Coaching staff

Cable subscribers inside the eight Big Ten states receive the network on either an expanded basic or digital basic level of service. Outside the eight states, cable operators that carry the network make it available on a variety of packages. Big Ten Network Programming

Why the Network Was Created The Big Ten Network was created to provide the conference with more national exposure for Big Ten sports while enhancing its existing television agreements with its other television partners. The conference wanted to control more fully the advertising environment in which its events were aired (the network accepts no alcohol or gambling advertising), dramatically increase exposure for women’s sports and other NCAA sports that had not previously been widely televised and improve distribution for football and men’s basketball games that were previously available only on a local or regional basis. Considered to be one of the most successful launches in cable television history, the Big Ten Network became the first network in cable or satellite television history to reach 30 million subscribers within its first 30 days on the air. The Big Ten Network is a joint venture between subsidiaries of the Big Ten Conference and Fox Cable Networks. The Big Ten Network’s Impact The network has provided an additional revenue source at a time of continued decreases in state support. The network has also provided significant and additional exposure for all Big Ten men’s and women’s sports, some of which previously received little or no television exposure. It also helps with recruiting in all sports as the ability for parents to watch their children compete from anywhere across the country is a major selling point.

2009 Recap

The Big Ten Network is on the air 24 hours per day, 365 days a year. The network annually televises more than 350 live events and streams an additional 300+ events. Each year’s schedule is comprised of approximately 35-40 football games, 105 regular season men’s basketball games, Big Ten Men’s Basketball Tournament games, 55 women’s basketball games, Big Ten Women’s Basketball Tournament games, hundreds of additional Olympic sports events and dozens of Big Ten championship events. Every Big Ten Network football game telecast is surrounded by Big Ten Football Saturday, the network’s pre-game, halftime and post-game show hosted by Dave Revsine and analysts Gerry DiNardo and Howard Griffith.

The 20-episode series will count down the top student-athletes in Big Ten history across all sports based on their collegiate careers.

2010 Spartans

2010 outlook

Michigan State played in its third consecutive bowl game last season, a first for the program since 1995-97, while gaining valuable experience for its younger players in several key positions. Entering 2010, the Spartans are looking to get back into the upper echelon of the Big Ten standings as the team features an arsenal of fast, dangerous weapons on offense and a deep group of hard-hitting playmakers on defense. The Spartans welcome back 15 starters, including seven on offense, six on defense and two specialists, and have solidified their depth on both sides of the ball. Fourth-year head coach Mark Dantonio, who has won the second-most games (22) of any Spartan coach in his first three seasons, takes a position-by-position look at the 2010 Spartans. QUARTERBACKS

2009 Recap

Junior Kirk Cousins (6-3, 202) emerged as the starting quarterback last season and went on to produce impressive numbers in his first year as a starter. Starting in 12 games, Cousins ranked among MSU’s Top 10 single-season leaders in several categories, including total offense (2,780 yards; third), passing yards (2,680 yards; fourth), completions (198; sixth), touchdowns (19; seventh), pass attempts (328; seventh) and passing efficiency (142.6; eighth). Cousins’ 19 passing TDs were third most in the Big Ten and his passing efficiency ranked third in the Big Ten and 25th nationally. In addition, he recorded eight 200-yard passing games, which stands third in an MSU season. More importantly than the statistics, however, is the experience Cousins gained last season. Not only was he a first-year starting quarterback, but he was also elected a team captain by his teammates, becoming only the second sophomore captain in MSU’s 113year football history. “I think Kirk did an outstanding job last year,” Dantonio said. “He’s always been an extremely mature, hard-working individual. He’s determined he can play, and play at a high level under pressure, which is something I feel as well. “Looking back at last year, he hadn’t won the quarterback job yet and was elected team captain. When that happens, there’s a lot of pressure. You have to be able to balance things, and that was tough on him. But I think the biggest advantage that he has now is that he’s secured himself as a player on the field and as a leader on this football team. He feels more at ease now to lead, and he can impact so many other people by doing that. “That year of experience on the field without question is going to help him because you can prepare him all you want, but there’s nothing like getting him ready for a national TV audience or playing in front of 80,000 people. There’s a difference, and now he has that experience, so I think that he’ll be ready to conquer that next situation of winning games down the stretch.” Backing up Cousins will be red-shirt freshman Andrew Maxwell (6-3, 200). The development of Maxwell over the past year has allowed Dantonio to move Keith Nichol, an extremely talented and multi-dimensional threat, to wide receiver. Nichol saw action at quarterback in 10 games last season,

In his first year as a starter, Kirk Cousins completed 60.4 percent of his passes for 2,680 yards and 19 touchdowns. Cousins ranked third in the Big Ten and No. 25 in the NCAA in passing efficiency with his 142.6 rating.

including a start in the road win at Illinois, but was moved to split end during bowl practice and continued to learn the position during the spring. Thrust into the back-up role, Maxwell took reps with the first- and second-teams all spring and capped his successful spring season by completing 18-of-34 passes for 244 yards and a touchdown in the GreenWhite game. “We were able to move Keith to wide receiver as a luxury in the spring because of the progress made by Andrew,” Dantonio said. “We see a huge upside in him as a young football player, and we feel it’s important to continue to develop him for the future. He has a tremendous arm, displays great poise, and he understands the offense. He also has leadership qualities and charisma. All of those factors allowed us to make the move.” The depth at quarterback also includes true freshman Joe Boisture (6-5, 212), an Elite 11 Quarterback who enrolled in January and participated in spring practice. “We’re in a great quarterback situation,” said Dantonio. “We have four quarterbacks for the first time since I’ve been here when you include Keith into that mix. We’re not going to do that at this point, but in an emergency situation or at times he will play there. I think we have four outstanding quarterbacks, and the future looks very bright.” RUNNING BACKS/fullbacks

Last season, the starting competition at running back was one of the most intense in preseason camp. The situation is much clearer in 2010 as sophomores Larry Caper (5-11, 220) and Edwin Baker (5-9, 208) have a grip on the top two spots after superb rookie seasons. The dynamic freshman duo were the top two rushers on the team, combining for 895 yards and seven touchdowns in 2009. Caper, a Freshman All-Big Ten selection by ESPN. com and the Sporting News, appeared in 12 games, including starts in five of the last eight contests. He led the team in rushing (468 yards), rushing TDs (six) and carries (120), and his game-winning, 23-yard touchdown run in overtime propelled the Spartans to their second consecutive victory over Michigan. After playing in the season opener against Montana State, Baker sat out the next five games as a

potential red-shirt candidate, but burst back onto the scene against Northwestern. From there, Baker led the team in rushing in the second half of the season and averaged a team-high 53.4 yards per game. Baker concluded his freshman campaign by rushing for 97 yards in the Alamo Bowl against Texas Tech, including a 46-scoring run, which was the longest Spartan rushing touchdown in bowl history. While the heralded tandem performed well in their first year, Dantonio is looking for both of them to take the next step in their second seasons, something he took note of during spring practice. “Both Larry and Edwin had the opportunity to carry the ball a lot last year,” Dantonio said. “At points in time, they were very exciting, explosive and made plays in the game. But what you look for is consistency. When you continue throughout your career, there are different levels of learning you have to go through. They were at the level last season that if they concentrated and did exactly the right thing, they were successful. Now what they’re trying to do is get to that point where being successful is a habit because they know what to do so well that they can concentrate on the finer points, and that’s what’s happened with both those guys. They had outstanding springs.” In addition to Caper and Baker, two early enrollees that participated in spring ball could also see carries. At 6-2, 230 pounds, Le’Veon Bell is a powerful and physical runner, while the diminutive Nick Hill, standing 5-6 and 182 pounds, provides another quick and elusive threat in the backfield. Incoming freshman Jeremy Langford (6-0, 185) also will have a chance to compete for a spot in preseason camp. “Le’Veon and Nick came in as true freshman in the spring and they were exciting to watch as well,” remarked Dantonio. “When you look at our tailback position, it’s much different than last year, in terms of experience, and in terms of depth from top to bottom.” One of the most overlooked aspects of the Spartan offense – the fullback – is also one of the most important. Heading into camp, fifth-year senior Josh Rouse (6-3, 240) will be the starter after redshirting last season with an injured toe. Rouse, a converted linebacker, saw action in every game as a junior in 2008 and also will play on special teams. “We never seem to talk about the fullback, but it’s so important in our offense,” Dantonio said. “Because of the different personnel groupings, Josh might not be in there for every snap, but he’s a guy with great leadership ability. He’s a guy that can catch the ball out of the backfield and he’s physical.” Adam Setterbo (6-3, 232, Jr.), Fred Smith (6-2, 240, So.) and Drew Stevens (6-4, 230, So.) will provide depth at fullback. WIDE RECEIVERS

Despite the loss of leading receiver and first-team All-Big Ten selection Blair White, the Spartan wide receiving corps features a deep group of experienced playmakers as five letterwinners return. Versatile playmaker Keshawn Martin (5-11, 185, Jr.), who led the team and ranked third in the Big Ten last season with 1,451 all-purpose yards (111.6

2009 Recap

avg.), caught five touchdown passes in 2009, four of them for 48 yards or longer. He also ranked first on the Spartans in yards per catch (22.8 avg.), hauling in 18 catches for 411 yards. An explosive return man and also a viable rushing option, Martin was the only player in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision in 2009 to score touchdowns of 80 or more yards three different ways (93-yard kick return vs. Minnesota; 91-yard reception vs. Wisconsin; 84-yard run vs. Minnesota). “Keshawn is a guy that from day one has been put into specific situations to make big plays,” said Dantonio. “In terms of trick plays, he’s been outstanding, and he can also bust a play open. Now, he’s become a much more complete player in terms of catching the ball in traffic, and we saw that in the spring. It’s just a matter of him relaxing. Keshawn had never played receiver before coming here, and now that he’s in his third year, his development has just taken off.” Similar to Martin, Dantonio believes Keith Nichol’s (6-2, 222, Jr.) exceptional athletic ability will translate into success as a wide receiver. Moved to receiver during bowl practice out of personnel necessity, Nichol quickly picked up the position and started in the Alamo Bowl, catching two passes for 11 yards while also rushing for a touchdown from the Wildcat formation. Nichol lined up with the first team all spring practice and made several athletic catches that impressed the coaching staff. “Keith is just too good of an athlete to have on the sidelines,” Dantonio said. “You can put the ball in his hands in a variety of ways, and he’s going to make plays. Just having him out there physically to block gives you an advantage. He’s one of the quickest, strongest, most explosive players on this team plus he has great ball skills. He’s just learning the position, so on a learning curve, he’s far and above where a normal player would be.” Two more veterans with starting experience are Mark Dell (6-2, 199, Sr.) and B.J. Cunningham (6-2, 220, Jr.). Dell has 82 receptions for 1,348 yards and six TDs in 34 career games, including 19 starts. Cunningham was second on the team last year with 48 catches for 641 yards and four TDs while starting 10 games. “When you complement Keshawn and Keith with

Already a position of strength a year ago, the Spartans return all four letterwinners at tight end in 2010 to form one of the most talented units in the nation. MSU’s tight ends combined for 56 receptions, 780 receiving yards and eight touchdowns last season. Leading the way is Charlie Gantt (6-5, 260, Sr.-5), a Mackey Award candidate who has caught 41 passes for 650 yards and six touchdowns the past two seasons while starting 26 consecutive games at tight end. Gantt has proven to be a solid run-blocker who has also displayed the ability to go down field and make plays in the passing game. In his first year playing for Michigan State after transferring from Clemson, Brian Linthicum (6-5, 238, Jr.) made an immediate impact and proved to be a very athletic tight end, grabbing 20 receptions for 266 yards and two TDs. Linthicum started in seven of 12 games and led the Spartan tight ends with 14 pancake blocks. Dion Sims (6-5, 285, So.), a Freshman All-Big Ten selection, appeared in all 13 games as a true freshman in 2009 and led the unit with three touchdowns to go along with 11 catches and 133 yards. Garrett Celek (6-5, 245, Jr.) has gained valuable experience playing in 22 games the past two years and will also have a chance to make an impact this season. “We have depth at tight end much like the wide receivers,” said Dantonio. “Charlie Gantt has definitely established himself throughout his career and will look to have another big year. Brian Linthicum made big plays last season and gives you a different type of guy who has tremendous ball skills and hand-eye coordination. Celek is in his third year playing, and Dion Sims had a phenomenal freshman year and can catch everything in sight as well. Again,

TIGHT ENDS

2010 Spartans

OFFENSIVE LINE

Although the offensive line returns five players with starting experience, the unit will have a different look in 2010. One mainstay on the line, however, is left guard Joel Foreman (6-4, 310, Jr.), who is entering his third year as a starter. Foreman, a Freshman AllAmerican in 2008 and an honorable mention All-Big Ten selection last year, has played in 25 games the last two seasons with 23 starts. He did not allow a sack during the entire regular season in 2009. Ethan Ruhland (6-5, 288, So.), who made three appearances as a red-shirt freshman including time at left guard in the second half at Notre Dame, is slated as Foreman’s backup. Another starter returning from last year is D.J. Young (6-5, 298, Sr.-5). The transfer from Bowling Green was impressive in his first season playing for the Spartans, starting the last 11 games at right tackle, but made the switch over to left tackle during spring practice. John Deyo (6-6, 294, So.) is listed second on the depth chart behind Young. At center, John Stipek (6-5, 285, Sr.-5) started three games in 2009 while filling in for Joel Nitchman and appeared in seven games overall. A converted defensive lineman, Stipek made strides as the starting center in spring practice and was named to the All-Spring Team by the Sporting News. “D.J. is an extremely hard worker and played very well last year,” said Dantonio. “Joel has been solid and is going into his third year as a starter, and I thought Stipek was one of the most improved players coming out of spring practice.” Jared McGaha (6-6, 300, Jr.) and J’Michael Deane (6-5, 312, Sr.-5) each started one game at right guard last year, but didn’t see much action on the line following a change in the rotation entering the third week of the season. Entering camp this year, the two are in a battle for the starting right tackle position. Chris McDonald (6-5, 295, So.) is the leading candidate to start at right guard heading into camp. McDonald made four appearances in 2009, primarily on special teams, but took reps with the first team all spring practice. Zach Hueter (6-6, 315, So.) and Antonio Jeremiah (6-5, 360, Jr.) also will compete at right guard. The line also features several promising reserves that were redshirted last season, including left tackle David Barrent (6-8, 308, R-Fr.), center Nate Klatt (6-4, 292, R-Fr.) and right tackle Henry Conway (6-6, 304, R-Fr.).

“We are retooling the offensive line, but we have some very good athletes there and I think we’ll get that squared away,” Dantonio said. “They’re one of the hardest working groups out there. We’re big and athletic, and what that has to do is transition into great play, but we’ll get that from our guys. There’s a great sense of commitment and I think they’re getting good leadership from the upperclassmen.”

2010 outlook

two guys like B.J. Cunningham and Mark Dell, who are tremendous wide receivers as well, we basically have four starters,” Dantonio said. “Mark has been playing here since day one, and B.J. has started since he’s been a red-shirt freshman. Those two guys have caught a lot of balls for us and they are both game-breakers.” Chris D. Rucker (5-10, 175, Jr.), a two-year letterwinner, will add depth at receiver along with Bennie Fowler (6-1, 206, R-Fr.), Donald Spencer (6-2, 200, R-Fr.) and Brad Sonntag (5-8, 175, Jr.). Incoming freshmen Keith Mumphrey (6-1, 200) and Tony Lippett (6-3, 185) could also see time.

Charlie Gantt, who has started 26 consecutive games at tight end, enters the 2010 season with 41 career receptions for 650 yards and six touchdowns.

2010 Spartans

The defensive line returns six letterwinners, but is still a relatively young unit full of potential after gaining experience in 2009. Three of the four starters heading into preseason camp are only sophomores, including defensive tackle Jerel Worthy (6-3, 305, So.), who was named a Freshman All-American last season after ranking second on team with 9.0 tackles for loss (34 yards) and 4.5 sacks (23 yards). Worthy was second among Spartan defensive linemen with 37 tackles and produced one tackle for loss in seven straight games during one stretch. Backing up Worthy is Dan France (6-6, 296, R-Fr.), a redshirt last season who Dantonio cited as having a “tremendous spring.” Micajah Reynolds (6-5, 295, R-Fr.), a converted offensive lineman, provides depth on the defensive line. Alongside Worthy is nose tackle Blake Treadwell (6-3, 277, So.). After sitting out the first four games as a potential redshirt in 2009, Treadwell played in the last nine games of the season and recorded 11 tackles. Kevin Pickelman (6-4, 285, Jr.), who tallied a career-high 20 tackles last year, including five in the Alamo Bowl, also will see significant time at nose tackle. “We’re young, but our defensive tackle situation is going to be solid with Worthy and Treadwell,” said Dantonio. “Pickelman also gives us needed depth as well.” Colin Neely (6-1, 258, Sr.-5) is the lone senior on the line and will start at one end position. Neely has quietly put together solid numbers in playing every game the past two seasons, including a career-high 24 tackles and 7.0 tackles for loss (36 yards) as a junior. In addition to Neely, Johnathan Strayhorn (6-0, 275, Jr.) has played in 19 games the past two seasons and recorded 13 tackles last year. At the rush end, Dantonio is looking for sophomore Tyler Hoover (6-7, 260) to have a breakout season after showing promise in his first year of seeing action. Hoover appeared in every game last season, including a season-best performance in the Alamo

All-American and 2009 Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year Greg Jones led the conference and finished third in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision with a career-best 154 tackles. A model of consistency, Jones has led the team in tackles in 23 of the last 26 games.

Bowl with three tackles and a pass break-up against Texas Tech. “Tyler Hoover needs to come into his own this fall, he’s playing an important position,” Dantonio said. “We need him to play at a high level. After playing last year, I think his confidence is high. Colin Neely played well last year and should continue to be consistent for us.” Other candidates for playing time at defensive end include Todd Anderson (6-2, 242, Jr.), Denzel Drone (6-2, 250, R-Fr.) and Corey Freeman (6-2, 240, So.). LINEBACKERS

Led by consensus first-team All-American Greg Jones (6-1, 235, Sr.) and three-year starter Eric Gordon (6-0, 232, Sr.-5), the strength of the Spartan defense is undoubtedly its linebackers. During his first two seasons at Michigan State, Jones had already established himself as one of the top linebackers in the Big Ten. He garnered Freshman All-America accolades in 2007 and was a first-team all-conference selection in 2008. But in 2009, Jones elevated his game to a level that placed him among the nation’s elite. The Cincinnati, Ohio, native led the Big Ten and ranked third in the NCAA FBS with 154 tackles, which ranked seventh most in an MSU season. He also ranked fifth in the league with nine sacks (53 yards) and 10th with 14 tackles for loss (69 yards). Perhaps Jones’ most impressive trait was his consistency, as he compiled double-figures in tackles in nine games. Those remarkable numbers landed Jones on the consensus All-America first team and made him the first Spartan to be named the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year. He also was named first-team All-Big Ten for the second consecutive year, and CollegeFootballNews.com listed Jones as the No. 1 linebacker in the nation and the top overall player in the Big Ten. In addition, Jones was selected as the recipient of the Linebacker Trophy (National Linebacker of the Year) by the College Football Performance Awards. Named to the preseason watch lists for the Butkus Award, the Lombardi Award and the Nagurski Award, Jones has started 33 of 39 career games, including 27 consecutive starting assignments. He has 359 career tackles, including 36.5 for losses (140 yards) and 15.5 sacks (87 yards). Jones will enter the 2010 season ranked second among NCAA FBS active leaders in tackles per game (9.2 avg.) and total tackles (359). He already ranks among MSU’s alltime leaders in tackles for loss (fifth), sacks (tied for sixth) and total tackles (eighth). In addition, he has produced double-figure tackles 18 times in his career. “Our linebacking corps is obviously a position of depth for us,” remarked Dantonio. “When you have a guy like Greg Jones who decides to return, a returning captain and first-team All-American, not only is he a great player but he has the players’ respect as well. I think that speaks volumes about our program that he would come back. He would have been a high draft pick and to pass on those things shows that he values education, which is an example to all of our players. By staying, he has earned a lot of credibility with our players and our staff. He’s the nucleus of our football team defensively.

“That being said, we certainly have a lot of talent around him, featuring three more guys who have starting experience. Eric Gordon returns for his fourth year as a starter. Those two have been alongside each other every step of their careers.” Gordon also has started 27 straight games at linebacker and has been consistent every year, collecting 239 tackles, including 22.5 for losses (88 yards) and 7.5 sacks (55 yards), in 38 career games. He had a career-high 92 tackles as a junior, ranking 16th in the Big Ten, to go along with 7.5 tackles for loss (39 yards) and 3.5 sacks (32 yards). In addition to Gordon at sam (strong side) linebacker, Jon Misch (6-3, 207, Sr.-5) is a veteran who has compiled 50 tackles in 32 career games, including a career-high 28 stops last season. Sophomore Chris Norman (6-1, 220, So.) is the projected starter at the star (weak side) linebacker position. Norman played in every game last season as a true freshman, including a start at Notre Dame, and recorded 11 tackles. With one season under his belt, the coaching staff expects Norman to make significant progress this fall. Providing backup behind Norman will be Denicos Allen (5-10, 212), a promising red-shirt freshman who made the transition from safety to linebacker during spring practice. Allen capped his strong spring season by tallying seven tackles, including 2.5 for loss (16 yards) and two sacks (15 yards), in the Green-White game. “Both Chris and Denicos had outstanding springs,” said Dantonio. “Chris played a lot last year and started at Notre Dame, which was by design, because I felt like he needed that experience. He’s added weight this year and is still very athletic. Denicos has really improved and is very powerful.” The deep talent pool at linebacker extends past the starters, as several underclassmen will compete for playing time in the rotation. Steve Gardiner (6-1, 222, So.), TyQuan Hammock (6-0, 255, R-Fr.) and Jeremy Gainer (6-1, 225, R-Fr.) could all see the field in 2010, while two heralded freshmen in Max Bullough (6-3, 235) and William Gholston (6-7, 250) also will contribute. Both Bullough and Gholston were high school All-Americans who were ranked among the top five nationally at their respective position by various recruiting services. “The linebackers will be a fun position to watch,” said Dantonio. “We have quite a few guys with experience, and we also have some real talented young players. Max had an exciting spring and he’s going to be a great player for us, and we have to find a place to get William on the field somewhere. He’s a talented player that’s sure to make an impact.” DEFENSIVE BACKS

Michigan State lost five letterwinners in the secondary from last year’s team but figures to have a strong unit anchored by underclassmen this season. Veteran Chris L. Rucker (6-2, 200, Sr.), who has started in 23 games his first three seasons, will line up as the boundary corner. Rucker earned honorable mention All-Big Ten honors for the second straight year in 2009 after recording a career-high 58 tackles and leading the team with seven pass break-ups. “We feel very good about Chris L. Rucker,” Dantonio

Heading into his fourth season at Michigan State, Dantonio is starting to see the development of his program come together as he continues to build the Spartans into one of the top programs in the Big Ten Conference. “We have only lost one coach as our staff heads into our fourth year together here, which is very impressive and speaks to the type of program we are building,” said Dantonio. “What we’ve been able to do is critique things and move forward. There’s been consistency here. We have an outstanding staff that cares about their players as people, and I think that translates to success. We’re all very, very excited about the season. “My expectation is to have a very good football team. We have experience in all of the skill positions on offense, and defensively, when you can build around a player like Greg Jones, it’s obviously very exciting. We also have a lot of good young players that were redshirted last year, so we’re still a young team but we have experience now, and that experience will be a huge thing for us. All of our recruiting classes are really coming together. We have the skill players, leadership and chemistry to compete for the Big Ten Championship in 2010.”

Ray Guy Award candidate Aaron Bates ranked fifth in the Big Ten in punting with his 41.6-yard average in 2009 and placed 37 percent of his punts inside the opponent’s 20-yard line.

said. “He’s fluid, fast and a very athletic player. He’s going to have a great fall for us. He’s come up with some picks for us in the past and definitely has that ability.” At field corner, Johnny Adams (5-11, 170, R-So.) returns for his second year of action. Adams made an immediate impact his freshman season in 2008, appearing in 12 games with starts against Iowa and Purdue. He tied for second on the team with two interceptions, including a 40-yard return for a touchdown against Purdue, while tallying 21 tackles and four pass break-ups. Adams played in the first two games of 2009 but then missed the majority of the season with a shoulder injury. “Johnny Adams had a phenomenal freshman year, so we’re excited to have him back,” Dantonio said. “He’s going to be a very good player.” Mitchell White (6-1, 170, So.), who played in the final four games of last season, and Dana Dixon (6-2, 173, R-Fr.) also will see action at corner. Two players with starting experience also return at safety. Fifth-year senior Marcus Hyde (6-0, 200) has eight starts and 36 career games under his belt, and with his playing time increased as a junior, he responded by delivering a career-high 46 tackles. Hyde enters camp as the starting strong safety, with Jairus Jones (6-1, 208, R-Fr.) serving as the backup. Trenton Robinson (5-10, 195, Jr.), who ranked fourth on the team a year ago with 67 tackles, has solidified himself as the starting free safety. After battling a midseason injury, Robinson turned up his game down the stretch last season, averaging 11.3 stops in the last three games, including a career-high 14 in the win at Purdue and 13 in the Alamo Bowl against Texas Tech. “Marcus and Trenton are really going to be secondyear starters for us,” Dantonio said. “Marcus has played a lot the last two years and had a really good spring, and Trenton has been a very key player for us. I keep telling Trenton he’s playing safety at a higher power right now. He’s become much more disciplined. He’s a very reactive, quick and explosive.” Pat White (5-11, 193, R-Fr.) and Jesse Johnson (5-10, 186, Sr.-5) will provide depth behind Robinson at free safety.

Chris L. Rucker, who heads into his third season as the starting boundary corner, recorded career highs in tackles (58) and pass break-ups (7) in 2009.

Since Dantonio’s arrival at Michigan State, the Spartans have featured some of the best special teams units in the Big Ten. Current Washington Redskins wide receiver Devin Thomas set a Big Ten record for kickoff return yards in 2007, and placekicker Brett Swenson was a 2009 first-team All-Big Ten selection and team MVP who finished his career tied for third in Big Ten history with 71 field goals. The kicking unit will take on a different look this year, however, as Swenson, the program’s all-time leader in field goals, points scored (377) and extra points (164), is gone to the NFL. Dan Conroy (5-10, 185, So.) and Kevin Muma (6-0, 186, R-Fr.) will battle all preseason camp, just as they did in spring practice, to see who will emerge as Swenson’s successor at field goals and kickoffs. Conroy saw action in four games last season, averaging 62.1 yards on nine kickoffs. He also connected on a 43-yard field goal in the season opener against Montana State. Muma hit from as far as 42 yards out in spring scrimmages and made a 19-yarder in the spring game. “Those guys will be under some pressure,” Dantonio said of the kickers. “We have to secure the kickoff position, and I think Kevin did a nice job of that in the spring. Dan Conroy had a good spring along with Kevin in the field-goal kicking area. They’re definitely locked up in a tie heading into camp. We have to see who kicks best when it’s all on the line – that’s something you don’t really want to find out, but that’s the necessity of that position. You have to be able to do it in games. There’s an experience factor there, but we’ll allow them to develop and be patient.” Although MSU will feature a new kicker in 2010, the return teams and punting unit should rank among the best in the conference and the nation.

Fourth-year starter and Ray Guy candidate Aaron Bates (6-0, 198, Sr.) has proven to be one of the top punters in program history. He enters his final season at MSU ranked sixth in school history in punting yards (8,342 yards) and seventh in punts (203) and punting average (41.1). His unique style of punting has allowed him to place 33 percent of his career punts inside the opponent’s 20. “I believe Aaron Bates will punt in the NFL – he’s been excellent for us,” Dantonio said. “He’s also a great holder and performs under pressure. He’s a guy who displays an extreme amount of concentration and attention to detail. He’s an absolute gamer. Without question, the punt is the most important play in football in terms of yards and possession, and with Bates, we have a guy who can deliver.” At long snapper, Alex Shackleton (6-2, 240, Sr.-5) returns for his fourth season, adding experience and stability to the unit. Wideout Keshawn Martin (5-11, 185, Jr.) will lead the kick return team, which ranked eighth nationally in 2009, averaging 25.9 yards per return. Martin was the 11th-ranked return man in the nation (28.9yard avg.) and led the Big Ten in conference games with a 33.6-yard average. He ran back the opening kick of the second half at Minnesota 93 yards for a touchdown, MSU’s first kick return for a TD since 2005, and accumulated 176 kick return yards in the game, the third-highest single-game figure in MSU history. Overall, Martin’s 665 kick return yards ranked as the seventh-highest total in an MSU season. As a punt returner, Martin ranked fifth in the Big Ten with his 7.4-yard average (156 yards). “Keshawn’s an excellent return man and anytime he gets his hands on the ball, something is going to happen,” said Dantonio. “He’s very calm under pressure and plays within himself. He’s one of our most explosive players who does so many things for us.”

2010 outlook

“I think our secondary has a chance to be really good,” remarked Dantonio. “I like the experience we have coming back in our first group, and we have some very young players who can make plays.”

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).

Spartan Records

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.).

Ringer became MSU’s first consensus All-American since 2004, earning first-team accolades from Walter Camp and the Associated Press.

2009 Recap

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.

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 sophomore linebacker Greg Jones. The three first-team all-conference selections were the most for the Spartans since five players received first-team honors in 1999. A total of 15 Spartans received All-Big Ten recognition on the first team, second team or honorable mention.

Coaching staff

Riding the momentum generated by his first three seasons, Dantonio and his coaching staff have put together back-to-back recruiting classes in 2009-10 that analysts rank among the nation’s Top 25.

One of 15 semifinalists for the George Munger Coach of the Year Award, Dantonio had his most successful 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. It’s also just the third time since 1966 and 10th overall that Michigan State has won at least nine games in a season. Michigan State defeated five bowl-bound teams, with victories over Florida Atlantic, Notre Dame, Iowa, Northwestern and Wisconsin.

Cincinnati led C-USA and ranked No. 26 in the NCAA in pass defense, allowing 194.2 yards per game. The Bearcats also ranked second in C-USA in total defense (341.3 ypg.) and third in both scoring defense (26.7 ppg.) and pass efficiency defense (121.5). Offensively, quarterback Gino Guidugli ranked 15th in the country in passing efficiency (146.5) and directed the Bearcats to the 30th-ranked offense in the nation (405.6 ypg).

other offensive categories, including total yards (No. 3: 5,418), first downs (No. 4: 266), passing yards (No. 5: 2,842), total yards per game (No. 6: 416.8) and scoring average (No. 6: 33.1 ppg.). 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. After finishing near the bottom of the conference in tackles for loss (ninth) and sacks (10th) in 2006, Michigan State vaulted to third in the Big Ten in tackles for loss (7.69 per game) and fourth in sacks (3.08). 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). 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 three seasons, 30 Spartans have earned Academic All-Big Ten honors, including 2009 Academic All-American Blair White. In addition, 45 Michigan State football student-athletes have earned their undergraduate degrees, including 75 percent of his players who have completed their eligibility. The 54-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. His Bearcats upset then-No. 7 Rutgers, 30-11, on Nov. 18, handing the Scarlet Knights their first loss of the season and marking the highest-ranked opponent ever defeated by UC. Highly respected as one of the top defensive coaches in the country, Dantonio’s Bearcats finished the 2006 regular season ranked among the NCAA leaders in six statistical categories: No. 21 in tackles for loss (6.8 per game), No. 23 in pass efficiency defense (109.3 rating), No. 27 in rushing defense (107.5 ypg.), No. 31 in total defense (304.3 ypg.), No. 34 in scoring defense (19.3 ppg.) and No. 34 in sacks (2.4 per game). UC held seven of its 12 regular-season opponents to less than 100 yards rushing, highlighted by performances of 36 yards each in back-to-back games against Miami-Ohio and Akron. In the win over Rutgers, Cincinnati held the nation’s No. 15 rushing offense to a season-low 50 yards on the ground, and limited the NCAA’s No. 3 rusher, Ray Rice, to a seasonlow 54 yards. Defensive end Trevor Anderson ranked among the BIG EAST leaders in tackles for loss (No. 5 at 1.13 per game) and sacks (No. 6 at 0.5 per game).

Prior to his appointment at Cincinnati, Dantonio served as the defensive coordinator at Ohio State for three seasons, where his defensive unit helped the Buckeyes to a combined record of 32-6. In 2003, Ohio State’s defense was the second toughest against the run, allowing 62.3 yards per game, and was ranked No. 10 in total defense (296.9 ypg.) and No. 16 in scoring defense (17.6 ppg.). Those efforts helped the Buckeyes post an 11-2 record and finish No. 4 in the final polls. 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.). Six Buckeye defenders were named first-team All-Big Ten during his tenure and 13 were drafted by the pros, including a pair of first-round selections in 2004 (defensive end Will Smith and cornerback Chris Gamble). Dantonio is quite familiar with East Lansing, as he spent six years (1995-2000) as Michigan State’s secondary coach, including five seasons under 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. Under his supervision, the Spartan secondary ranked among the NCAA leaders in pass efficiency defense three of his last four years, finishing No. 10 (101.6) in 1998, No. 16 (103.9) in 1997 and No. 22 (104.5) in 2000. In his last season as secondary coach, the Spartans only allowed 164.1 yards a game through the air, ranking seventh in the country in 2000. Dantonio contributed to Michigan State’s successful 1999 season, during which the Spartans went 10-2, won the Florida Citrus Bowl, led the Big Ten in total defense and ranked No. 7 in the final polls. He tutored cornerback Amp Campbell, who earned third-team All-America honors from the Associated Press. Dantonio came to Michigan State following four seasons under Glen Mason at Kansas (1991-94) where he coached the defensive secondary. In 1992, the Jayhawks produced an 8-4 record and defeated BYU, 23-20, in the Aloha Bowl. Dantonio previously spent five years at Youngstown State under Tressel, helping the Penguins to three trips to the NCAA I-AA playoffs.

The Spartans also put pressure on the quarterback, ranking third in the conference and 17th (tied) in the country with 35 sacks.

Spartan Records

In his first season as offensive coordinator at Michigan State in 2007, Treadwell guided one of the most balanced offensive attacks in the Big Ten, as the Spartans were one of two conference teams and one of nine teams in the NCAA to average at least 200 yards or more in both rushing offense and passing offense during the regular season. The Spartans were among the Big Ten leaders in scoring offense (No. 2 at 33.1 points a game), rushing offense (No. 3 at 198.2 ypg.), total offense (No. 4 at 416.8 ypg.) and passing offense (No. 6 at 218.6 ypg.). It was one of the most productive offensive seasons in school history as the Spartans ranked first in points scored (430), third in total offense (5,418 yards), fifth in passing yards (2,842 yards), and sixth in scoring average (33.1) and total yards per game (416.8) in the school record books. In addition, MSU became the first Football Bowl Subdivision team in 2007 to feature a 2,000-yard passer (Brian Hoyer), a 1,000-yard rusher (Javon Ringer) and a 1,000-yard receiver (Devin Thomas), as the feat was accomplished in Game 11 against Purdue.

In addition to Jones, defensive tackle Jerel Worthy was named a Freshman All-American in 2009 after ranking second on the team in tackles for loss (9 for 34 yards) and sacks (4.5 for 23 yards). He is the second player to earn Freshman All-America honors under Narduzzi at MSU (Jones). Overall, four Spartans on defense were recognized with All-Big Ten honors in 2009, including honorable mention selections Trevor Anderson, Chris L. Rucker and Jeremy Ware. Ware was also selected in the seventh round of the 2010 NFL Draft by Oakland.

2010 outlook

coaching staff 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 fourth 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. Two Spartan cornerbacks earned honorable mention All-Big Ten honors in 2009, including senior Jeremy Ware, who recorded a career-high 52 tackles and five pass break-ups while starting every game. He went on to be selected in the seventh round of the 2010 NFL Draft by Oakland. Chris L. HARLON BARNETT Rucker was named honorable mention All-Big Ten for the SECONDARY COACH second straight year as he led the team with seven pass FOURTH SEASON break-ups and compiled a career-high 58 tackles. In a secondary of veterans, sophomore safety Trenton Robinson also stood out with his 67 tackles, good for fourth on the team. Barnett had to deal with multiple injuries to his unit for the second straight year in 2009, as he used six different starting lineup combinations throughout the season. Barnett’s secondary unit displayed depth and tenacity during the 2008 season. A rash of injuries forced Barnett to utilize nine different starting lineups, as four players made their first career starts. Week after week, a new player stepped up and produced when given an opportunity. Leading the way was first-team All-Big Ten selection and Jim Thorpe Award finalist Otis Wiley, who ranked among the league leaders in interceptions (4) and passes defended (11). The defensive backfield combined to account for 14 interceptions and 50 pass break-ups, with both totals increasing from the previous season. In his first season at MSU, Barnett led a secondary that ranked fourth in the Big Ten in pass defense. Under his direction, former walk-on turned team captain Travis Key earned honorable mention All-Big Ten honors in his first year as a starter, as Key ranked third on the team in tackles (69) and second in pass break-ups (6) and interceptions (2) in 2007. He also tutored boundary corner Kendell Davis-Clark, who led the team in pass break-ups with eight and ranked second on the team in tackles with 72, and Wiley, who led the team with four interceptions. Seven different players combined for 12 interceptions, the most for a Spartan team since 2003. The 43-year-old Barnett spent three seasons as secondary coach on Mark Dantonio’s staff at Cincinnati. He 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. He began his coaching career at Princeton High School in Cincinnati, where he spent two seasons as the secondary coach (1998-99) and three years as the defensive coordinator (2000-02). 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. He finished his career with 154 tackles, six interceptions and 13 pass break-ups. 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 also spent two seasons at New England (1993-94) and two more with Minnesota (1995-96). For Barnett’s complete bio, please visit msuspartans.com.

In his three years as the defensive line coach at Michigan State, Ted Gill has continued his career-long trend of developing productive and impactful players. The 2009 Spartan defensive line featured two new starters and a steady mix of underclassmen in the rotation, but the unit still managed to help the defense rank third in the Big Ten and 17th nationally in sacks. The line was also instrumental in stopping the run, as the Spartans finished fourth in the Big Ten and 24th nationally by allowing just 113.2 rushing yards a game. MSU limited their opponents to fewer than 100 rushing yards in six games. Veteran end Trevor Anderson led the line with 45 tackles TED GILL (7.5 for loss) and earned honorable mention All-Big Ten honors. DEFENSIVE LINE Anderson, who also played under Gill at Cincinnati, amassed FOURTH SEASON 39.5 tackles for loss and 22 sacks in his career. Defensive tackle Jerel Worthy was named a Freshman All-American after ranking second on the team in tackles for loss (9 for 34 yards) and sacks (4.5 for 23 yards). Opposite of Anderson, junior end Colin Neely steadily improved in his first year as a starter, posting career highs in tackles (24), tackles for loss (7.0) and sacks (3.0). In 2008, three Spartans on the defensive line earned honorable mention All-Big Ten, including seniors Justin Kershaw and Brandon Long, who both recorded career highs in tackles for loss and sacks. Anderson, in his first year as a Spartan after transferring from Cincinnati, collected a career high and team-leading eight sacks, which ranked sixth in the Big Ten. Anderson was one of 35 players in the nation named to the midseason watch list for the Ted Hendricks Defensive End of the Year Award. Michigan State’s defensive line saw a dramatic improvement in Gill’s first season. Defensive ends Jonal Saint-Dic and Ervin Baldwin enjoyed breakout seasons, while Kershaw and Ogemdi Nwagbuo also had their most productive years wearing the Green and White. Saint-Dic, a first-team All-Big Ten selection, set a Big Ten record and led the nation with eight forced fumbles. The senior ranked fourth in the conference and 16th in the NCAA in sacks with 10, marking the sixth-best total on MSU’s single-season chart. For his efforts, Saint-Dic was named a second-team Walter Camp All-American and was one of eight finalists for the Ted Hendricks Defensive End of the Year Award. Baldwin, a seventh-round draft choice by the Chicago Bears, led the team and ranked third in the Big Ten with 18.5 tackles for loss, which was the second-highest total in school history. Kershaw and Nwagbuo each recorded career highs with 30 and 28 tackles, respectively. Gill arrived in East Lansing with 32 years of coaching experience, including four seasons as the defensive line coach at Cincinnati (2003-06). His resume features stops at almost every level of football. He coached in the professional ranks with the NFL’s Carolina Panthers (1996-98), XFL’s Los Angeles Extreme (2001) and CFL’s Montreal Alouettes (2002). Prior to spending the 1995 season as defensive coordinator at Oklahoma State, Gill worked for five years as an assistant coach under Hayden Fry at Iowa (1990-94) where he coached the defensive line and linebackers, helping the Hawkeyes earn three bowl appearances (1991 Rose, 1991 Holiday and 1993 Alamo).

Honors & awards

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, tight ends coach and special teams coordinator at Central Florida; and his twin brother Brent, offensive coordinator at O’Gorman High School.

Spartan history

Roushar launched his coaching career at Northern Illinois as a student assistant in 1984 under Hall of Fame coach Bill Mallory. Roushar then spent seven seasons at Butler, the first three (1986-88) as offensive backfield coach and the final four (1989-92) as offensive coordinator and offensive line coach. The 49-year-old Roushar also has made coaching stops at Rhode Island (1993) and Ball State (1994). During his first two-year stint at Illinois, he worked with the Illini quarterbacks in 1995 before taking over the offensive tackles and tight ends in 1996.

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 touchdowns against the Griffons. Augustana ranked among the NSIC leaders in rushing offense (third at 203.7 ypg.), scoring offense (third at 30.8 points per game) and total offense (fourth at 379.7 ypg.) in 2008.

Spartan Records

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. Roushar helped develop three first-team All-MAC selections, in offensive tackle Ryan Diem (19992000), center McAllister Collins (2000) and offensive tackle Tim Vincent (2002). Diem, a fourthround pick by the Indianapolis Colts in the 2001 NFL Draft, started 15 games at right tackle in 2006 for the Super Bowl Champions. While on the NIU coaching staff, Roushar also recruited offensive tackle Doug Free, who was taken by the Dallas Cowboys in the fourth round of the 2007 NFL Draft.

2009 Recap

Michigan State was one of the top rushing teams in the nation during the 2007 regular season, thanks in large part to the offensive line. Roushar had to juggle his lineup several times, using eight different starting combinations, but he led his unit to be one of the most productive in the Big Ten as the Spartans ranked fourth in the conference and No. 25 in the NCAA in rushing, averaging 198.2 yards a game. He tutored left tackle Pete Clifford, who went on to earn second-team All-Big Ten honors.

BRAD SALEM RUNNING BACKS FIRST SEASON

Mark Staten, who adds a mix of professional playing experience with a solid coaching background, is in his fourth season as tight ends/tackles coach and recruiting coordinator at Michigan State.

MARK STATEN TIGHT ENDS/TACKLES RECRUITING COORDINATOR FOURTH SEASON

Staten oversees one of the deepest and most talented tight end units in the nation, as four players combined for 56 receptions, 780 receiving yards and eight touchdown catches in 2009. The group was led by Charlie Gantt, who earned honorable mention All-Big Ten honors for the second straight year following his 22-catch, 348-yard performance as a junior. In his first year as a Spartan, Brian Linthicum displayed his versatility with 20 catches for 266 yards, while true freshman Dion Sims led all Spartan tight ends with three touchdown receptions en route to being named to the Big Ten All-Freshman Team.

In addition to his work with the tight ends, Staten’s mentoring of the offensive tackles paid dividends once again in 2009, as the unit allowed the fewest amount of sacks in the Big Ten (14). 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). In 2008, Staten’s offensive tackles helped pave the way for Javon Ringer, the nation’s fourthleading rusher and consensus first-team All-American. Under Staten’s tutelage, right tackle Jesse Miller earned his first career Big Ten honors, garnering second-team accolades from the league’s media. Staten played an instrumental role in helping the Spartan offensive line become one of the best units in the Big Ten in 2007. He tutored left tackle Pete Clifford, who went on to earn second-team All-Big Ten honors. With the tight end position playing more of a prominent role in MSU’s new offensive system, Staten also helped Kellen Davis have his most productive year as a Spartan. 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. 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 touchdowns (14) by a tight end. Celek, a second-team All-BIG EAST selection as a senior, was chosen by the Philadelphia Eagles in the fifth round of the 2007 NFL Draft. Prior to joining Cincinnati’s coaching staff, Staten spent two seasons at Ohio State (2002-03), where he contributed to the Buckeyes’ 2002 National Championship. As the offensive graduate assistant, he worked with the offensive linemen, tight ends and long snappers. A four-year starter at defensive tackle at Miami-Ohio, Staten earned All-Mid-American Conference honors as a senior. He made the Cincinnati Bengals’ practice squad as a free agent in 1993 before being added to the New England Patriots’ roster for the conclusion of the 1993 season as well as part of the 1994 campaign. Staten was drafted by the World Football League’s Barcelona Dragons in 1995, but sustained a career-ending knee injury. Staten started his coaching career in 1999 as an assistant coach at Crespi Carmelite High School in Encino, Calif. He returned to Miami-Ohio in 2000 as a student assistant coach and was promoted to graduate assistant in 2001.

Mike Tressel enters his fourth season as linebackers and special teams coach at Michigan State. In his role as linebackers coach over the last three seasons, Mike Tressel has mentored two of the top linebackers in the Big Ten, in Greg Jones and Eric Gordon. Jones and Gordon, who have each started 27 consecutive games at linebacker, have combined for 598 tackles, 59 tackles for loss and 23 sacks in their careers. A consensus All-American, Jones became the first Spartan to win Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year accolades after MIKE TRESSEL collecting 154 tackles in 2009, the most in the conference and LINEBACKERS/SPECIAL TEAMS third nationally. He also led the team and ranked among the FOURTH SEASON 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. Preceding his All-America campaign, Jones earned firstteam All-Big Ten honors in 2008, the first Spartan linebacker to do so since 2001. He led the team in tackles for the second-straight season with 127 and his 89 tackles in conference play ranked first in the Big Ten. Jones earned consensus Freshman All-America honors in 2007 after leading the team and all Big Ten freshmen with 78 tackles, becoming the first true freshman to lead Michigan State in tackles since 1976. Gordon, who garnered Big Ten All-Freshman honors in 2007, improved his productivity as a sophomore to rank second on the team and 13th in the Big Ten with 85 tackles. As a junior in 2009, Gordon set a career high in tackles with 92, finishing 11th in the conference. Tressel also oversees a successful special teams unit that has been one of the best in the Big Ten since his arrival. Brett Swenson, a 2009 first-team All-Big Ten selection, became MSU’s all-time leader in field goals (71), points scored (377) and extra points (164) last season. Swenson was named a Lou Groza Award semifinalist and finished his career tied for third in Big Ten history with his 71 field goals. Swenson tied a school record in 2008 with 22 field goals en route to being named second-team All-Big Ten. Anchored by Keshawn Martin, MSU ranked eighth in the nation in kick returns in 2009, averaging 25.9 yards per return. Martin was the 11th-ranked return man in the nation (28.9-yard avg.). Punter Aaron Bates was a second-team all-conference pick in 2008, as he ranked fourth in the Big Ten and 30th in the nation with his 42.0-yard punting average. In 2007, Devin Thomas established a Big Ten single-season record with 1,135 kick return yards. The 36-year-old Tressel played a key role in Cincinnati’s success over his three seasons at UC, as the Bearcats earned two bowl invitations. Prior to joining Dantonio’s staff at Cincinnati, Tressel spent two seasons as a graduate assistant coach at Ohio State (2002-03), where he contributed to the Buckeyes’ National Championship team in 2002. Tressel previously coached at Wartburg (Iowa) College for four seasons (1998-01), helping the school to a combined record of 36-4 including one conference title. Tressel comes from a bloodline of successful coaches, as his uncle Jim Tressel won four NCAA I-AA championships at Youngstown State before leading Ohio State to the 2002 National Championship. His grandfather, Lee Tressel, ranked as one of the winningest coaches in Division III history and won a National Championship at Baldwin-Wallace College. His father Richard, who spent 23 seasons as head coach at Hamline, is in his 10th season at Ohio State, his seventh year as running backs 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 AllAmerican since 1915, halfback John Pingel and fullback Jack Breslin.

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. 1954 | 3-6, 1-5 (t-8th)

2009 Recap

The most successful Spartan coach of all-time in terms of winning percentage (.857) is former Minnesota AllAmerican 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.

1973-75 MSU Record: 19-13-1 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. Head Coach: Denny Stolz L W L L L L W W L W W

Darryl Rogers

1976-79 MSU Record: 24-18-2 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

1983-94 MSU Record: 68-67-4

1980-82 MSU Record: 10-23-0 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 firstrounders. 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.) 1983 | 4-6-1, 2-6-1 (7th)

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.

2002 MSU Record: 1-2

Michigan State veteran offensive coordinator Morris Watts served as interim head coach for the final three games of the 2002 season. Watts made his headcoaching 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

2003-06 MSU Record: 22-26

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 have participated in postseason play.

Renaldo Hill’s interception in the end zone on a fourth-and-10 play iced Michigan State’s 28-24 upset victory over top-ranked and previously undefeated Ohio State in Columbus on Nov. 7, 1998. It marked the Spartans’ first win over a top-ranked team since beating Michigan in 1990.

Land-Grant Trophy

Since 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 13-4.

Paul Bunyan Trophy

Since 1950, the winner of the Michigan StateIndiana 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 40-12-1.

TOTALS

During “Biggie” Munn’s seven-year tenure from 1947-53, 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 his final season as head coach.

Darryl Rogers earned Big Ten Coach of the Year honors in 1978 after the Spartans closed out the regular season on a seven-game winning streak to claim the school’s fourth conference title.

George Perles led the Spartans to the Big Ten championship in 1987 and a 20-17 victory over Southern Cal in the 1988 Rose Bowl. In 1990, Michigan State won its last five league games to earn a share of another Big Ten title.

In 19 seasons as Michigan State’s head coach (1954-72), Hugh Duffy Daugherty compiled a 109-69-5 record and led the Spartans to four National Championships (1955, 1957, 1965 and 1966).

His final year as a Spartan saw him record 63 tackles while coming up with a team-high eight touchdown saving hits, including three vs. Notre Dame (the last one of which was a fumble-jarring hit on Notre Dame’s Terry Hanratty on MSU’s 2-yard line on fourth-and-goal), which preserved a 21-17 upset win. A fine two-way player, Brenner hauled in 25 pass receptions, while playing a total of 449 minutes out of 600. Named team MVP in ’68, he finished his career No. 2 on

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.

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-

Harlon Barnett captured first-team AllAmerica 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.

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.

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.

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 firstteam 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.

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.

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.

The 6-foot-1, 228-pound 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). He became the first Spartan to record back-to-back 100-tackle seasons since 2003-04 when both linebacker Ronald Stanley and free safety Jason Harmon reached the milestone. The Cincinnati, Ohio, native reached double-figure tackles nine times in 2009: Montana State (14), Central Michigan (career-high 15), Wisconsin (14), Illinois (11), Northwestern (14), Iowa (12), Minnesota (12), Penn State (career-high 15) and Texas Tech (13). He produced a career-best two sacks (9 yards) in MSU’s 24-14 Homecoming victory over Northwestern. Jones has posted double-digit tackles in 16 of his last 20 games overall, averaging 12.0 stops (240 total) during that stretch. A model of consistency, he has led the team in tackles in 23 of the last 26 games. Jones has started 33 of 39 career games, including 27 consecutive starting assignments. He has 359 career tackles, including 36.5 for losses (140 yards) and 15.5 sacks (87 yards). Jones ranks second among NCAA FBS active leaders in both total tackles (359) and tackles per game (9.2).

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. bob kula #63 ot | 6-4 | 282 West Bloomfield, MIch. 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. frank kush #60 g | 5-9 | 180 Windber, PA. 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.

All-americans 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.”

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.

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.

George Saimes was tabbed as an AllAmerican 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.

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.

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.

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. gene washington #84 wr | 6-3 | 218 LaPorte, Texas Gene Washington was an All-America pick as a junior in 1965 by the Football News, Football Digest and Central Press. As a senior, he garnered All-America status as picked by The Sporting News, UPI, and American Football Coaches Association. In ’65, he established school seasonal marks in receptions (40) and receiving yards (638) in aiding the Green and White to a 10-1 record and a No. 1 national ranking by UPI. In ’66, he paced the Spartans in receiving for the third-straight year with 27 catches for 677 yards, bettering the school seasonal standard he set the previous campaign. He was on the receiving end of seven TD tosses, and his 25.0 yards per catch average from that year still stands as the school’s seasonal record. He closed out his career No. 1 on the school’s all-time list for receptions (102), receiving yards (1,857) and TD receptions (16). A first-round draft pick of the Minnesota Vikings in 1967, he was a two-time All-Pro selection. In 1996, he was selected to MSU’s Centennial Super Squad.

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 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. jerry west #77 ot | 5-11 | 218 Durand, MIch. 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.

All-americans 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 singleseason 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 #88 e | 6-5 | 255 Dansville, MIch. 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 firstteam 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. Tom Yewcic #41 qb | 5-11 | 180 Conemaugh, PA. 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.

Retired Jersey Numbers/ Ring of Fame Only four jersey numbers have been retired in the 113-year history of Michigan State football: No. 78 worn by AllAmerica 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.

Don Coleman #78

John Hannah #46

George Webster #90

Charles “Bubba” Smith #95

Brad Van Pelt #10

John Pingel #37

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 will have their names added to Spartan Stadium’s “Ring of Fame” prior to MSU’s Sept. 18 home game against Notre Dame. Van Pelt and Pingel join Spartan legends Coleman, Webster, Hannah and Smith on the “Ring of Fame.”

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 touchdown 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.

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.

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. scoring summary First Quarter UCLA – Bob Davenport 2 run (Jim Decker kick), 11:48 left. Drive: 4 plays, 16 yards.

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 controlling the clock for 34:05. The Cadets sacked Yarema six times and picked off three of his passes, including two by Doug Pavek.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Three plays later, Kellen Davis scored on an 18-yard strike from Brian Hoyer as the Spartans jumped out to a 7-0 lead.

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.

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. scoring summary First Quarter UGA – Blair Walsh 32-yard field goal, 9:26 left.

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.

Athletics Director Mark Hollis

204

“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 was named athletics directordesignate on Sept. 12, 2007, and teamed with Mason in the transition throughout the fall of 2007. 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. Hollis, a 1985 MSU graduate, returned to his alma mater in 1995. Since then, he has been a critical component of the athletic department executive management staff, helping guide the department through short- and long-range plans. On the playing field, Michigan State proved again in 2009-10 to be one of the most consistent athletic departments in the country, finishing 39th in the Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup standings, marking the 11th time in the past 12 years the department has placed in the top 40. Highlights included the men’s basketball team advancing to the Final Four for the sixth time in the last 12 years and winning its second straight Big Ten regular-season title, field hockey capturing both the Big Ten regular-season and tournament championships, and the football team appearing in its third-straight bowl game. Overall, 11 sports participated in their respective team NCAA Championships, while individuals competed in four more NCAA Championships. One of Hollis’ major goals upon becoming athletics director was accomplished this past spring 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. Throughout the project, equal attention was devoted to maintaining an appreciation for the traditions of the past, while positioning the athletics program for the future. 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. During Hollis’ tenure, Michigan State student-athletes have excelled not only in competition, but in the classroom as well. In 2009-10, Spartan student-athletes posted 3.0 or higher semester GPAs in record numbers, as a school-record 365 student-athletes achieved that mark in the spring semester, breaking the previous record of 356 which was set just the previous semester in the fall. Additionally, 224 student-athletes earned Academic All-Big Ten honors throughout the academic year. In 2008-09, the department posted the highest cumulative GPA in program history at 3.0052 for the second consecutive year; it also marked the first time the department has ever had back-to-back years with a cumulative GPA of over a 3.0, as the 3.0038 GPA in 2007-08 set the previous record. The department also set another record in 2008-09 as 13 teams achieved a 3.0 or higher term GPA during the spring semester. 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 the men’s basketball team, which reached the national title game against North Carolina while also winning the Big Ten regular-season championship. In addition, the

football team won nine games for the first time since 1999 and played on New Year’s Day in the 2009 Capital One Bowl, the men’s soccer team won the Big Ten regular-season and tournament championships, and the crew team won its second-straight Big Ten title. Individually, wrestler Franklin Gomez claimed the 133pound national title. During the spring semester of Hollis’ first year as athletics director in 2008, six winter and spring sports garnered team berths to the NCAA Championships, while individuals saw action in four more NCAA Championships. The men’s golf and women’s rowing teams claimed Big Ten Championships and the men’s basketball program reached the Sweet 16 for the seventh time in 11 years. This success propelled Michigan State to 29th in the Directors’ Cup standings. 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 three consecutive bowl appearances for the program, including a bid to the 2009 Capital One Bowl. 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. Hollis’ first hire as athletics director arrived on July 2, 2008, when he tabbed Jake Boss Jr. to direct the Spartan baseball program. Spartan athletic facilities have been upgraded at an unprecedented rate the past decade, and will only continue to improve under Hollis. In August 2008, the Spartans moved into one of the nation’s finest football facilities, 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 2,500seat facility that enables MSU to host conference and national tournaments. In spring 2009, the baseball program played its inaugural season in McLane Baseball Stadium following a $4 million donation to the 2,500-seat ballpark by Houston Astros owner Drayton McLane Jr., and a new softball stadium is scheduled to be completed in December 2010. As a senior associate athletics director, Hollis oversaw all external relations for the MSU athletics department. Included in this group are marketing and promotions, community relations, specialevent fund-raising, sports information, ticket operations, spirit groups, broadcast services and corporate sponsorships. He also had sports management supervision of the men’s basketball program, while also supervising the cheerleading, dance team and band programs. Hollis has been recognized by his peers as one of the best in the business. In 2002, he was named recipient of the National Marketer of the Year Award as selected by the National Association of Collegiate Marketing Administrators (NACMA). Under his direction, Michigan State has enjoyed increases in ticket revenues, including nine years of sold-out football seasons and nearly 200 consecutive sellouts in men’s basketball. He was successful in negotiating a $2 million donation to the university for the construction of the Berkowitz Basketball Complex, providing both the men’s and women’s basketball programs with one the nation’s top office complexes. One of Hollis’ greatest strengths is his ability to “dream big” in an effort to create greater exposure, not just for the Michigan State Athletics Department but for Michigan State University as a whole. He conceptualized “The BasketBowl,” establishing a thenworld record attendance of 78,129 for a basketball game between

Michigan State and Kentucky at Detroit’s Ford Field. The concept of placing the court in the middle of the field in a domed stadium was used by the NCAA at the 2009 Final Four in Ford Field. Michigan State University earned net revenues of $1 million from the event. Similarly, he executed the “Cold War” ice hockey game between Michigan State and Michigan, drawing a then-world record crowd of 74,554 to an outdoor hockey game in Spartan Stadium. 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. His creativity and negotiation skills have helped Michigan State enhance its postseason bowl appearances in a very competitive environment. During his time at MSU, the Spartans have appeared in the Alamo Bowl twice, along with the Capital One Bowl, Champs Sports Bowl, Citrus Bowl, Aloha Bowl, Sun Bowl, Independence Bowl and the Silicon Valley Football Classic. He is also a key component during men’s basketball postseason play, having been a part of 13 straight trips to the NCAA Tournament and six Final Fours, handling many operational logistics. In this era of college athletics, Hollis also excels in his relations with corporate partners. During his time guiding the office, the athletic department’s annual sponsorship revenue billing increased from $350,000 to nearly $3 million. He developed an innovative sponsorship relationship with Nike for footwear, apparel and licensing resulting in cash payments to the university and product for all athletic programs. Hollis also understands the importance of television broadcasts and other multi-media outlets for promoting the athletic department and the University. Through a combination of innovative strategies and personal relationships with ESPN, ABC and CBS television, he has increased Michigan State’s television exposure by 60 percent for football and men’s basketball. His background in the field allows Hollis to better understand how to use the emerging Big Ten Network to provide national television exposure for each one of MSU’s varsity sports, and how to combine athletics with the academic mission of the university. Understanding the importance of the Internet in today’s world, he negotiated an Internet agreement that has MSU ranked consistently in the national top 20 with more than 1.8 million page views monthly. Prior to returning to Michigan State, Hollis spent two years at the University of Pittsburgh as assistant and associate athletic director. While at Pitt, he directed the operations for external affairs, game management and facilities, while also managing the day-to-day operations and budget of the football and men’s basketball programs. Before his stint at Pitt, Hollis worked for the Western Athletic Conference. He joined the WAC as an administrative assistant immediately after college. Two years later, he was appointed assistant to the commissioner and soon thereafter was promoted to assistant commissioner. As assistant commissioner, Hollis was responsible for all aspects of the budget, financial management, corporate sponsorships, promotions, personnel policies, conference tournaments, basketball officiating and general administrative duties. He coordinated relationships with postseason bowl games and television entities, resulting in significant increases in bowl appearances by conference teams. Hollis earned his bachelor of arts degree in communication from Michigan State in 1985, where he served as a basketball team manager under Jud Heathcote. In 1992, he earned his MBA in business administration from the University of Colorado. He and his wife Nancy, have a daughter, Katy, and two sons, T.R. and Michael.

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.

Here’s a quick look at some Spartan Stadium construction milestones:

• Dec. 22, 2003 – Groundbreaking begins at construction site.

• May 7, 2004 – Erection of steel framework begins.

Coaching staff

• July 30, 2004 – Topping-out ceremony held as the uppermost steel beam is lifted into place. • Nov. 13, 2004 – Press box demolition begins just 13 hours after Michigan State concluded its 2004 home schedule against Wisconsin. • Aug. 1, 2005 – The 20-month construction project was completed. Barton Malow/Clark served as the construction manager for the Spartan Stadium expansion project, with HNTB providing architectural services.

2009 Recap

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, is 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.

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.

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.

Prior to the 1998 season, a Mitsubishi Diamond Vision was installed in the south end zone and a new scoreboard and black and white message board were added to the north end zone. The CRT video display measures 21 feet x 27 feet and it is operated from a digital production control room in the Breslin Center. The video display board shows live game action, replays and special features. In addition, a concert-quality 50,000-watt sound system was installed.

Since 1957, capacity crowds have attended 152 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 54 seasons, including 18th in 2009, averaging 74,741 fans per game.

2010 Spartans

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.

With its 49-14 victory over No. 4 Wisconsin in the 2004 home finale, Michigan State recorded its 300th win in Spartan Stadium. Michigan State has compiled a 320-142-13 record (.687) since taking up residency in Spartan Stadium (formerly Macklin Field) in 1923. The Spartans have gone undefeated at home 16 times since the stadium opened, including a perfect 6-0 mark in 1999. It marked MSU’s first undefeated home record since 1966 (5-0-1) and its first unbeaten and untied home slate since 1965 (5-0-0).

2010 outlook

Spartan Stadium is in its 87th season as home to Michigan State football. Since its opening in 1923, Michigan State has won nearly 69 percent of its games played in Spartan Stadium. In 2005, the natural grass playing surface in Spartan Stadium earned Field of the Year honors from the Sports Turf Managers Association (STMA).

Bowl Championship Series

208

THE BCS IS: The Bowl Championship Series (BCS) is a five-game showcase of college football. It is designed to ensure that the two toprated teams in the country meet in the national championship game, and to create exciting and competitive matchups among eight other highly regarded teams in four other bowl games. It has been undeniably successful in achieving those goals. Thanks to the BCS, the top two teams have played each other 12 times in 12 years by BCS measurements and 9 times in the last 12 according to the AP poll – including the last six years in a row. Additionally, it has provided more access to the major bowls for all 11 conferences, more television exposure, and more postseason revenue than ever before. The BCS allows for preserving the significance of the regular season, which is the most meaningful in sports. It also maintains the bowl system to the benefit of dozens of universities each year. The bowl games participating are the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, FedEx Orange Bowl, Rose Bowl, Allstate Sugar Bowl and the BCS National Championship Game, which is played each year at one of the bowl sites. The BCS is managed by the commissioners of the 11 NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision (“FBS”) (formerly Division I-A) conferences, the director of athletics at the University of Notre Dame, and representatives of the bowl organizations. The conferences are Atlantic Coast, Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, Conference USA, Mid-American, Mountain West, Sun Belt, Pacific-10, Southeastern and Western Athletic. The conference commissioners and the Notre Dame athletics director make decisions regarding all BCS issues, in consultation with an athletics directors advisory group and subject to the approval of a 12-person presidential oversight committee whose members represent all 120 FBS programs.

Economic impact The total economic impact in the host cities from the five BCS games in January 2009, was estimated at more than $1.2 billion. Access Each conference had an opportunity to earn annual automatic qualification through a four-year evaluation covering the regular seasons of 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007. The Atlantic Coast, Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-10 and Southeastern Conferences met the threshold and earned automatic qualification through the 2013-14 season. A seventh conference could qualify for the 2012-13 and 2013-14 bowl season based on an evaluation of the 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 regular seasons.

The NCAA membership has not voted for the creation of a playoff. Given that context, the conferences created the BCS in order to match the top two teams in a bowl game while maintaining the importance of the regular season and preserving the bowl system.

“Football weekends are an important ingredient in the overall college experience – going well beyond simply what occurs in the athletics department,” said BCS Executive Director Bill Hancock. “A significant amount of the revenue that supports all athletic programs is generated by regular-season football. And so it is important that the regular season remains strong and vibrant.”

ESPN

The top two teams were matched in bowl games only eight times in the 56 years before the BCS and its predecessors (the Bowl Coalition and Bowl Alliance) were created. In those days, conferences were contractually obligated to certain games and there was no flexibility to attempt to match the top teams.

JAN. 10, 2011 | 8:30 P.M. EST

The 11 BCS conferences have a contract with ESPN to televise the games through the 2013-14 season.

A word about a playoff

DEC. 26, 2010 | 8:30 P.M. EST

The five BCS games are part of the overall bowl structure. All bowl games provide meaningful season-ending opportunities to teams.

The BCS places great premium on the regular season of college football.

Additionally, institutions can qualify in any given season by meeting certain thresholds.

Revenue Each conference whose team qualifies automatically for the BCS receives approximately $18 million in net revenue. A second team qualifying brings an additional $4.5 million to its conference. Notre Dame receives approximately $1.3 million. Army and Navy also receive $100,000 each, and the NCAA’s Football Championship Subdivision conferences share approximately $2 million.
