scoring play with 8:06 left in the first half. A 38-yard field goal by Williams gave Texas Tech a 20-14 halftime lead. The Red Raiders’ Eric Stephens fumbled the second-half kickoff and Brett Swenson recovered the ball at the Texas Tech 26. Five plays later, Keith Nichol scored his first career rushing TD on a 7-yard keeper up the middle as MSU took its first lead at 21-20. Midway through the third quarter, Texas Tech put together a nine-play, 92-yard drive and regained the lead at 27-21 on a 14-yard TD pass from Potts to Jacoby Franks. An 18-yard completion from punter Aaron Bates to Charlie Gantt on a fourth-and-5 play set up Martin’s 8-yard TD strike to Blair White as MSU took a 28-27 lead with 1:18 left in the third quarter. Baker’s 26-yard run early in the fourth quarter led to a 44-yard field goal by Swenson as the Spartans extended their lead to 31-27. Sheffield finished off an eight-play, 77-yard drive with an 11-yard TD pass to Detron Lewis as Texas Tech took the lead for good at 34-31 with 5:03 remaining in the game. MSU’s next possession resulted in a turnover, as Franklin Mitchem intercepted Cousins’ pass intended for Martin at the Spartan 35. Nine plays later, Batch iced the game with his 13-yard TD gallop.

2011 caPital one bowl

Mark Ingram and Eddie Lacy combined to rush for 145 yards and four touchdowns to lead No. 15 Alabama to a 49-7 victory over No. 7 Michigan State in the 2011 Capital One Bowl. Alabama scored on its first four possessions to build a 28-0 halftime lead. The Crimson Tide took the opening kickoff and drove 79 yards in 11 plays and jumped out to a 7-0 lead on Ingram’s 1-yard TD run. On its opening series, Michigan State drove to the Alabama 24 but on a third-and-18 play, Kirk Cousins’ pass attempt was intercepted by Robert Lester. Trent Richardson capped off an eight-play, 62-yard drive with an 8-yard TD run with 14:33 left in the second quarter. Trailing 14-0, a 28-yard completion from Cousins to Brian Linthicum gave MSU a first-and-goal at the Crimson Tide 7. Facing third-and-goal from the 8-yard line, Cousins fumbled while being sacked by Courtney Upshaw as the play resulted in a 30-yard loss and took the Spartans out of field-goal range. Ingram reached paydirt on a 6-yard run and Julio Jones scored on a 35-yard reverse around left end as Alabama took a 28-0 lead to the locker room. Greg McElroy hooked up with Marquis Maze for a 37-yard scoring play and Lacy added TD runs of 12 and 62 yards as the Crimson Tide built a 49-0 lead. The Spartans avoided a shutout as Bennie Fowler scored on a 49-yard pass from Keith Nichol with 5:45 remaining in the fourth quarter. Alabama limited MSU to a season-low 171 total yards – nearly 236 yards below its regular-season average. Upshaw recorded five tackles with three resulting in losses (29 yards), including two sacks, to earn game MVP honors.

Georgia jumped out to a 16-0 lead as Brandon Boykin tackled Keshawn Martin for a 2-yard loss and a safety on MSU’s first play from scrimmage, Aaron Murray hit Tavarres King for an 80-yard touchdown, and Boykin returned a punt 92 yards for a touchdown. The Spartan defense helped set the tone in the second half, as Georgia’s first possession ended with Darqueze Dennard’s interception at the Bulldog 48. Nine plays later, Le’Veon Bell scored on an 8-yard run around right end, and with Kirk Cousins’ 2-point pass to Brian Linthicum, the Spartans had cut Georgia’s lead in half at 16-8. Late in the third quarter, Dennard returned his second interception 38 yards for a touchdown as MSU pulled to within 16-14. Trailing 19-14 early in the fourth quarter, Cousins’ 50-yard completion to Linthicum set up his 7-yard TD strike to Keith Nichol on a third-and-goal play. The Bulldogs responded with a five-play, 81-yard drive to take a 27-20 lead on Murray’s 13-yard TD toss to Boykin. Down seven with 1:55 remaining and no timeouts, Cousins engineered a 10-play, 85-yard drive, as the Spartans rallied to send the game into overtime on Bell’s 1-yard TD run with 14 seconds left in regulation. Cousins accounted for 84 of MSU’s 85 yards on the scoring drive, connecting on 6-of-8 passes for 64 yards and scrambling for another 20 yards. After a score-less first overtime, the teams traded field goals in the second overtime.

Athletics Director MArk hollis“We gather and engage our community to teach, support and celebrate our student-athletes in their quest for excellence.”

This is the vision Mark Hollis has for the Michigan State Athletics Department. A Michigan State graduate and veteran Spartan athletics administrator, Hollis assumed the role of MSU’s 18th athletics director on Jan. 1, 2008, succeeding Ron Mason.

Hollis has more than 20 years of athletics administration experience, either at the school or conference level. His well-rounded background has led to his knowledge of all areas within an athletics department, including marketing, financial administration, television negotiations, fund-raising, game operations, facility management, personnel policy, corporate interaction, sports management and public relations.

A 1985 MSU graduate, Hollis returned to his alma mater in 1995. Since then, he has been a critical component of the athletics department executive management staff, helping guide the department through short- and long-range plans. In addition, Hollis is chair of the Division I Amateurism Cabinet, a member of the NCAA’s Men’s Basketball Issues Committee and a member of the Division I Men’s Basketball Committee.

Hollis’ leadership guided the Spartans to another excellent year in 2011-12, and he was rewarded for his efforts by being named the 2012 Athletic Director of the Year by Street & Smith’s SportsBusiness Journal/Daily.

The 49-year-old Hollis is credited with developing some of college athletics’ most innovative events. It was his vision that led to Michigan State playing North Carolina in November 2011 in the first basketball game to be played on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier. In 2003, Hollis was the architect of the “BasketBowl,” which established a then-world record crowd of 78,129 who witnessed the Michigan State-Kentucky game at Detroit’s Ford Field. The concept, which involves placing the court in the center of a football stadium, has been used at the last four NCAA Final Fours.

In 2001, Hollis helped mastermind the Michigan State-Michigan outdoor hockey game that attracted a then-world record crowd of 74,554 in Spartan Stadium. As a result, the number of outdoor hockey games has steadily increased, and on Jan. 1, 2013, the NHL’s Winter Classic comes to state of Michigan with the intent of breaking another attendance record.

On the playing field in 2011-12, Michigan State won three Big Ten Championships (women’s cross country, men’s basketball and women’s golf), bringing the total to 15 conference championships since Hollis was appointed athletics director in 2008. In addition, the Spartan football team won the 2011 Big Ten Legends Division title and played in the inaugural Big Ten Championship Game. Michigan State became bowl eligible for a school-record fifth consecutive year and finished ranked No. 10 in the final USA TODAY Coaches Poll after tying the school single-season record with 11 wins, including a dramatic 33-30 triple-overtime victory over Georgia in the 2012 Outback Bowl.

The men’s basketball team captured a share of the conference regular-season championship, won the 2012 Big Ten Tournament title, and advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16 for the 10th time in the last 15 seasons. During Hollis’ tenure, MSU has appeared in 15 consecutive NCAA Tournaments – the longest current streak among Big Ten schools and the third longest in the nation.

Often recognized for thinking outside the box, Hollis raised some eyebrows when he hired former CCHA Commissioner Tom Anastos as hockey coach in March 2011. In his first year behind the bench, Anastos led the Spartans to their first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2008.

Overall, nine sports participated in their respective team NCAA Championships, while individuals competed in five more NCAA Championships. The Spartan volleyball team advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2007, while the women’s basketball team earned its fourth-straight trip to the NCAA Tournament. The women’s cross

country team placed 16th in the NCAA Championships – its best finish since 2008 – and the women’s golf team reached the NCAA Championships for the eighth time in the past 13 years. Thirty-one members of the MSU track and field qualified for the NCAA Regionals, with seven advancing to the NCAA Championships. In addition, the women’s rowing team made its 14th appearance in the 15-year history of the NCAA Rowing Championships and the baseball team earned a bid to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1979. The Spartans finished 34th overall in the 2011-12 Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup standings.

During his tenure, Michigan State student-athletes have excelled not only in competition, but in the classroom as well. In the spring of 2012, the athletics department posted the highest grade-point average in program history with a 3.0644. It marks the third-consecutive semester that student-athletes have posted better than a 3.0 cumulative GPA. The department also set another benchmark as 17 teams achieved a 3.0 or higher term GPA during the spring semester. Additionally, 241 student-athletes earned Academic All-Big Ten honors throughout the academic year, including 59 Big Ten Distinguished Scholars (min. 3.7 GPA).

Spartan athletic facilities have been upgraded at an unprecedented rate the past decade, and will only continue to improve under Hollis. This season, Spartan Stadium will have a remarkably different look with the addition of new scoreboards, giving Michigan State one of the top video board systems in the nation. The $10 million project features a 130-foot tall structure in the south end zone with a 5,300-square-foot video board; the previous board, which was installed in 1998, was only 567-square feet. There are two video boards in the north end zone, each measuring 1,750-square feet, in addition to a 4,500-square-foot LED ring (450 feet long and 10 feet high). The combined total for the south and north video boards will be 13,300-square feet.

The Spartans moved into one of the nation’s finest football facilities in August 2008, as a $15 million expansion and renovation project for the Duffy Daugherty Football Building was completed. MSU alumni Robert and Julie Skandalaris of Bloomfield Hills, Mich., donated $5 million as the lead gift for the facility expansion and upgrade. The Skandalaris Football Center includes new team, staff and position meeting rooms, coaches’ offices and a hall of history. In addition, an expanded weight room was finished in September 2008 that increased the facility in size from 9,000 to 16,500-square feet.

Also in 2008, the men’s and women’s soccer programs opened DeMartin Stadium, a state-of-the-art 2,500-seat facility that enables MSU to host conference and national tournaments. The baseball program played its inaugural season in McLane Baseball Stadium in 2009 following a $4 million donation to the 2,500-seat ballpark by former Houston Astros owner Drayton McLane Jr. In 2011, with the help of a $1 million gift by alumnus Ambassador Peter F. Secchia – the largest cash (outright) gift received by an MSU women’s intercollegiate sports program – Secchia Stadium, a 1,100-seat facility located at Old College Field, opened for the softball program.

In 2010-11, Michigan State had a record-setting year, winning five Big Ten Championships – the most in department history.

The football team won a school-record 11 games and claimed the program’s seventh Big Ten Championship en route to participating in the 2011 Capital One Bowl. The baseball team won its first Big Ten title since 1979, while the women’s cross country, women’s basketball and women’s golf teams also won conference championships.

In 2009-10, the men’s basketball team advanced to the Final Four for the sixth time in the last 12 years and won its second-straight Big Ten regular-season title, field hockey captured both the Big Ten regular-season and tournament championships, and the football team appeared in its third-straight bowl game.

One of Hollis’ major goals upon becoming athletics director was accomplished in 2010 when he unveiled the new brand and identity program for the athletics department. All of Michigan State’s uniforms now incorporate consistent use of colors, logos, lettering and numerals along with standardization for logos. The brand and identity program for Michigan State Athletics was a result of nearly a two-year collaborative effort between the athletics department and Nike that included input from university and athletic administration, coaches and student-athletes. Michigan State also was selected to participate in the 2011 Nike Football Pro Combat system of uniforms, which the Spartans wore during their victory over Michigan on Oct. 15.

In Hollis’ first full season as athletics director in 2008-09, Michigan State enjoyed one of its most successful years of the decade with a 27th-place finish in the Directors’ Cup, the best showing for the department since 2003 and the third highest in the department’s history. Ten teams earned bids to their respective NCAA Championships, led by men’s basketball, which reached the national title game against North Carolina while also winning the Big Ten regular-season championship.

Hollis was named athletics director-designate on Sept. 12, 2007, and teamed with Mason in the transition throughout the fall of 2007. Prior to his official appointment as athletics director, Hollis played a lead role in two significant head coaching searches during the 2006-07 year. He spearheaded the effort to hire Mark Dantonio as football coach, which has resulted in five-consecutive bowl appearances for the program and a Big Ten Championship in 2010. He also provided major assistance in the hiring of women’s basketball coach Suzy Merchant in the spring of 2007, who led the Spartans to the Sweet 16 in 2009 and has brought MSU to four-straight NCAA Tournaments. Hollis’ first hire as athletics director arrived on July 2, 2008, when he tabbed Jake Boss Jr. to direct the Spartan baseball program; in just three seasons, Boss won a Big Ten title in 2011, the first for the program in 32 years, then followed in 2012 by guiding MSU to the NCAA Tournament.

On Oct. 13, 2005, Michigan State University and WJR - 760 AM announced a five-year agreement to carry Spartan football and men’s basketball games, along with coaches’ radio shows. The successful partnership led to the announcement on Jan. 19, 2010, of a 10-year extension through 2020. Hollis played a leading role in finding MSU athletics a home on the 50,000-watt Detroit radio station, known as the “Great Voice of the Great Lakes.” The agreement has benefited more than just athletics as WJR regularly promotes the academic accomplishments of the university in addition to broadcasting sporting events.

Prior to returning to Michigan State, Hollis spent two years at the University of Pittsburgh as assistant and associate athletic director.

spArtAn stADiuMspartan stadium is in its 89th season as home to michigan state football. since its opening in 1923, michigan state has won 69 percent of its games played in spartan stadium.

spartan stadium represents a tribute to michigan state’s football past and a vote of confidence in its future. a $64 million expansion project completed prior to the start of the 2005 football season features the addition of nearly 3,000 seats, including 24 suites and a 193-seat press box, bringing the current stadium capacity to 75,005. “the spartan” statue has been relocated to the atrium of the new structure. the 200,000-square-foot addition also houses the msU alumni association, University development and other units. the msU board of trustees approved the major addition and expansion project of spartan stadium in september 2003.

barton malow/clark served as the construction manager for the spartan stadium expansion project, with hntb providing architectural services.

prior to the 2012 season, new high-def panasonic video screens and scoreboards as well as a new sound system were installed in spartan stadium. the new scoreboard/video screen in the south end zone is 5,300-square feet, compared to its predecessor that measured just 567-square feet (installed in 1998). the top of the new south end zone structure will reach 130 feet. in addition, two new video boards as well as an Led ribbon board has been added to the north end zone. the Led ribbon board covers 4,500 square feet (450-feet long and 10-feet high). combined the south and north video screens/scoreboards total 13,300-square feet. the $10 million project replaces a 14-year-old scoreboard, message board and audio system.

following the June 26, 2011, U2 “360º” concert, the entire playing surface in spartan stadium had to be replaced. the new playing surface, planted in april 2010 at graff’s turf farms in fort morgan, colo., is comprised of a blend of four varieties of kentucky bluegrass. the installation of the new sod, transported to spartan stadium in 26 refrigerator trucks, took three days (July 12-15).

spartan stadium, which officially opened in 1923 at its current location, featured a natural grass playing surface until artificial turf was installed in 1969. the stadium returned to natural grass for the 2002 season. in 2005, the natural grass playing surface in spartan stadium earned field of the Year honors from the sports turf managers association (stma).

prior to the 2002 season, espn.com’s mel kiper Jr. ranked spartan stadium no. 8 on his list of the nation’s most scenic venues.

natural grass returned to spartan stadium in 2002 after a 33-year absence, with the installation of a modular field. the new playing surface, planted in may of 2001 at msU’s hancock turfgrass research center, was comprised of a blend of nine varieties of kentucky bluegrass. the original switch from natural grass to artificial turf came in time for the 1969 season.

since 1957, capacity crowds have attended 157 games in spartan stadium, including the single-game record 80,401 fans who witnessed msU’s 20-19 loss to top-ranked notre dame on sept. 22, 1990. the spartans have ranked among the ncaa’s top 25 in attendance each of the last 56 seasons, including 20th in 2011, averaging 74,078 fans per game.

season-ticket sales have topped the 60,000 mark five times in spartan football history, with an all-time record 61,479 season tickets purchased in 2000.

a series of projects paralleling the spartans’ rise to national football prominence enlarged the steel-and-concrete facility from its original 14,000 seats in 1923 to its present size in 1957.

the first came in 1935, the year in which the stadium was officially named macklin field, boosting the capacity to 26,000. the 1948 enlargement raised the total to 51,000.

after 9,000 new seats upped the capacity to 60,000 in 1956, the upper decks were added to the east and west stands in 1957, bringing the capacity to 76,000. it also became spartan stadium that year. renovations during the summer of 1994 improved sightlines and comfort for fans, while reducing the capacity to 72,027.

on oct. 6, 2001, spartan stadium added another chapter to its storied history as a world-record crowd of 74,554 attended the msU-michigan outdoor hockey game.

in 1998, spartan stadium celebrated its 75th anniversary plus it reached another milestone that season when it played host to its 400th game, a 29-5 msU victory over northwestern on oct. 31.

michigan state has compiled a 334-142-13 record (.696) since taking up residency in spartan stadium (formerly macklin field) in 1923. msU’s current 14-game home winning streak is the fifth longest in school history. the spartans have gone undefeated at home 18 times since the stadium opened in 1923. With its 49-14 victory over no. 4 Wisconsin in the 2004 home finale, michigan state recorded its 300th win in spartan stadium.

in addition, michigan state has suffered only one home loss during a season 28 times. only nine times in the history of the stadium have the spartans experienced a losing record at home.

michigan state’s longest home winning streak is 19 games from oct. 14, 1950, through nov. 21, 1953.

Playoff coming in 2014-15 on June 26, 2012, the bcs presidential oversight

committee agreed to launch a four-team playoff beginning with the 2014-15 season. the new format will continue at least 12 years, through the 2025-26 season.

the semifinals will be rotated among six bowl games and will be played either new Year’s eve or new Year’s day. the championship game, to be managed by the 11 conferences and rotated among neutral sites every year, will be played on a monday at least six days after the last semifinal game.

The Bcs at a glance • The BCS is popular. The BCS National Championship

game usually trails only the super bowl in terms of television ratings for sporting events in the United states.

• The BCS delivers the most meaningful regular season in sports. the bcs plays an important role in preserving and enhancing college football’s unique regular season where every game counts.

• The BCS maintains the bowl tradition. The BCS delivers the championship game while continuing the excitement and pageantry of the bowl games for student-athletes and fans.

The Bcs In depth the 2012-13 season will be the 15th year for the bcs, which is a five-game arrangement that is designed to match the two top-rated teams in a national championship game and to create exciting and competitive match-ups among eight other highly regarded teams in four other bowl games. it enhances the importance of the regular season and maintains the bowl system for the benefit of the game. it has been undeniably successful in achieving those goals; college football has never been more popular, and the bcs is a significant reason for that. additionally, it has provided more access to the major bowls, more television exposure, and more post-season revenue than ever before.

the five bowl games are the tostitos fiesta bowl, the discover orange bowl, the rose bowl game presented by ViZio, the allstate sugar bowl, and the bcs national championship game that is played at one of the bowl sites. the 2013 discover bcs national championship game will be played at the sun Life stadium in miami.

the bcs is not an entity. instead, it is an event managed by the 11 ncaa football bowl subdivision conferences, all of them “bcs conferences,” and the indepedent institutions through a series of contracts among bowls and television networks. the conferences are the atlantic coast, big east, big ten, big 12, conference Usa, mid-american, mountain West, sun belt, pacific-12, southeastern, and Western athletic. the conference commissioners, representing their constituents, and the notre dame athletics director, representing independent institutions, make decisions regarding all bcs matters, in consultation with an athletics directors advisory group and subject to the approval of a presidential oversight committee whose members represent all 120 fbs (formerly division i-a) programs.

the bcs games are operated by community-based organizations in each of the host cities. all bowl games provide meaningful season-ending opportunities for student-athletes.

this robust system of many post-season bowl games offers rewards for teams and places a great premium on the regular season. football weekends are an important ingredient in the overall college experience—going well beyond simply what occurs in the athletics department. for many institutions, a significant amount of the revenue that supports all athletics programs is generated by regular-season football. regular-season football weekends also permit universities, alumni, and other supporters of higher education to build and maintain close and lasting relationships. a thriving bowl structure helps ensure that the regular season remains strong and vibrant.

espn will televise all five bcs bowl games.
