Bowl History

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

Honors & awards

Former Michigan State All-Big Ten center Jason Strayhorn begins his sixth season as the sideline reporter for the Spartan Sports Network. A native of Indianapolis, Ind., Strayhorn started 24 consecutive games at center for Coach Nick Saban in 1997-98. As a senior, he earned first-team All-Big Ten honors from the coaches and media after grading out as a winner (better than 70 percent) in 11 of the 12 games in 1998. The former team captain also received the Up Front Award as the team’s outstanding interior lineman in 1998, consistently posting the unit’s top grade for pass protection by not allowing a sack the entire season. Strayhorn turned in one of the best performances of his career in MSU’s 28-24 victory over top-ranked Ohio State in Columbus in 1998. He was selected Spartan Offensive Player of the Week after grading out 80 percent overall against the Buckeyes, including 89 percent in his pass-blocking assignments.

“Spartan Football All-Access” debuts the 2011 Spartan season preview show on Friday, Aug. 26 at 7 p.m. on FOX Sports Detroit. The preview show will air throughout the rest of the month of August, leading up to the Sept. 2 season opener against Youngstown State.

Coaching staff

BTN is on the air 24 hours per day, 365 days a year. The network annually televises nearly 400 live events and streams an additional 300+ events. Each year’s schedule is comprised of approximately 40-45 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 BTN football game telecast is surrounded by Big Ten Football Saturday, the network’s pre-game, halftime and postgame show hosted by Dave Revsine and analysts Gerry DiNardo and Howard Griffith.

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

The fall programming lineup will include Big Ten Icons, Tailgate 48, Behind the Schemes, Big Ten’s Best, Big Ten Breakdown, Big Ten Football & Beyond, The Big Ten’s Greatest Games and much more.

2010 Recap

In addition to live events, the network also airs coaches’ shows and classic games. Each campus also has the opportunity to produce original, campus programming highlighting various aspects of campus life and the qualities that make each university unique. Some of BTN’s streamed events are also televised on delay as part of the network’s Student U initiative. Big Ten students on each campus produce and announce these events, offering a unique opportunity to gain real-world television experience.

Spartan Records

Why the Network Was Created

A respectful acknowledgement of the 18 Heisman Trophy winners and 215 College Football Hall of Famers that have graced our fields and sidelines for the past 115 years.

BTN 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.

Spartan history

Considered to be one of the most successful launches in cable television history, BTN became the first network in cable or satellite television history to reach 30 million subscribers within its first 30 days on the air. BTN is a joint venture between subsidiaries of the Big Ten Conference and Fox Cable Networks. BTN’s Impact

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

Honors & awards

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.

2011 Spartans

2011 outlook

Under fifth-year head coach Mark Dantonio, Michigan State has solidified itself as a perennial Top 25 program and one of the top teams in the Big Ten Conference. The Spartans are coming off the winningest season in program history after going 11-2 in 2010 while claiming their first Big Ten Championship in 20 years. MSU has appeared in four consecutive bowl games, including two on New Year’s Day, and finished No. 14 in both of the major polls last season. This season, the Spartans are stocked with talent and depth at nearly every position as they prepare to defend their Big Ten title and attempt to reach the Rose Bowl for the first time since defeating USC in 1988. Michigan State welcomes back 15 starters – including eight who earned All-Big Ten recognition last season – and a total of 47 letterwinners overall. In addition, several rising players who redshirted in 2010 and stood out during spring practice will get to vie for key spots on both offense and defense. Dantonio, who has won more games (33) than any Spartan coach in his first four seasons, takes a position-by-position look at the 2011 Spartans.

Spartan Records

Fifth-year senior Kirk Cousins, who will likely become just the second three-time captain in Michigan State football history, returns for his third season as the starting quarterback. In his two seasons as the starter, Cousins (6-3, 205) has posted impressive numbers. He enters his final year wearing the Green and White as the most accurate passer in school history, completing 64 percent of his attempts, and also owns with the best pass efficiency rating of any Spartan quarterback (146.7 rating). Cousins already ranks among MSU’s career leaders in passing yards (fourth; 5,815 yards), total offense (fourth; 5,727 yards), pass completions (sixth; 456), touchdown passes (sixth; 41) and pass attempts (eighth; 709). As a junior, Cousins was named a semifinalist for the Davey O’Brien Award (nation’s top quarterback), thanks to one of the best statistical seasons in Spartan history. His 66.9 completion percentage, 226 pass completions, 2,825 passing yards and 20 touchdown passes all ranked among the top five in the MSU single-season record book. But statistics are just one side of the story when looking at Cousins. His leadership skills are invaluable, from mentoring the younger players, to uniting the team during offseason workouts, to his decision-making on the field. He truly exemplifies what it means to be a leader. “There’s no substitute for experience, especially at the quarterback position,” Dantonio said. “Over the last four years, Kirk Cousins has grown and matured into becoming a premier quarterback. Kirk is a great student of the game and really understands the importance of paying close attention to detail when it comes to game preparation. He watches a ton of video each week and applies what he sees and learns in those video sessions to the practice field. As a result, Kirk makes great decisions with the football on game days. He will make all of the throws. In addition, Kirk has a great presence in the huddle

Kirk Cousins, who has compiled a 16-9 record in 25 career starts, already ranks as MSU’s all-time leader in completion percentage (.643) and passing efficiency rating (146.7).

and truly knows his teammates and how to energize them. With all that said, the bottom line is: Kirk is a proven winner.” Backing up Cousins for the second-straight year will be sophomore Andrew Maxwell (6-3, 208). Maxwell appeared in five games as a red-shirt freshman in 2010, completing 44 percent of his passes for 123 yards in limited action. Maxwell continued his development throughout spring practice, including one scrimmage in which he went 21-for-27 passing for 253 yards and two TDs. “Andrew played very, very well in the spring – he showed great control of the offense,” Dantonio said. “He’s got confidence, a live arm, and the size to be an extremely successful quarterback. He’s been in the system for two years and he’s really grown, plus he has game experience. I feel that Andrew would start at a lot of places.” Junior Peter Badovinac (6-2, 215) and true freshman Conner Cook (6-4, 200), who participated in the Elite 11 Quarterback camp during the summer, provide depth at quarterback. Dantonio also mentioned the possibility that former quarterback Keith Nichol – now a wide receiver – could see some snaps depending on the situation. “Keith Nichol needs to be a guy who can play some as a third quarterback in an emergency situation,” said Dantonio. “He is a great wide receiver, but he also has to take some reps at quarterback along the way in case we need him for any reason.”

“Heading into his third year, Edwin has a mature outlook on things,” Dantonio said. “He’s a very explosive player and can take it the distance. He always has gotten himself ready to play, and I think that’s a big part of his game.” After leading the team in rushing as a freshman in 2009, Caper entered last season as one of the starters at running back, but a hand injury kept him out of the first two games. With Baker and Bell collecting most of the carries, Caper saw a majority of his action in third-down situations, primarily due to his receiving and pass-blocking skills. Caper led all Spartan running backs with 12 receptions for 133 yards, and he also rushed for 144 yards. As a true freshman, Bell had an outstanding first half of the season with 549 yards and eight TDs in his first six games, including a season-best 141-yard effort with three touchdowns in his Spartan debut against Western Michigan. Baker’s emergence as the lead back in the second half of the year, however, slowed Bell’s production, but he was still named to the All-Big Ten Freshman Team by both ESPN.com and Rivals.com after finishing with 605 rushing yards (46.5 ypg.). This season, the coaching staff is looking for consistent numbers from Bell throughout the entire season. “I think you have to run the football,” Dantonio said, regarding MSU’s rushing philosophy. “I don’t think you can be a football team that’s going to line up and throw the ball every time, at least not for us here. You have to look at guys like Edwin Baker, Larry Caper and Le’Veon Bell. Those are guys that can make plays on the offensive side; we have to get those guys involved in space and allow them to go to work.” In addition to the three experienced backs, Nick Hill (5-7, 180, R-Fr.) and Jeremy Langford (5-11, 205, R-Fr.), who both redshirted last season, also will compete for playing time in the backfield. At fullback, a converted defensive player will once again enter preseason camp in the starting role. Fifth-year senior Todd Anderson (6-2, 260), who earned his first letter in 2010 as a defensive end, moved to fullback during spring practice and showed promising signs at his new position. “Todd found his home at fullback during the spring,”

RUNNING BACKS/fullbacks

Michigan State features one of the best running back trios in the nation in junior Edwin Baker (5-9, 210), junior Larry Caper (5-11, 223) and sophomore Le’Veon Bell (6-2, 237). A first-team All-Big Ten selection by the media as a sophomore in 2010, Baker had a breakthrough season after playing in just eight games as a true freshman. The Highland Park, Mich., product rushed for a team-best 1,201 yards (92.4 yards per game), which ranked fourth in the Big Ten and 30th in the nation, and became just the sixth sophomore at MSU to pass the 1,000-yard rushing mark. Baker also led the team with 13 rushing touchdowns.

2010 Recap

OFFENSIVE LINE

One of the challenges for the Spartans will be filling the holes left by three starters on the offensive line, including second-team All-Big Ten left tackle D.J. Young, center John Stipek and right tackle J’Micheal Deane. The good news is that there appears to be plenty of promising candidates ready for expanded roles this season. The anchor of the line will be fifth-year senior Joel Foreman (6-4, 315), who will return for his fourth year as the starting left guard. Foreman was an honorable mention All-Big-Ten selection last season and has started 36 career games, including 22 straight. Although he sat out in the spring to rest his wrist and ankle, Foreman provided leadership to the young line during the offseason and spring practice. John Deyo (6-6, 300, Jr.) took reps with the first team all spring and will support Foreman at left guard, along with Nate Klatt (6-4, 290, So.) and Shawn Kamm (6-7, 310, R-Fr.). Junior Chris McDonald (6-5, 300) holds down the spot at right guard after starting 12 games last season. In his first year as a starter in 2010, McDonald did not allow a sack during the regular season. “Chris was our most consistent offensive lineman during the spring,” Dantonio said. “He did a tremendous job in his first year as a starter, and now he’s become one of the leaders of that group. We’re expecting another great year from him on the right side of the line.” An inspirational player to the entire team, Arthur Ray Jr. (6-3, 299) returned to the football field in the spring for the first time in four years following a battle with cancer and will be a reserve at right guard.

Coaching staff

Brad Sonntag (5-8, 176) and Chris D. Rucker (5-9, 178), who have both earned letters, also return for their final season as fifth-year seniors. “We have more depth than in the past at wide receiver,” Dantonio said. “Our receivers could be a very special group, especially when you add Keith Mumphery and Tony Lippett to the mix with the three seniors along with Bennie Fowler. Keith Nichol looks more comfortable out there; B.J. has always been consistent, and Keshawn is a true playmaker.”

2011 Spartans

Perhaps the most experienced unit on the team, Michigan State returns four players who have started games at wide receiver, including three seniors: B.J. Cunningham (6-2, 215), Keshawn Martin (5-11, 189) and Keith Nichol (6-2, 220). Cunningham and Nichol will be the featured receivers at split end. A fifth-year senior, Cunningham will likely end his career atop the Michigan State record book for receptions, as he needs just 10 more to pass Matt Trannon to become the school’s all-time leader in that category. Cunningham enters 2011 with 139 catches, currently third in MSU history, to go along with 1,780 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns. Although he missed the Capital One Bowl with a broken foot, Cunningham still led the team with a career-high nine TD receptions, which tied for fourth most in an MSU season. Cunningham participated in spring practice and is 100 percent healthy at the onset of preseason camp. Nichol played his first full season as a receiver in 2010. A converted quarterback, Nichol split time with Cousins in 2009 before making the move to wideout during bowl practice of that season out of personnel necessity. One of the most athletic players on the team, Nichol flourished in his new position, and after a strong showing during spring practice, he quickly moved into a starting role for the 2010 season. Nichol went on to record 22 catches for 262 yards (11.9 avg.), while also proving to be a threat with his arm in specific situations, completing 4-for-7 passes for 62 yards and two TDs. His physicality also has paid dividends as one of his greatest strengths has proven to be his run-blocking ability. Martin is a versatile option and a scoring threat every time he touches the ball, accounting for touchdowns in five different ways in his career (rushing, receiving, passing, punt return, kick return). He was third on the team in both receiving (32 catches for 394 yards) and rushing (157 yards; 8.7 avg.) in 2010 and has led the team in all-purpose yards the last two seasons. Bennie Fowler (6-1, 215, So.) emerged as a multidimensional playmaker during the second half of last season following an Achilles injury that sidelined Martin for two games. Fowler made an immediate contribution in Martin’s absence, scoring a touchdown on a reverse and catching a key reception on a fake punt during MSU’s 17-point comeback win at Northwestern. He finished the season with 573 all-purpose yards, including 175 receiving yards on 14 catches. In addition to the players with starting experience, talented red-shirt freshmen Keith Mumphery (6-0, 202) and Tony Lippett (6-2, 189) will each see playing time following their impressive performances during spring practice. Lippett also could see action on the defense as a cornerback.

The remaining three starting positions will be fought for during preseason camp. At left tackle, Dan France (6-6, 315, So.) made quite an impression during spring practice while competing at the position for just a few weeks. A converted defensive lineman who earned a letter in 2010, France played tight end in high school, but never on the offensive line. His athleticism and upside at the position has made him the leading candidate to start prior to the season. Battling France at left tackle will be fifth-year senior Jared McGaha, a two-year letterman who has seen action in 23 career games and can play at either guard or tackle. McGaha (6-6, 298) appeared in nine games last season, including starts at right guard against Minnesota and left tackle against Purdue. Red-shirt freshman Michael Dennis (6-7, 307) provides depth behind France and McGaha. The race for center was crowded at the beginning of spring ball, but two contenders separated themselves following the 15 practices: Travis Jackson (6-3, 275, R-Fr.) and Blake Treadwell (6-3, 295, Jr.). After redshirting in the fall and playing on the scout team, Jackson saw his role change drastically in the spring, taking snaps with the first and second teams. “Travis had a tremendous winter conditioning program and played well in the spring,” Dantonio remarked. “He’s very athletic, intelligent, and tough.” Treadwell changed roles as well, lining up on the offensive side of the ball after spending his first two seasons on the defensive line; however, Treadwell has experience on the offensive line, as he was one of the most touted centers in the nation coming out of high school. He also can play guard if necessary and is listed behind McDonald on the preseason depth chart at right guard. “Blake was an outstanding offensive lineman coming out of high school,” Dantonio said. “We need to make sure we have guys that are athletic enough to play center and offensive guard, so we wanted to provide that opportunity for him to get in that mix. I think Blake will bring a tremendous amount of toughness and effort to our offensive line.” Ethan Ruhland (6-5, 290, Jr.) will also get snaps at center in preseason camp. Red-shirt freshman Skyler Burkland (6-7, 305) is full of potential and appears ready to push for a starting position at right tackle after an excellent spring season. “Skyler had an outstanding freshman year, and he’s everything you want as an offensive tackle,” Dantonio said. “He’s very active with great feet; he’s got toughness, and he’s extremely athletic. We’re going to give him the opportunity right from the outset, and we’ll build it from there.” Zach Hueter (6-6, 310, Jr.), Henry Conway (6-6, 318, So.) and junior college transfer Fou Fonoti (6-4, 300, Jr. ) also will have a chance to compete at right tackle during preseason camp. “We’re rebuilding three positions on the offensive line, but I think we have a nucleus of some outstanding players,” Dantonio said. “We have depth, which is always so crucial, and we’re bringing in some outstanding players as well. We’ve got some guys in there that show the ability to play.”

2011 outlook

Dantonio said. “We were encouraged by what we saw from him and look for him to improve even more during preseason camp.”

2011 outlook

The Spartans will once again feature one of the best tight end units in the nation, as four players who have earned letters at the position return in 2011. Although the leading tight end from the past three seasons, Charlie Gantt, was lost due to graduation, fifth-year senior Brian Linthicum (6-5, 245) is more than capable of taking over that role this fall. Named to the preseason watch list for the Mackey Award, Linthicum has 49 catches for 572 yards (11.7 avg.) and six TDs in 38 collegiate games. After playing his freshman year at Clemson, Linthicum has played in 25 games at MSU, including 12 starts, and has 38 receptions for 496 yards (13.1 avg.). Also returning for his third season in the playing rotation is fellow fifth-year senior Garrett Celek (6-5, 252), who has battled shoulder injuries the past two years and was limited to just two games of action in 2010. Celek has proven to be a solid run blocker and a viable pass threat when healthy, with 11 catches for 100 yards (9.1 avg.) and two TDs in his career. After sitting out last season, Dion Sims (6-5, 276, So.) is back and ready to make an impact in 2011. A Big Ten All-Freshman selection in 2009, Sims led the Spartan tight ends that season with three touchdowns to go along with 11 catches for 133 yards. Sophomore Derek Hoebing (6-7, 270), who earned his first letter in 2010 after playing primarily on special teams, also could see action in the rotation this season. Andrew Gleichert (6-5, 250, R-Fr.) and Drew Stevens (6-4, 242, Jr.) will provide depth at the position. DEFENSIVE LINE

Spartan history

The Spartans have the potential for one of their best defensive lines in years as three starters and eight lettermen return in 2011. Leading the way up front is junior defensive tackle Jerel Worthy (6-3, 310), who has been named to preseason watch lists for the Bednarik, Lombardi and Nagurski Awards as well as Outland Trophy. An honorable mention All-Big Ten selection as a sophomore by both the coaches and media, Worthy ranked first among Spartan defensive linemen in

2010 with 40 tackles, including eight for losses (42 yards) and a team-best four sacks (27 yards). In two seasons, Worthy has collected 17 tackles for loss and 8.5 sacks. Backing up Worthy will be fifth-year senior Johnathan Strayhorn, a former defensive end who moved to the inside during spring practice. Strayhorn (6-0, 272) ranked second only to Worthy last season with 3.5 sacks while recording a career-high 27 tackles. Both Kevin Pickelman (6-4, 288, Sr.-5) and Anthony Rashad White (6-2, 316, Jr.) will see significant time in the rotation at nose tackle. Pickelman started seven games last season and responded with a career-best 31 tackles. He sat out spring practice for precautionary reasons with a neck injury, but he’s healthy as he begins his final season at MSU. White was one of the surprises of spring practice, emerging as a legitimate force on the defensive line. After transferring from Fort Scott Community College and then getting a season of Big Ten football under his belt in 2010, he showed significant improvement in the spring, spending a majority of his time with the first team. “Rashad became a dominant player in the spring,” Dantonio said. “He now needs to transition that effort into the season.” Blake Pacheco (6-1, 264, Sr.-5), Micajah Reynolds (6-5, 320, So.), Jordan Sanders (6-1, 288, R-Fr.) and Dave Curtis (6-2, 250, Jr.) will add depth on the interior. Tyler Hoover (6-7, 290), in his first year as a full-time starter at defensive end, tallied a career-high 36 tackles. During a highly productive two-game stretch against Illinois and Northwestern, he compiled 18 stops and three sacks; he was named the Big Ten Co-Defensive Player of the Week following his ninetackle, two-sack performance against the Wildcats. Opposite of Hoover will be a combination of William Gholston (6-7, 280) and Denzel Drone (6-2, 262), two rising sophomores that could have breakthrough seasons in 2011. Before a shoulder injury caused him to miss the final three games of the year, Gholston had 13 tackles and five quarterback hurries. Drone started four contests and also finished his first season with 13 stops. “At 6-7, 280-290 pounds, both Tyler Hoover and William Gholston can be very good defensive ends,” Dantonio said. “Tyler has been in the program for four years, so he has a good understanding of our system. William has a lot of talent, and he really benefitted greatly by playing last season as a true freshman.” Marcus Rush (6-2, 250, R-Fr.) and Corey Freeman (6-2, 250, Jr.) will see time in the rotation behind Hoover, while Taylor Calero (6-3, 245, R-Fr.) also adds depth at the position.

LINEBACKERS

Jerel Worthy led the Spartan defensive linemen with 40 tackles in 2010, including a team-best four sacks (27 yards.)

MSU’s linebacker corps will have a new look in 2011 following the departure of two of the top linebackers in school history: two-time All-American Greg Jones and Eric Gordon. Jones and Gordon combined for 796 tackles and 95 starts in their careers, staggering numbers that will have to be replaced; however, MSU has stockpiled talent at the position the past few years and is in good shape entering the season.

In his first year as a starter, Chris Norman ranked sixth on the team with 59 tackles.

The Spartans do return Chris Norman (6-1, 227, Jr.), who started 10 games last year at Star (weak side) linebacker and finished sixth on the team with 59 tackles (4.9 avg.). With 11 career starts, the two-year letterman is the team’s most experienced linebacker in a unit that does not have a senior and features only one other upperclassmen in Steve Gardiner. After ranking second on the team in 2010 with 13 special teams tackles, Gardiner (6-1, 222, Jr.) is looking to have a larger role on the defense this fall. He enters preseason camp slated to be Norman’s back-up at Star while also possibly having a chance to play at Mike (middle) linebacker. Danny Folino (5-9, 195, So.) will provide depth behind Norman and Gardiner. The heir apparent to Jones in the middle is sophomore Max Bullough (6-3, 245). In limited action as a true freshman, Bullough still managed to record 23 tackles and was named to the ESPN.com Big Ten All-Freshman Team. During an impressive spring season, Bullough cemented his role as the starting Mike linebacker and become more of a vocal leader on the field for the defense. “I don’t think Greg Jones is a guy that you can easily replace, but Max has been playing very well,” Dantonio said. “He has a great command of our defense and has awareness out there on the field. Max has a great future ahead of him.” Sophomore TyQuan Hammock (6-0, 230) will also see time in the rotation at middle linebacker. Hammock had an excellent offseason in terms of conditioning and returned to his natural position of linebacker in the spring after spending the 2010 campaign at fullback. He led the Spartans with 16 tackles on special teams a year ago and tied for the lead in tackles at the spring game with eight. At Sam (strong side) linebacker, Denicos Allen (5-10, 220, So.) appears ready to take over a starting role after seeing significant playing time as red-shirt freshman in 2010. Allen saw action in all 13 games and compiled 18 tackles, and also made one of the plays of the year with a blocked punt against Purdue in the fourth quarter that helped spark MSU’s 15-point comeback victory. “Denicos has always been a great tackler, and he had a good year on special teams as a red-shirt

The goal remains the same every year in East Lansing: the Rose Bowl. In just four years, Dantonio and his staff have built a solid foundation that continues to improve each season, and that work paid off with a Big Ten Championship in 2010. Now, the Spartans are looking to stay on top. With a key group of veterans returning from last year’s championship team along with a talented mix of newcomers, the program is in position to make a run for another Big Ten title during the 2011 season. “We need to continue raising our level of play,” Dantonio said. “When you look at it, every program has the things that they weigh and can look at as positives, and every program has things they need to continue to improve on. I think it needs to get to the point where we play against anybody, any place, and compete. We’re very, very close to being able to do that. “I think the process has always been here and that we will always challenge ourselves to be the best at what we’re doing, whether that’s academically, athletically or off the field. We want to try to do our very best – that’s how we always set it up around here.”

special teams

Michigan State has consistently fielded one of the top special teams units in the Big Ten during Dantonio’s tenure, and last year was no exception. The Spartans featured first-team All-Big Ten honorees at both placekicker (Dan Conroy) and punter (Aaron Bates), while punt returner Keshawn Martin was rated the best in the conference by several media outlets. In his first year as the starting placekicker last season, Conroy (5-10, 190, Jr.) had to replace Brett Swenson, MSU’s all-time leader in scoring, field goals and extra points. The Spartans didn’t miss a beat with Conroy, as he was a sensational 14-for-15 in fieldgoal attempts to lead the conference and rank fifth nationally with a .993 field-goal percentage. Conroy, who also led the team in scoring with 87 points, set a school record by hitting his first 13 field-goal attempts of the season. Kevin Muma (6-0, 189, So.) also returns this season after taking over the kickoff duties for the first time in 2010. Muma, who averaged 64.5 yards on kickoffs and had 13 touchbacks last season, also will serve as the back-up placekicker, behind Conroy. A starter for four years, Bates was more than just a quality punter for MSU – he was a clutch player who

was a threat on fake attempts, which included his game-winning touchdown pass in overtime against Notre Dame last season, and he was also a leader, becoming the first punter in school history to be named a captain. Red-shirt freshman Mike Sadler (6-0, 182), a lefty, will look to replace Bates and continue MSU’s long-standing tradition at punter. The Spartans have had five punters in the NFL in the past 30 years. “When we recruited Mike Sadler, he was one of the top punters in the country,” Dantonio said. “I thought he showed a tremendous amount of maturity by coming here and then sitting out a year. He watched Aaron Bates and really grew. He’ll do an outstanding job. He’s got a big-time leg, good command of the snap, and the ball spins a little differently coming off his left foot.” One of the most overlooked aspects of special teams is the long snapper. Following the loss of four-year starter Alex Shackleton, Steve Moore (6-3, 223, R-So.) enters his first year in the role and will look to maintain the consistency of the unit. Martin, who will anchor the return team, already ranks eighth in MSU history in kick return yards (1,070) and 12th in punt return yards (385). He became the first Spartan to lead the Big Ten in punt returns last season with his 14.2-yard average, which ranked 11th nationally. Martin returned a punt 74 yards for a touchdown in the win over Wisconsin and ran back a kickoff 93 yards for a score in 2009 against Minnesota. Bennie Fowler also will get a chance to return kickoffs. Fowler became MSU’s top kick returner at the end of last season following Martin’s Achilles injury, and finished second on the team with 336 kick return yards on 15 attempts (22.4 avg.).

Michigan State was one of just two schools in the Big Ten last season to have all four starters in the secondary earn all-conference recognition. Two of those players return this fall, as Johnny Adams (5-11, 175, Jr.) will line up at field corner and Trenton Robinson (5-10, 192, Sr.) at free safety. Robinson, a second-team All-Big Ten selection by the coaches in 2010, blossomed his junior season, ranking among the Big Ten leaders in passes defended (tied for second with 12), pass break-ups (tied for third with 8) and interceptions (tied for fourth with 4). He also was fourth on the team with a career-high 76 tackles. With the departure of several key players from last year’s defense, Robinson will be looked to as a leader in his senior season. “Trenton Robinson is a solid player who provides great leadership in the secondary,” Dantonio said. “He has grown significantly every year he’s been in our program. In order for us to be successful on defense, we need him to be a leader and a playmaker.” Adams started every game last season and earned second-team All-Big Ten accolades by the coaches. He showed promise as a true freshman in 2008 but was granted a medical redshirt after he missed 10 games in 2009. The Akron, Ohio, native bounced back in a big way as he ranked sixth in the league in both interceptions (3) and pass break-ups (7), while also compiling 50 tackles. This spring, he elevated his game even further and was cited by the coaching staff as one of the standouts on the defense. A number of younger players will also get a chance to make their mark in the secondary this season.

At boundary corner, sophomore Darqueze Dennard (5-11, 185) is projected to be the starter heading into preseason camp. Dennard appeared in six games as a true freshman last year before missing the final five games due to a knee injury. In his two starts against Northwestern and Illinois, he combined for nine tackles, including two tackles for loss, while also forcing and recovering a fumble. In addition, Mitchell White (5-11, 180, Jr.), a two-year letterwinner, will be in the rotation at boundary corner. One player that could see time on both sides of the ball is Tony Lippett, a red-shirt freshman who has impressed the coaches with his versality and athleticism. Lippett (6-2, 189) split his time in spring practice with the offense and defense, and enters camp listed on the depth chart at both flanker and field corner. “Tony is a guy that can make plays for us,” Dantonio said. “I think we have to play him more than 15 to 20 snaps, and with our depth at wide receiver, you have to look at him on defense. He got enough reps at both positions in the spring, so we’ll just have to make those decisions as a coaching staff during preseason camp.” Dana Dixon (6-2, 170, So.) and Arjen Colquhoun (6-0, 187, Fr.) add depth at cornerback. Isaiah Lewis (5-10, 195, So.) has the inside track at strong safety following a solid showing during the spring. Lewis appeared in all 13 games as a true freshman and made 15 tackles to earn a spot on the Rivals.com Big Ten All-Freshman Team. Jairus Jones (6-1, 209, So.) was in line to be in the rotation this fall at strong safety, but an Achilles injury toward the end of spring practice sidelined him for the spring game and summer conditioning. There is still a possibility Jones could see the field this fall. A pair of red-shirt freshmen, Mylan Hicks (5-11, 191) and Kurtis Drummond (6-1, 196), will support Robinson and Lewis at safety, respectively.

freshman,” Dantonio said. “He played in a lot of different situations. Denicos had a great spring and is in excellent condition, so he’ll be a factor out there.” Sophomores Jeremy Gainer (6-1, 228) and Kyler Elsworth (6-1, 215) along with red-shirt freshman Ty Hamilton (6-0, 230) also could see time in the rotation at Sam linebacker.

Dantonio became the first coach in Spartan history to begin his initial season 4-0, as Michigan State opened the 2007 campaign with wins over UAB, Bowling Green, Pittsburgh and Notre Dame. With the 31-14 victory over the Irish, the Spartans became the first opponent to win six-straight games in the 77-year history of Notre Dame Stadium.

He previously spent six years as an assistant coach at Michigan State from 1995-2000. The 55-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.

In his three seasons at Cincinnati, 21 of Dantonio’s players earned All-BIG EAST honors and 40 received academic all-conference recognition. In back-to-back years (2006-07), Cincinnati’s program was presented the American Football Coaches Association Academic Achievement Award for attaining a graduation rate of at least 70 percent for its student-athletes. Prior to his appointment at Cincinnati, Dantonio served as the defensive coordinator under Jim Tressel at Ohio State for three seasons, where his defensive unit helped the Buckeyes to a combined record of 32-6. 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 Nick Saban and one under Bobby Williams. He was promoted to associate head coach in 2000. During his six-year tenure as an assistant, the Spartans compiled a 39-30-1 record. 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.

coaching staff Dan Roushar enters his fifth year on the Michigan State coaching staff and his first as offensive coordinator. He also will coach the tight ends.

Pat Narduzzi is in his fifth season as defensive coordinator at Michigan State.

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 with 198.2 ypg. He tutored left tackle Pete Clifford, who went on to earn second-team All-Big Ten honors.

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

For Roushar’s complete bio, please visit msuspartans.com.

In 2009, Jones became the first Spartan to be named Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year after leading the conference and ranking third nationally with 154 tackles. Jones was rated the No. 1 linebacker in the nation by CollegeFootballNews.com and earned the Linebacker Trophy (Linebacker of the Year) by the College Football Performance Awards. In addition to Jones, 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). He became the second player to earn Freshman All-America honors under Narduzzi at MSU (Jones in 2007). Michigan State’s strength in 2009 was stopping the run, as the Spartans ranked 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 during the season. The Spartans also put pressure on the quarterback, ranking third in the conference and 17th (tied) in the country with 35 sacks. In 2008, MSU placed two players – Jones and safety Otis Wiley – on the All-Big Ten first team, marking the first time since 2000 that the Spartans have had two defensive first-team selections in the same season. Jones led the Big Ten during conference play in tackles, while Wiley anchored the Spartan secondary and ranked among the league leaders in interceptions (4) and passes defended (11). In 2007, the Spartans recorded 40 sacks, 24 more than it produced the entire 2006 season. In fact, the 40 sacks were the third-highest total in MSU single-season history and exceeded the Spartans’ combined sack totals for the previous two seasons (32). The Spartans ranked fourth in the Big Ten (tied) and No. 14 in the NCAA, averaging 3.08 sacks per game. In addition, MSU ranked fourth in the Big Ten and 30th nationally in rushing defense (125.8 ypg.).

Honors & awards

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. In his six years in DeKalb, NIU also produced four 1,000-yard rushers, including Michael Turner who finished second in the NCAA in rushing in 2002 while averaging 159.6 yards per game. In 2000, the Huskies ranked among the national leaders in rushing offense (No. 12 at 228.1 ypg.), total offense (No. 19 at 427.8 ypg.) and scoring offense (No. 12 at 37.2 points per game). The 427.8 total yards per game marked the second-best single-season average in NIU history and the school’s best figure since 1963.

Narduzzi was named the National Coordinator of the Week by Rivals.com after the Spartans held Michigan to a season-low 162 rushing yards as Michigan State handed the Wolverines their first loss of the season, 34-17, on Oct. 9.

Spartan history

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

In addition to Jones, six more Spartan defenders received All-Big Ten recognition on either the second team or honorable mention in 2010. Senior linebacker Eric Gordon was a second-team pick by both the coaches and media, while the entire secondary (cornerbacks Johnny Adams and Chris L. Rucker; safeties Marcus Hyde and Trenton Robinson) was honored. Sophomore defensive tackle Jerel Worthy, who led the team with four sacks, received honorable mention.

Spartan Records

The Spartans featured the nation’s fourth-leading rusher in Javon Ringer in 2008. In addition, the unit allowed just 24 sacks all season, ranking fourth in the Big Ten. Four of MSU’s five starters were awarded postseason honors, including second-team All-Big Ten selections Roland Martin (right guard) and Jesse Miller (right tackle). Nitchman earned honorable mention All-Big Ten honors while Foreman was named Freshman All-American.

For the fifth time under Narduzzi, a defensive player was named to the All-Big Ten first team, as senior linebacker Greg Jones became just the seventh player in program history to earn first-team honors three times. Jones, who led the team with 106 tackles, also earned consensus firstteam All-America accolades for the second straight year, making him just the third Spartan to accomplish that feat (George Webster and Bubba Smith, 1965-66).

2010 Recap

Two Spartan offensive linemen earned All-Big Ten recognition in 2009 under Roushar’s direction, as center Joel Nitchman was named second-team All-Big Ten by the media and Foreman garnered honorable mention accolades by the coaches and media. For the second straight season, Roushar’s unit was one of the most effective in the Big Ten protecting the quarterback, as the Spartans gave up only 14 sacks, the fewest amount of any team in the conference.

The biggest difference in MSU’s turnaround was takeaways – after forcing just 14 in 2009, MSU totaled 24 in 2010. The Spartans recorded 17 interceptions, its highest total since 2004, which ranked third in the Big Ten and tied for 23rd in the nation.

Coaching staff

Young’s move proved to be a success, as he garnered second-team All-Big Ten honors from the coaches, while junior left guard Joel Foreman was a third-team All-America selection by Phil Steele. Sophomore Edwin Baker was the main beneficiary of the Spartans’ offensive line play, as the first-team All-Big Ten pick by the media ranked fourth in the Big Ten and 30th in the NCAA FBS averaging 92.4 rushing yards per game.

2011 Spartans

Michigan State’s improved rushing attack in 2010 was fueled by a solid offensive line that featured the same core of starters throughout the entire season. Although the unit began the year with three new starters and a position switch from right tackle to left tackle for D.J. Young, the Spartans established their running identity early in the season, rushing for more than 200 yards in five of the first six games. DAN ROUSHAR OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR/ TIGHT ENDS FIFTH SEASON

2011 outlook

Narduzzi’s unit in 2010 had its best showing since his arrival in East Lansing. Michigan State concluded the regular season ranked among the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision leaders in rushing defense (No. 21 allowing 121.9 ypg.), scoring defense (No. 26 allowing 20.1 ppg.), total defense (No. 31 allowing 337.8 ypg.) and pass efficiency defense (No. 33 with a 117.0 rating). In addition, MSU allowed only one 100-yard rusher all season (Game 11 by Purdue’s Keith Carlos).

A 27-year coaching veteran, this marks the fifth time that Roushar will be an offensive coordinator in his career. He most recently served as offensive coordinator at Illinois during the 2004 season, and has also directed offenses at Northern Illinois (1998-2002), Ball State (1994) and Butler (1989-92). In his last four seasons coaching the offensive line at Michigan State, Roushar’s linemen earned All-Big Ten recognition on eight occasions.

2010 Recap

The unit combined for 17 interceptions, most at MSU since 2004, after collecting just six in 2009. The interceptions helped fuel MSU’s positive turnover margin, as the Spartans leaped from 94th in the nation in 2009 to 31st in that department last season. In 2009, senior cornerback Jeremy Ware earned honorable mention All-Big Ten honors after recording a career-high 52 tackles and five pass break-ups while starting every game. Ware went on to be selected in the seventh round of the 2010 NFL Draft by Oakland. 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 Otis Wiley, a first-team All-Big Ten selection and Jim Thorpe Award finalist who ranked among the league leaders in interceptions (4) and passes defended (11). 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. 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 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 defensive backs, along with three interceptions and three fumble recoveries. 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 spent two seasons at New England (1993-94) and two more with Minnesota (1995-96).

TED GILL DEFENSIVE LINE fifth SEASON

Gill molded a young line in 2010 that featured only one senior to help the Spartans rank among the national leaders in several categories during the regular season, including scoring defense (No. 26 allowing 20.1 points per game) and total defense (No. 31 allowing 337.8 yards per game). The line was instrumental in stopping the run, as the Spartans ranked third in the Big Ten and 21st nationally in the regular season by giving up just 121.9 rushing ypg. In addition, MSU allowed only one 100-yard rusher all season (Game 11 by Purdue’s Keith Carlos).

Sophomore defensive tackle Jerel Worthy earned All-Big Ten honorable mention honors after leading the line with 40 tackles and four sacks. A Freshman All-American in 2009, Worthy also ranked third on the team with eight tackles for loss last season. Senior defensive end Colin Neely had a career year in his final season under Gill, ranking first on the team with 10 tackles for loss while compiling a career-high 34 tackles. In addition, junior Kevin Pickelman and sophomore Tyler Hoover showed significant improvement, as both players recorded career highs in tackles. Spartan defensive linemen have garnered All-Big Ten recognition six times during Gill’s tenure, including Jonal Saint-Dic, who was a second-team All-American in 2007. In addition, Ogemdi Nwagbuo, who Gill mentored in 2007, just completed his second season playing for the San Diego Chargers. 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 were fourth in the Big Ten and 24th nationally by allowing just 113.2 rushing ypg. MSU limited its opponents to fewer than 100 rushing yards in six games. Veteran end Trevor Anderson led the line with 45 tackles (7.5 for loss) and earned honorable mention All-Big Ten honors. Anderson, who also played under Gill at Cincinnati, amassed 39.5 tackles for loss and 22 sacks in his career. In 2008, three Spartans on the defensive line earned honorable mention All-Big Ten honors, 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. Michigan State’s defensive line saw a dramatic improvement in Gill’s first season, as Saint-Dic and Ervin Baldwin enjoyed breakout years. 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 secondhighest total in school history.

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

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

Last season, Staten oversaw two of the most talented tight ends in the Big Ten, in senior Charlie Gantt and junior Brian Linthicum.

A back-to-back first-team consensus All-American, Jones led the Spartans in tackles (106), forced fumbles (3) and quarterback hurries (6) and ranked tied for first in tackles for loss (10 for 20 yards) in 2010. He became just the seventh MIKE TRESSEL player in program history to receive first-team All-Big Ten LINEBACKERS/SPECIAL TEAMS honors three times. fifth SEASON A model of consistency, Jones led the team in tackles in 31

Gantt, who was a second-team All-Big Ten pick by the media, had 24 receptions for 301 yards and three touchdowns. He was an honorable mention All-American by SI.com and was named to the midseason watch list for the Mackey Award, which is awarded to the nation’s top tight end. Gantt ranked among the top tight ends in Spartan history, finishing his career tied for third in TD receptions (9) and sixth in both receptions (65) and receiving yards (951). MARK STATEN Offensive Line fifth SEASON

A transfer from Clemson, Linthicum was on the preseason watch list for the Mackey Award, as Michigan State was the only school in the country to have two tight ends on the list. He recorded 18 catches for 230 yards and one TD in 2010 and has caught 38 passes for 496 yards in his twoyear Spartan career. Staten also worked with the tackles the past four seasons, and his mentoring of D.J. Young paid dividends in 2010 as Young moved from right tackle to left tackle. A second-team All-Big Ten selection by the coaches, Young and left guard Joel Foreman anchored an offensive line that ranked fifth in the Big Ten and 40th nationally in rushing during the regular season, averaging 168.8 yards per game.

Spartan Records

In 2009, four Spartan tight ends combined for 56 receptions, 780 receiving yards and eight TD catches. In addition to coaching the tight ends, Staten’s work with the offensive line helped the unit allow the fewest amount of sacks in the Big Ten (14).

Spartan history

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).

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.

In 2008, Staten’s offensive line unit 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.

In his role as linebackers coach over the last four seasons, Tressel mentored Greg Jones and Eric Gordon, two of the top linebackers in the nation who combined for 796 tackles in their careers.

of his last 39 games and became only the second player in MSU history to lead the Spartans in tackles for four-straight seasons (linebacker Dan Bass, 1976-79). The Cincinnati, Ohio, native started 46 of 52 career games and ranks among MSU’s all-time leaders in tackles for loss (second with 44.5), tackles (third with 457) and sacks (sixth with 16.5). Jones became the first Spartan to win Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year accolades after collecting 154 tackles in 2009, the most in the conference and third nationally. He 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. Jones was selected in the sixth round (No. 185 overall) of the 2011 NFL Draft by the New York Giants. Gordon started more games (49) than any player in Spartan history, including 40 consecutive starting assignments. He finished his career ranked among MSU’s all-time leaders in tackles for loss (10th with 29), tackles (12th with 331) and sacks (21st with 9.5). A second-team All-Big Ten selection by the coaches and media as a senior, Gordon was second on the team and 13th in the Big Ten with 92 tackles (7.1 avg.) in 2010, which tied his career high. Tressel also oversees a successful special teams unit that has been one of the best in the Big Ten since his arrival. Over the last four years, MSU has had two first-team All-Big Ten placekickers (Brett Swenson, Dan Conroy), a first-team All-Big Ten punter (Aaron Bates), and has featured conference leaders in both kick returns (Devin Thomas) and punt returns (Keshawn Martin). Last season, Bates ranked first in the Big Ten and 13th in the nation with his 45.0-yard punting average to earn first-team All-Big Ten accolades and second-team All-America honors by SI.com. In addition, Martin ranked first in the conference and 11th nationally in punt returns (14.2 avg.), and sophomore Dan Conroy was a first-team All-Big Ten selection after going 14-for-15 in field goals during his first year as the starting placekicker. Not only did the unit rank among the national leaders statistically in 2010, but it also delivered in the clutch. Four of the biggest plays during Michigan State’s Big Ten Championship season arrived on special teams, including: Bates’ 29-yard completion to Charlie Gantt on a fake field goal in overtime that won the game against Notre Dame; Martin’s 72-yard punt return for a touchdown that gave MSU the lead for good in the win over Wisconsin; Bates’ 21-yard pass to Bennie Fowler on a fake punt in the fourth quarter that sparked MSU’s comeback at Northwestern; and Denicos Allen’s blocked punt late in the fourth quarter against Purdue that led to the game-winning touchdown.

Warner also developed Hoyer’s game management skills, as the senior captain accumulated a 16-11 record and led the Spartans to back-to-back bowl appearances. After signing a free agent contract in April 2009, Hoyer has worked his way into the back-up quarterback role for the New England Patriots the last two seasons.

In June, 2007, the Varsity S Club inducted him as an honorary member.

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.

1920 MSU Record: 4-6-0 George “Potsy” Clark, an All-America quarterback under the legendary Bob Zuppke at Illinois, served as MAC’s coach for only one season. The Aggies had a losing record, but one of those victories was a record 109-0 rout of Olivet. Among his other stops in college coaching were at Minnesota and Butler. He also served as athletic director at Nebraska, 1945-1953. Clark is probably best known as head coach of the Detroit Lions that won the 1935 NFL title. He died in 1972 at the age of 78.

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.

1933-46 MSU Record: 70-34-10 Charlie Bachman, another Notre Dame alumnus, succeeded Jim Crowley as head football coach at Michigan State, coming to East Lansing after a successful stint at Florida. A teammate of Knute Rockne, Bachman employed the Notre Dame system and forged 10 winning seasons in 13 years. During his second season with the Spartans in 1934, he led State to an 8-1 record, which included a 16-0 victory over Michigan, the school’s first since 1915. That marked the first of four-straight wins over UM. MSC posted another 8-1 regular-season record in 1937 and received the school’s first bid to a postseason bowl game, the 1938 Orange Bowl. Among Bachman’s greatest Spartan players were guard Sid Wagner, State’s first AllAmerican since 1915, halfback John Pingel and fullback Jack Breslin. Bachman died in 1985 at the age of 93. 1933 | 4-2-2

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.

2010 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.

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

Darryl Rogers

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.

George Perles 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.

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 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.

Mark Dantonio became Michigan State University’s 24th head football coach on Nov. 27, 2006. Dantonio has led Michigan State to four-straight bowl appearances – a first for the program since 1987-90 – and has already won 33 games, the most by any Spartan head coach in his first four seasons. In 2010, he led Michigan State to a school-record 11 wins and a share of its first Big Ten Championship in 20 years. Dantonio, who was selected Big Ten Coach of the Year, helped manage the third-biggest turnaround among NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision teams during the regular season, as the Spartans improved from 6-7 in 2009 to 11-1 in 2010. Thanks to its 28-22 victory at Penn State in the regularseason finale, MSU recorded its first win in State College since 1965 and finished in a three-way tie for the 2010 Big Ten Championship. MSU also completed its firstever 7-0 home season, including a 34-31 overtime win over Notre Dame and a 34-24 victory over Wisconsin in the Big Ten opener. He compiled an 18-17 record (.514) in three seasons at Cincinnati, including two postseason bowl appearances. Prior to accepting his first head coaching position at Cincinnati, Dantonio spent three years as defensive coordinator under Jim Tressel at Ohio State (2001-03) where he helped the Buckeyes to a combined record of 32-6 (.842), including the 2002 National Championship. He previously spent six seasons as secondary coach at Michigan State (1995-2000), including five years under Nick Saban and one under Bobby Williams. His college full-time coaching credits also include stops at Kansas (199194), Youngstown State (1986-90) and Akron (1985).

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).

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.

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

2010 Recap

Eric Allen brought home All-America honors his senior year in 1971 as chosen by the American Football Coaches Association. Allen rushed for a Big Tenleading 1,494 yards in overall action, an MSU seasonal record that stood until 1985. In addition, Allen’s 1,283 yards on the ground in league contests established a Big Ten mark, as did his 110 points, making him the first player in Big Ten history to crack the century mark. Allen broke two NCAA records, four Big Ten marks and nine MSU records in ’71. His greatest game came against Purdue when he rushed for an NCAA-record 350 yards on 29 carries, a record that stood until 1978. Named the Big Ten’s MVP in ’71, he rushed for 100 or more yards on seven occasions and his 18 TDs represented school and Big Ten records. Career-wise, he finished as MSU’s all-time leader in rushing attempts (521) and rushing yards (2,654). Drafted by the Baltimore Colts in the fourth round of the 1972 NFL Draft, he signed with the Toronto Argonauts of the CFL.

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

James Burroughs captured All-America honors as a senior in 1981 as picked by The Sporting News. After sitting out the 1980 season due to academic reasons, he bounced back in strong fashion to post 46 tackles while registering a then-MSU single-season record of 13 pass break-ups. Burroughs was part of a Spartan defense that ranked No. 1 in the Big Ten in pass defense in 1981. He was a first-team All-Big Ten choice as picked by the league’s coaches in 1981. He finished his collegiate career with 119 tackles and held the school record for pass break-ups with 28. Picked in the third round by Buffalo in the 1982 NFL Draft. robert carey #88 e | 6-5 | 215 Charlevoix, MIch. A great all-around athlete, Robert Carey was selected as an All-American as a senior in 1951 by the Associated Press, United Press, The Sporting News, Newspaper Enterprise Association, New York News and the All-American Board. MSU’s leading receiver for threestraight years, he hauled in 20 aerials for 263 yards and three TDs in ’51. Career-wise, he finished with 65 receptions for 1,074 yards and 14 TDs, with all three totals representing then school career records. In MSU’s 24-20 come-from-behind win at Ohio State, Carey caught four passes for 50 yards, converted three PATs and made a 24-yard field goal. Against Colorado, in his final collegiate game, he caught five passes for 104 yards and two touchdowns in a 45-7 win. He is just one of 10 athletes in the history of MSU to have earned nine varsity letters. He played professionally with the Los Angeles Rams and Chicago Bears. In 1996, he was named to MSU’s Centennial Super Squad (Pre-Big Ten Era). Lynn chandnois #14 hb | 6-2 | 195 Flint, MIch. Lynn Chandnois was an All-America pick as a senior in 1949 as chosen by the International News Service, United Press, Central Press, Football News and

Collier’s. One of the great two-way performers of his day, Chandnois rushed for a school-record 885 yards on 129 carries. Chandnois also intercepted seven enemy pass attempts, returning those thefts a total of 183 yards (tops in the nation). He paced the club in scoring with 60 points and rushed for over 100 yards in four contests that season, including a career-high 163 yards against Arizona. In the 75-0 win over the Wildcats, he sprinted 90 yards for a TD, still the longest rushing play in Spartan history. He played 55 minutes or better in six games while going all 60 in two outings. He closed out his career in the No. 1 spot in a variety of career categories at MSU, including rushing with 2,103 yards, total touchdowns with 30 (currently No. 6) and in points with 180. His 20 career interceptions are still the all-time MSU standard as is his 410 pass interception return yards. A No. 1 pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers, he played with that franchise until 1957. deandra cobb #21 KR | 5-10 | 186 Las Vegas, Nev. DeAndra Cobb, a first-team All-America selection by Collegefootballnews.com, led the Big Ten and ranked No. 11 in the NCAA in kickoff returns with his 27.2-yard average in 2003. His 763 kickoff return yards rank fourth on Michigan State’s single-season chart. Cobb returned five kickoffs for 167 yards (33.4 avg.) vs. Ohio State, including a 93-yard runback for a touchdown in the third quarter. It marked the first kickoff return for a TD allowed by the Buckeyes since 1984 when Michigan State’s Larry Jackson returned a kick 93 yards. Cobb set a Spartan single-season record with his third runback for a score, breaking the mark (two TDs) previously shared by Herb Haygood (2001), Derrick Mason (1995) and Derek Hughes (1979). His three kickoff returns for TDs also tied the NCAA I-A single-season record shared by Texas A&M’s Leeland McElroy (1993), New Mexico’s Terance Mathis (1989), Tennessee’s Willie Gault (1980), Southern Cal’s Anthony Davis (1974), Purdue’s Stan Brown (1970) and San Francisco’s Forrest Hall (1946). The 5-foot-10, 186pound Cobb also scored on kickoff returns of 100 yards vs. Minnesota and 94 yards vs. Rutgers. His 100-yard runback against Minnesota tied the Spartan record for longest return (Herb Haygood vs. Iowa, 2001; Derrick Mason vs. LSU, 1995, and Penn State, 1994; and Derek Hughes vs. Oregon, 1979). In two seasons (2003-04), Cobb returned 64 kickoffs for 1,632 yards and four TDs. His career 25.5-yard kickoff return average ranks sixth on the Big Ten’s all-time list. He was selected by the Atlanta Falcons in the sixth round of the 2005 NFL Draft. don coleman #78 t | 5-10 | 185 Flint, MIch. Don Coleman was MSU’s first unanimous All-American as a senior in 1951 as picked by the Associated Press, United Press, Collier’s, Look, The Sporting News, New York News, Football News, Newspaper Enterprise Association, All-American Board, International News Service, Chicago Tribune Players and Central Press. Although just 185 pounds, Coleman used his quickness and technique to become a devastating blocker. The squad’s MVP in ’51, he finished runner-up to Jim Weatherall (Oklahoma) in the voting for the Outland Trophy. Known as the “60-minute man,” Coleman stood out on defense and special teams.

He finished the year by completing 49 of 100 passes for 785 yards and nine TDs. MSU’s leading punter in ’58 and ’59, he was named the team’s MVP his senior year. A first-round pick of the Denver Broncos of the AFL, Look opted to sign a contract to play baseball with the Chicago White Sox.

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.”

Another of MSU’s all-time greats, Bubba Smith brought home AllAmerica recognition as a junior in 1965 as chosen by the American Football Coaches Association, and UPI before being selected to nine different squads as a senior. During the ’65 season, he helped the Spartans rank No. 1 in the nation in rushing defense while playing a key role in holding Ohio State, Notre Dame and Michigan to minus rushing yards. At 6-foot-8, 280 pounds, his statistics of 30 tackles in 1966 (10 tackles for losses) don’t nearly represent his impact on opposing squads which either tried double- or triple-teaming him or running away from his side of the field. The UPI named him Lineman of the Year, and the Baltimore Colts made him the No. 1 pick overall in the 1967 NFL Draft. He went on to enjoy an eight-year pro career before being inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1988. In 1996, he was chosen to MSU’s Centennial Super Squad in a poll conducted by the Lansing State Journal. In June 2006, Smith was rated among the Top 10 Greatest Defensive Players of All-Time, according to lists compiled by CollegeFootballNews.com’s Pete Fiutak (No. 6) and Richard Cirminiello (No. 8). On Sept. 23, 2006, he became just the third player in Michigan State football history to have his jersey number (No. 95) retired.

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.

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 first-team All-Big Ten pick, he served as the Spartan captain of the ’58 squad. He was credited with 13 solo stops against Michigan while Illinois and Purdue ran nearly all their sweep plays to the opposite side of the field. Drafted before he even participated in college (L.A. Rams in 1955), he played one season for the Rams before joining the Detroit Lions, where he played until 1966. Tom Yewcic #41 qb | 5-11 | 180 Conemaugh, PA.

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 comefrom-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.

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 All-America tackle Don Coleman, No. 90 worn by All-America roverback George Webster, No. 46 in honor of former MSU President John Hannah and No. 95 worn by All-America defensive end Charles “Bubba” Smith. Spartan head coach Biggie Munn (1947-53) pulled Coleman’s No. 78 out of circulation in 1952. Munn called Coleman, a consensus AllAmerican 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

George Webster #90

Charles “Bubba” Smith #95

Brad Van Pelt #10

John Pingel #37

Gene Washington #84

Daugherty retired the No. 46 in 1969 as a tribute to Dr. Hannah, who stepped down after 46 years of service to the University including 28 years as its president (1941-69). Hannah championed Michigan State’s acceptance into the Big Ten Conference in 1949. Former Spartan head coach and athletics director George Perles said, “John Hannah is the greatest legend in the history of Michigan State. He is the person who made MSU the great school it is today.” On Sept. 23, 2006, Smith became just the third player in Michigan State football history to have his jersey number (No. 95) retired. His jersey retirement was part of a special program to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the 1966 “Game of the Century” between the second-ranked Spartans and top-ranked Notre Dame that ended in a 10-10 tie. Former Michigan State All-Americans and College Football Hall of Famers Brad Van Pelt and John Pingel had their names added to Spartan Stadium’s “Ring of Fame” prior to MSU’s 2010 home game against Notre Dame. As MSU’s latest inductee into the College Football Hall of Fame (Class of 2011), Gene Washington’s name will be added to Spartan Stadium’s “Ring of Fame” at the Oct. 22 Homecoming game against Wisconsin. He will be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame at the NFF College Football Hall of Fame’s 54th Annual Awards Dinner Dec. 6 at the WaldorfAstoria in New York City. Washington joins Spartan legends Coleman, Webster, Hannah, Smith, Van Pelt and Pingel 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. Wells capped a 10-play, 73-yard drive with a 2-yard TD run to give the Spartans their first lead at 21-14 late in the third quarter. Early in the fourth quarter, UCLA forced another fumble and Jack Ellena recovered it at the MSU 24. Two plays later, Cameron hit Rommie Loudd with a 28-yard TD toss but Cameron’s conversion attempt sailed wide and the Bruins still trailed 21-20. Michigan State iced the game when Wells returned Cameron’s punt 62 yards for a touchdown with 4:51 left in the fourth quarter. Wells led a well-balanced Spartan running attack, picking up 80 yards on 14 carries. scoring summary First Quarter UCLA – Bill Stits 13 pass from Paul Cameron (John Hermann kick), 3:50 left.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

2011 outlook

Athletics Director Mark Hollis “We gather and engage our community to teach, support and celebrate our student-athletes in their quest for excellence.” This is the vision Mark Hollis has for the Michigan State Athletics Department. A Michigan State graduate and veteran Spartan athletics administrator, Hollis assumed the role of MSU’s 18th athletics director on Jan. 1, 2008, succeeding Ron Mason. Hollis was named athletics director-designate 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 wellrounded 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. In addition, Hollis serves on the NCAA Men’s Basketball Issues Committee and acts as chairperson for the NCAA Amateurism Cabinet. On the playing field in 2010-11, Michigan State had a recordsetting year, winning five Big Ten Championships – the most in department history. The football team won a school-record 11 games and claimed the program’s seventh Big Ten Championship en route to participating in the 2011 Capital One Bowl, which marked MSU’s fourth-straight bowl appearance and second in the last three seasons on New Year’s Day. The baseball team won its first Big Ten title since 1979, while the women’s cross country, women’s basketball and women’s golf teams also won conference championships. Overall, 12 sports participated in their respective team NCAA Championships, while individuals competed in four more NCAA Championships. In three-plus years with Hollis serving as the athletics director, Michigan State has proved to be one of the most successful athletic departments in the country, as the Spartans have already won 12 Big Ten Championships in addition to appearing in three bowl games and two Final Fours during his tenure. In 2009-10, MSU finished 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. One of Hollis’ major goals upon becoming athletics director was accomplished in 2010 when he unveiled the new brand and identity program for the athletics department. All of Michigan State’s uniforms now incorporate consistent use of colors, logos, lettering and numerals along with standardization for logos. 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 the spring of 2011, the athletic department posted the highest GPA in program history with a 3.0272; it marked the third time in the past four years the department has achieved a record GPA. The department also set another benchmark as 14 teams achieved a 3.0 or higher term GPA during the spring semester. Additionally, 238 student-athletes earned Academic All-Big Ten honors throughout the academic year. 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

204

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, 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 four consecutive bowl appearances for the program and a Big Ten Championship in 2010. He also provided major assistance in the hiring of women’s basketball coach Suzy Merchant in the spring of 2007, who led the Spartans to the Sweet 16 in 2009. Hollis’ first hire as athletics director arrived on July 2, 2008, when he tabbed Jake Boss Jr. to direct the Spartan baseball program; in just three seasons, Boss won a Big Ten title in 2011, the first for the program in 32 years. 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 the spring of 2009, the baseball program played its inaugural season in McLane Baseball Stadium following a $4 million donation to the 2,500-seat ballpark by former Houston Astros owner Drayton McLane Jr. This past year, with the help of a $1 million gift by alumnus Ambassador Peter F. Secchia – the largest cash (outright) gift received by an MSU women’s intercollegiate sports program – Secchia Stadium opened for the softball program in the spring of 2011, a 1,100-seat facility located at Old College Field. 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, special event fund-raising, sports information, ticket operations, spirit groups, broadcast services and corporate sponsorships. 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 10 years of sold-out football seasons and more than 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 then-world record attendance of 78,129 for a basketball game

between Michigan State and Kentucky at Detroit’s Ford Field; MSU earned net revenues of $1 million from the event. The concept of placing the court in the middle of the field in a domed stadium has been used by the NCAA at the past three Final Fours. 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. Another one of Hollis’ ideas will come to fruition on Nov. 11, 2011 – Veteran’s Day – when the Michigan State men’s basketball team takes on North Carolina in the “Carrier Classic” in San Diego, Calif. Hollis has been instrumental in the planning and implementation of the event, which will be the first NCAA basketball game to be played aboard an aircraft carrier. 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. 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 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 2.1 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. 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. 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

Spartan Stadium is in its 88th season as home to Michigan State football. Since its opening in 1923, Michigan State has won 69 percent of its games played in Spartan Stadium.

Spartan Stadium, which officially opened in 1923 at its current location, featured a natural grass playing surface until artificial turf was installed in 1969. The stadium returned to natural grass for the 2002 season. In 2005, the natural grass playing surface in Spartan Stadium earned Field of the Year honors from the Sports Turf Managers Association (STMA).

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.

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.

2010 Recap

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.

Coaching staff

Following the June 26, 2011, U2 “360º” concert, the entire playing surface in Spartan Stadium had to be replaced. The new playing surface, planted in April 2010 at Graff’s Turf Farms in Fort Morgan, Colo., is comprised of a blend of four varieties of Kentucky bluegrass. The installation of the new sod, transported to Spartan Stadium in 26 refrigerator trucks, took three days (July 12-15).

Michigan State has compiled a 327-142-13 record (.692) since taking up residency in Spartan Stadium (formerly Macklin Field) in 1923. With its 35-31 come-from-behind win over Purdue in the 2010 home finale, Michigan State completed its first-ever 7-0 home season and its first undefeated home season since going 6-0 in 1999. The Spartans have gone undefeated at home 17 times since the stadium opened in 1923. With its 49-14 victory over No. 4 Wisconsin in the 2004 home finale, Michigan State recorded its 300th win in Spartan Stadium.

2011 Spartans

Barton Malow/Clark served as the construction manager for the Spartan Stadium expansion project, with HNTB providing architectural services.

In 1998, Spartan Stadium celebrated its 75th anniversary plus it reached another milestone that season when it played host to its 400th game, a 29-5 MSU victory over Northwestern on Oct. 31.

2011 outlook

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.

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 154 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 55 seasons, including 19th in 2009, averaging 73,556 fans per game.

Spartan Records

Season-ticket sales have topped the 60,000 mark five times in Spartan football history, with an all-time record 61,479 season tickets purchased in 2000. A series of projects paralleling the Spartans’ rise to national football prominence enlarged the steel-and-concrete facility from its original 14,000 seats in 1923 to its present size in 1957. The first came in 1935, the year in which the stadium was officially named Macklin Field, boosting the capacity to 26,000. The 1948 enlargement raised the total to 51,000.

Spartan history

After 9,000 new seats upped the capacity to 60,000 in 1956, the upper decks were added to the east and west stands in 1957, bringing the capacity to 76,000. It also became Spartan Stadium that year. Renovations during the summer of 1994 improved sightlines and comfort for fans, while reducing the capacity to 72,027. On Oct. 6, 2001, Spartan Stadium added another chapter to its storied history as a worldrecord crowd of 74,554 attended the MSU-Michigan outdoor hockey game.

Bowl Championship Series THE BCS IS: The Bowl Championship Series (BCS) is a five-game showcase of college football. It is designed to ensure that the two top-rated 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.

will receive $6.1 million if it participates in a BCS game; its share will be $1.8 million if it does not. If Army, Navy or BYU becomes an automatic qualifier or is selected at-large, it will receive $6.1 million; if not selected, each will receive $100,000. Each NCAA Football Championship Subdivision conference will receive $250,000.

It has been undeniably successful in achieving those goals. Thanks to the BCS, the top two teams have played each other 13 times in 13 years by BCS measurements and 10 times in the last 13 according to the AP poll – including the last seven years in a row. Additionally, it has provided more access to the major bowls for all eleven conferences, more television exposure, and more postseason revenue than ever before.

Economic impact

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, Discover Orange Bowl, Rose Bowl Game presented by VIZIO, 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-12, 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 presidential oversight committee whose members represent all 120 FBS programs. The five BCS games are part of the overall bowl structure. All bowl games provide meaningful season-ending opportunities to teams. As one conference commissioner said, “The celebration that occurs among the student-athletes, coaching staff and fans at the end of each bowl games is an indication of the importance of all bowl games.” The BCS places great premium on the regular season of college football. “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.” 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. The 11 BCS conferences have a contract with ESPN to televise the games through the 2013-14 season.

BIG TEN BOWL SCHEDULE

The total economic impact in the host cities from the five BCS games in January 2010, was estimated at more than $1.2 billion. A word about a playoff 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.

The share an automatic qualifier from one of the five nonAQ conferences will be approximately $26.4 million. (Those conferences have elected to divide the revenue among themselves according to a formula they have devised.) If no team from the non-AQ conference participates, those conferences would receive approximately $22.3 million. Each conference whose team qualifies automatically for the BCS receives approximately $22.3 million in net revenue. The share of each team selected at-large by one of the bowls will be $6.1 million.
