Honors & awards

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

Big Ten NEtwork 2012 outlook

TOP TEN THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT BTN 1. BTN IS A NATIONAL NETWORK: All BTN events are televised to a national audience, with BTN available to more than 90 million homes in the US and Canada and 20 countries internationally.

2012 Spartans

2. EVENTS MORE THAN DOUBLED: BTN is planning to air more than 900 HD events across all platforms in the 2012-13, as well as original programming, studio shows and classic games. In 2007-08 (BTN’s first year), BTN aired more than 400 live events as well as studio shows, original programming, classic games and coaches’ shows.

Coaching staff

3. SEE EXTRA GAMES: BTN uses “Extra Football Game Channels” to televise BTN football games occurring at the same time so fans can see the game they most want to watch regardless of where they live. 4. TAKE BTN WITH YOU: BTN subscribers whose providers offer BTN2Go, the 24/7 BTN simulcast, can access BTN anywhere, anytime via tablets, smartphones, and PCs along with on-demand access to BTN’s deep archive of games and original programming and Extra Football Game Channels. 5. FULL DIGITAL ACCESS: Since launch, BTN has possessed the digital rights to all home events, and through the complete aggregation of each Big Ten university’s digital content, BTN launched the Big Ten Digital Network in 2011, streaming hundreds of live events that are not televised on BTN.

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.

2011 Recap

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

Spartan Records

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

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

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

Spartan history

9. WHO GETS BTN? MILLIONS OF FANS: BTN had virtually full distribution on expanded basic or equivalent level of service in its eight (now nine) Big Ten states by the start of the football season in 2008. (In terms of BTN’s largest providers, Comcast came on board in June 2008, with Time Warner, Mediacom and Charter launching the network in late August 2008.) BTN currently has agreements with more than 300 affiliates.

Honors & awards

10. LIVING BIG, GIVING BACK: BTNLive Big is a pro-social initiative that encourages Big Ten fans to act, serve and inspire through a television series that profiles alumni, students and supporters who are “living big” through their service to others. BTNLiveBig.com helps connect fans with causes they’re passionate about.

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

2012 Spartans

2012 outlook

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

QUARTERBACKS

the university

Bowl History

Honors & awards

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

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

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

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

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

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

TIGHT ENDS

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

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

2012 Spartans

WIDE RECEIVERS

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

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

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

2012 outlook

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

OFFENSIVE LINE

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

2012 Spartans

DEFENSIVE BACKS

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

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

East Lansing in 2007, a Spartan kicker or punter has earned All-Big Ten recognition six times, and MSU also has produced Big Ten leaders in kickoff returns and punt returns. In addition, MSU led the Big Ten last season with five blocked kicks and scored two touchdowns on special teams. For the third consecutive season, veteran Dan Conroy (5-10, 186, Sr.-5) will handle the placekicking duties. Conroy has made 82 percent of his field goals (32-for39) for his career, which ranks first in the Michigan State record book and eighth among active NCAA FBS players. After making 14-of-15 field goals to earn first-team All-Big Ten honors as a sophomore, Conroy connected on 17 field goals in 2011, tying for eighth most in a MSU season. Named to the preseason watch list for the Lou Groza Award, Conroy has kicked 11 of his 32 career field goals from at least 40 yards out. Kevin Muma (6-0, 195, Jr.) also returns for his third year as the starting kickoff specialist. Last season, Muma ranked among the FBS leaders in touchbacks (tied for 20th with 17) and kickoff average (33rd with 65.1 avg.). In addition, Muma will serve as the backup placekicker, behind Conroy. As a red-shirt freshman, Mike Sadler (6-0, 180, So.) demonstrated that he is one of the top punters in the nation in pinning opposing offenses deep in their own territory. The Big Ten All-Freshman selection tied for eighth in the FBS with 11 punts inside the 10-yard line, and tied for 12th with 25 punts inside the 20. Sadler earned Big Ten Freshman of the Week honors on two occasions, was named the Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week following his performance in the win over Minnesota, and tied a career high with four punts inside the 20 against Georgia in the Outback Bowl. At long snapper, returning letterwinner Steve Moore (6-3, 225, Jr.) will compete with incoming freshman Taybor Pepper (6-4, 185) in preseason camp for the starting position. Nick Hill (5-8, 190, So.) will be the main kickoff returner after he produced one of the best years statistically in Michigan State history. Hill’s 999 kick return yards were the second most in a MSU singleseason and eighth most in the Big Ten single-season record books, and he ranked fourth in the Big Ten with his 26.3-yard kickoff return average. He had five returns of 40-plus yards and 10 returns of 30-plus yards. Hill also will be looked to return punts this season with Keshawn Martin moving on to the NFL.

2012 outlook

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

2012 Spartans

2012 outlook

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

Now in his sixth year as the defensive line coach at Michigan State, Ted Gill has continued his career-long trend of developing productive and impactful players. Gill molded a young line in 2011 that featured only one senior to help the Spartans lead the Big Ten in rushing defense (100.5 yards per game), total defense (277.4 ypg.), sacks (45), tackles for loss (105) and third-down defense (.337). In addition, MSU ranked among the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision Top 20 in seven statistical categories, including total defense (sixth), sacks (seventh), rushing defense (ninth), scoring defense (10th) and tackles for loss (14th).

In June 2012, Barnett was one of eight football coaches to participate in the Champion Forum, the top tier of the NCAA’s coaching academy programs, held in conjunction with the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Convention in Dallas. Barnett mentored one of the top secondaries in the nation in 2011, as MSU led the Big Ten and ranked tied for 12th in the NCAA Football HARLON BARNETT Bowl Subdivision with 18 interceptions. MSU also ranked among the SECONDARY COACH FBS leaders in pass defense (11th with 176.9 ypg.) and pass efficiency sixth SEASON defense (18th with a 113.3 rating). In addition, the Spartans were second in the Big Ten in passes defended (60) and third in pass break-ups (42). For the second straight year, all four of MSU’s starters in the secondary garnered All-Big Ten recognition. Senior safety Trenton Robinson, a second-team all-conference selection in 2010, earned first-team honors from the media in 2011 after tying for second in the Big Ten with four interceptions. Junior cornerback Johnny Adams, also a second-team pick by the coaches as a sophomore, raised his game even more to garner first-team accolades. Adams led the team with nine passes defended (three interceptions, six pass break-ups) and ranked seventh in the FBS with 141 interception return yards. The Spartans returned four interceptions for touchdowns in 2011, including two by second-team All-Big Ten selection Isaiah Lewis, who also tied for second in the Big Ten with four picks. Lewis had a TD return of 37 yards against Central Michigan and sealed the win over Michigan with a 39-yard runback for a score in the fourth quarter.

The line was instrumental in stopping the run, as four teams (Florida Atlantic, Central Michigan, Ohio State, Georgia) posted their season lows in rushing against the Spartans. MSU, which also held seven opponents to under-100 yards rushing, finished in the top 30 nationally in rushing defense for the third time in the past five seasons (30th in 2007; 24th in 2009).

TED GILL DEFENSIVE LINE sixth SEASON

Junior defensive tackle Jerel Worthy earned consensus first-team All-America honors to become MSU’s first All-American at the position since 1971. Worthy, whose presence in the middle was one of the main factors for MSU’s stout defense, also earned first-team All-Big Ten accolades from the coaches and media. He was the second Spartan to be named an All-American under Gill (Jonal Saint-Dic: 2007). Worthy was selected in the second round of the 2012 National Football League Draft by the Green Bay Packers, becoming the second Spartan defensive lineman to be drafted during Gill’s tenure. Ervin Baldwin was a seventh-round draft choice by the Chicago Bears in 2008.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A native of Cincinnati, Barnett was a three-year starter for Coach George Perles at Michigan State. He was a member of the 1987 Big Ten and 1988 Rose Bowl championship team that went 9-2-1 overall and finished eighth in the final polls. Barnett, who also played in the 1989 Gator Bowl and the 1989 Aloha Bowl during his time as a Spartan player, earned first-team All-America recognition by The Sporting News as a senior in 1989. Following his impressive career at Michigan State, Barnett was taken in the fourth round of the 1990 NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns, where he played for three seasons (1990-92). He spent two seasons at New England (1993-94) and two more with Minnesota (1995-96). For Barnett’s complete bio, please visit msuspartans.com.

Spartan defensive linemen have garnered All-Big Ten recognition 10 times during Gill’s tenure. In addition, Ogemdi Nwagbuo, who Gill mentored in 2007, recently finished his third season playing in the NFL. Gill arrived in East Lansing with 32 years of coaching experience, including four seasons as the defensive line coach at Cincinnati (2003-06). For Gill’s complete bio, please visit msuspartans.com.

michigan state football

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

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

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

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

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

Cunningham (79 catches) and Martin (66) combined for 145 receptions in 2011, the most ever by a receiving duo in a Michigan State season (previous record: 124 by Charles Rogers [67] and Herb Haygood [57] in 2001). Cunningham (1,306 yards) and Martin (777) also produced the most receiving yards of any receiving duo in an MSU season, teaming up for 2,083 receiving yards in 2011 (previous record: Plaxico Burress [1,142] and Gari Scott [843] with 1,985 receiving yards in 1998). Both of those marks by Cunningham and Martin (145 receptions; 2,083 receiving yards) ranked first among receiving duos in the Big Ten in 2011. Martin was selected in the fourth round of the 2012 National Football League Draft by the Houston Texas, while Cunningham was picked in the sixth round by the Miami Dolphins.

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

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

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

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

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

Salem shares his love of coaching football with his father Joe, former head coach at South Dakota (196674), Northern Arizona (1975-78) and Minnesota (1979-83); as well as his older brother Tim, running backs coach and special teams coordinator at Illinois; and his twin brother Brent, offensive coordinator at O’Gorman High School.

2011 Recap

Baker wasn’t the only one making noise in the backfield in 2010. Bell exploded onto the scene in the first half of the season, collecting 549 yards and eight rushing touchdowns, including a 141-yard effort in the season opener against Western Michigan, the most rushing yards ever by a Spartan in their collegiate debut.

2012 Spartans

2012 outlook

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

MARK STATEN Offensive Line sixth SEASON

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

Fifth-year senior Joel Foreman, who anchored the line from left guard, garnered first-team All-Big Ten honors by the coaches and media to become MSU’s first All-Big Ten first-team selection on the offensive line since 2004. Foreman also received national recognition, getting named on All-America teams by Yahoo! Sports (second team), Phil Steele (third team) and SI.com (honorable mention). He started more games (49) on the offensive line than any other Spartan in school history and tied the school record for most starts at any position. A starter at right guard every game the past two seasons, right guard Chris McDonald earned honorable mention All-Big Ten accolades by the media. Center Travis Jackson started 10 of the last 11 games at center after missing the first three games with an ankle injury and went on to earn Freshman All-America honors from Phil Steele (first team) and CollegeFootballNews.com (second team). He was also named to the Big Ten All-Freshman Team by ESPN.com, Yahoo! Sports and BTN.com. Staten was instrumental in Dan France’s successful move from the defensive line to starting left tackle and Fou Fonoti’s transition from junior college to starting right tackle. Both were first-time starters on the offensive line last season for the Spartans. As tight ends/tackles coach, Staten’s players collected All-Big Ten honors on seven occasions, including second-team tackle Pete Clifford (2007), second-team tackle Jesse Miller (2008), second-team tight end Charlie Gantt (2010) and second-team tackle D.J. Young (2010). In addition, Staten also helped Kellen Davis have his most productive year as a Spartan in 2007. Davis, a fifth-round NFL Draft pick by the Chicago Bears, recorded career highs in receptions (32), receiving yards (513) and touchdowns (6) as a senior, and has played four seasons with the Bears.

Spartan history

The Spartans had a tight end earn postseason recognition from the Big Ten all four years under Staten, and three of those years a tackle on the offensive line garnered all-conference honors. As recruiting coordinator, Staten helped put together a 2009 recruiting class that analysts ranked among the nation’s Top 25 (MaxPreps/Tom Lemming No. 12, PrepStar No. 15, Rivals.com No. 17 and Scouts, Inc. No. 21). The Spartans followed that effort with another stellar class in 2010 that was ranked among the nation’s Top 30 (MaxPreps/Tom Lemming No. 22, Rivals.com No. 29). Following the 2006 regular season, Staten was one of eight assistant coaches to follow head coach Mark Dantonio from Cincinnati to East Lansing. In 2006, Staten tutored team MVP Brent Celek, who set Cincinnati career records for receptions (88), receiving yards (1,114) and TDs (14) by a tight end. Celek, a second-team All-BIG EAST selection as a senior, was chosen by Philadelphia in the fifth round of the 2007 NFL Draft and is currently in his sixth season playing for the Eagles.

The impressive play of the linebacking unit was one of the main reasons why Michigan State led the Big Ten in rushing defense (100.5 yards per game) and total defense (277.4 ypg.) in 2011. For the first time since 1990, all three of MSU’s starting linebackers garnered All-Big Ten honors. Sophomore Denicos Allen, who ranked second in the Big Ten in sacks with 11.0 and fourth in tackles for loss with 18.5, was named second-team all-conference by the media. Sophomore middle linebacker Max MIKE TRESSEL Bullough picked up second-team accolades from the coaches LINEBACKERS/SPECIAL TEAMS after leading the Spartans with 89 tackles and junior Chris sixth SEASON Norman was named honorable mention after recording career highs in tackles (76) and tackles for loss (6.5). Tressel also oversees a successful special teams unit that has been one of the best in the Big Ten since his arrival. Junior placekicker Dan Conroy, a first-team All-Big Ten honoree in 2010, was an honorable mention choice in 2011, as he ranked third in the league with 17 field goals and fourth in kick scoring with 7.1 points per game. Punter Mike Sadler ranked among the nation’s leaders in punts inside the 10 (ninth with 10) and punts inside the 20 (tied for 12th with 25) and was named a Freshman All-American by Phil Steele (third team) and CollegeFootballNews.com (honorable mention). On the return teams, senior Keshawn Martin ranked second in the Big Ten and 18th in the FBS in punt returns (11.0 avg.), while Nick Hill’s 999 kick return yards were second most in an MSU single-season. In his role as linebackers coach, Tressel mentored Greg Jones and Eric Gordon from 2007-10, two of the top linebackers in the nation who combined for 796 tackles in their careers. A back-to-back consensus first-team All-American, Jones became just the seventh player in program history to receive first-team All-Big Ten honors three times.

1903-10 / 1917 / 1919 MSU Record: 58-23-7 This Owosso, Mich., native revolutionized MAC’s football program during his first of three stints as Aggie coach. Chester Brewer was a four-sport star at Wisconsin, earning All-Western honors in football. A defensive genius, Aggie teams posted shutouts in 49 of the 88 games Brewer coached. His greatest efforts included a 0-0 tie against Fielding Yost’s 1908 Michigan team and a 17-0 shutout over Notre Dame in 1910. Brewer, who later coached at Missouri, died in 1953 at age 77.

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. Head Coach: John Macklin Oct. 7 W 12-0 Oct. 14 L 3-15 Oct. 28 W 29-3 Nov. 4 W 6-0 Nov. 11 W 26-6 W 17-6 Nov. 30

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

1929-32 MSU Record: 22-8-3 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. 1929 | 5-3

1923-27 MSU Record: 18-22-1 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.

1928 MSU Record: 3-4-1 Michigan football All-American Harry Kipke directed the Spartans for only one season. A Lansing (Mich.) High School graduate, he began his coaching career with a 103-0 victory over Kalamazoo College, but highlights after that were few and far between. Kipke nearly directed State to an upset victory over his alma mater, and that performance probably enticed Michigan to hire him as its coach the very next season. He died in 1972 at the age of 73.

2011 Recap

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.

1947-53 MSU Record: 54-9-2 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. 1947 | 7-2

Hugh Duffy Daugherty

1954-72 MSU Record: 109-69-5 One of the most popular coaches in the history of college football was Michigan State’s personable Duffy Daugherty. An undergraduate star for Syracuse, he was a member of Biggie Munn’s staff there in 1946 when State hired Munn. Daugherty served initially as line coach at MSU, tutoring such Spartan standouts as Don Coleman and Frank Kush. Then, following State’s 1954 Rose Bowl victory over UCLA, Munn stepped in as athletic director and named Duffy as head coach. Daugherty’s ’55 club went 9-1 and received the Big Ten’s Rose Bowl bid, defeating UCLA, 17-14. His greatest teams, though, came in 1965 and ’66 when those two star-studded squads posted a cumulative record of 19-1-1 and two Big Ten championships. The only loss was a 14-12 defeat at the hands of UCLA in the 1966 Rose Bowl and the lone tie was the monumental 10-10 “Game of the Century” vs. Notre Dame in ’66. Duffy’s 1965 Spartans were a defensive juggernaut and won the No. 1 ranking in the final UPI poll. During Duffy’s 19 seasons at MSU, 29 different players earned first-team All-America honors. The list included such stars as Earl Morrall, Sherman Lewis, George Webster, Clinton Jones, Gene Washington, Bubba Smith, Brad Van Pelt and Billy Joe DuPree. Daugherty’s individual honors included National Coach of the Year laurels in both 1955 and ’65, and induction into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1984. Duffy died in 1987 at the age of 72, in Santa Barbara, Calif. 1954 | 3-6, 1-5 (t-8th)

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

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.

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. 1995 | 6-5-1, 4-3-1 (5th)

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.

Bowl History

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.

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).

The Spartans have won 22 of their last 27 games, dating back to the beginning of the 2010 season, including a 14-2 record in Big Ten regular-season play. In 2011, the Spartans won the Big Ten Legends Division title outright, played in the inaugural Big Ten Championship Game and posted a perfect 7-0 record in Spartan Stadium for the second year in a row. MSU’s 11 wins tied the school single-season record, as the Spartans became bowl eligible for a school-record fifth consecutive year. Thanks to its 33-30 victory over Georgia in the 2012 Outback Bowl, Michigan State (113) moved up No. 10 in the final USA TODAY Coaches Poll. In 2010, he was selected Big Ten Coach of the Year after leading Michigan State to a school-record 11 wins and a share of its first conference championship in 20 years. Dantonio compiled an 18-17 record (.514) in three seasons at Cincinnati, including two postseason bowl appearances. Prior to accepting his first head coaching position at Cincinnati, Dantonio spent three years as defensive coordinator under Jim Tressel at Ohio State (2001-03) where he helped the Buckeyes to a combined record of 32-6 (.842), including the 2002 National Championship. He previously spent six seasons as secondary coach at Michigan State (1995-2000), including five years under Nick Saban and one under Bobby Williams. 2007 | 7-6, 3-5 (t-7th)

Old Brass Spittoon

Paul Bunyan Trophy

Since 1953, the winner of the Michigan StateMichigan game has been presented the Paul Bunyan Trophy. The four-foot wooden statue was donated by then-Governor G. Mennen Williams to mark Michigan State’s acceptance into the Big Ten. Since ’53, Michigan leads the series 34-23-2. The trophy depicts the legendary giant lumberjack astride an axe with feet planted on a map of the state with flags representing the schools.

Megaphone Trophy

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

michigan state football

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

Land-Grant Trophy

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

MSU Record Breakdown

134

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

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).

ed bagdon #65 g | 5-10 | 200 Dearborn, MIch.

Leroy bolden #39 hb | 5-7 | 163 Flint, MIch.

Flozell Adams captured first-team AllAmerica recognition as picked by the Walter Camp Foundation as a senior in 1997. The ’97 Big Ten Offensive Lineman of the Year, Adams started all 12 games at left tackle and helped the Spartans to a No. 24 spot nationally in rushing offense (199.5 ypg.). He also opened holes for MSU running backs who tallied 100 or more yards seven times during the season. At 6-foot-7, 330 pounds, Adams allowed only two sacks and recorded 37 pancakes. He was drafted in the second round by the Dallas Cowboys in the 1998 NFL Draft.

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.

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).

Eric Allen #24 tb | 5-9 | 161 Georgetown, S.C. 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. morten andersen #8 PK | 6-2 | 195 Streur, Denmark Morten Andersen was an All-America honoree his senior year in 1981 as chosen by The Sporting News, United Press and the Walter Camp Foundation. He was MSU’s leading scorer with 73 points on 28 PATs and 15 field goals (20 att.). He set a school and Big Ten record when he drilled a 63-yard field goal against Ohio State. In addition, opponents returned just 17 of his 56 kickoffs. Andersen closed out his college career ranked No. 1 on the MSU and Big Ten lists in field goals with 45 while holding down the top spot on the school’s all-time chart in PATs (126) and total points (261). He recorded seven field goals of 50 or more yards and three others of 49 yards. Picked by the New Orleans Saints in the fourth round of the 1982 NFL Draft. bob aPISa #45 Fb | 6-1 | 212 Honolulu, Hawaii Bob Apisa was an All-America selection as a sophomore in 1965 by Football News and his junior year in 1966 by Football News and the New York News. In ’65, despite missing most of the last three games due to a knee injury, he rushed for 666 yards, then the best seasonal mark turned in by a Spartan fullback, along with nine TDs. In 1966, Apisa once again was hampered by knee problems, but rushed for 445 yards and eight six-pointers. His careerhigh 140 yards on the ground against Michigan in a 20-7 victory earned him UPI Back of the Week honors. He finished his career as MSU’s most prolific rushing fullback with 1,343 yards in 262 attempts. A ninth-round pick of the Green Bay Packers in the ’68 NFL Draft.

carl banks #54 olb | 6-6 | 235 Flint, MIch. 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. harlon barnett #36 cb | 6-0 | 192 Cincinnati, OHio 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. Dave Behrman #51 og | 6-4 | 265 Dowagiac, MIch. Dave Behrman was an All-America pick as a junior in 1961 as selected by the Associated Press and Football Writers Association and his senior year by CBSTV. Nicknamed “The Big Bear,” the 6-foot-4, 265-pounder dominated opponents with his strength. He ranked No. 2 on the club in minutes in 1961 and logged 297 minutes as a senior when he concentrated on his center position. His versatility enabled him to play tackle, guard and center during his career. Drafted in the first round by both the Buffalo Bills and the Chicago Bears, he played for the Bills from 1963-67.

mark brammer #91 te | 6-4 | 225 Traverse City, MIch. Mark Brammer landed All-America honors as a junior in 1978 as selected by the Football Writers Association, the only Big Ten gridder to earn that distinction that season. He grabbed 33 aerials for 360 yards and two TDs in ’78, and was a key part of MSU’s most productive offense ever—ranking No. 1 in the Big Ten in passing, scoring (No. 3 nationally at 37.4 ppg.) and total offense (No. 3 nationally at 481.3 ypg.). Started every game from his sophomore through senior years. Finished his career No. 3 on the school’s all-time receptions list with 107. Picked by the Buffalo Bills in the third round of the 1980 NFL Draft. art brandstatter #31 fb | 5-11 | 175 Ecorse, MIch. Art Brandstatter drew All-America acclaim as a senior in 1936 as selected by the All-American Board. Brandstatter was part of a Michigan State program that compiled a 20-4-2 record during his varsity career. He was selected to the 1961 Silver Anniversary All-America Team by Sports Illustrated. One of his great moments took place in 1935 when a 59-yard run in the fourth quarter against highly-ranked Temple set up the winning TD in a 12-7 decision. Allen brenner #86 db | 6-1 | 194 Niles, MIch. Allen Brenner, one of college football’s most talented two-way players in the late 1960s, earned three letters at Michigan State from 1966-68, while playing wide receiver and safety for legendary head coach Duffy Daugherty. As a senior in 1968, Brenner earned First-Team All-America honors from the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) and Newspaper Enterprise Association (NEA). In addition, he was a unanimous first-team AllBig Ten selection as a defensive back by The Associated Press and United Press International and a second-team all-conference pick on offense as an end by UPI. Brenner ranked fifth on the Spartans in tackles with 63 (31 solos, 32 assists), including a team-leading eight TD-saving stops. He also intercepted two passes.

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.

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).

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.

Facing a 20-10 fourth-quarter deficit at Ohio State, Dorow threw a 3-yard TD pass to Paul Ekker and scored on a 28-yard reception from Tom Yewcic on a fourth-and-6 play as the Spartans rallied to record their ninth-straight win, 24-20. He earned United Press International’s Midwest Back of the Week honors after completing 11-of-17 passes for 112 yards and two TDs in MSU’s shutout win over Notre Dame.

frank kush #60 g | 5-9 | 180 Windber, PA. An anchor on MSU’s defensive line during its national championship season of 1952, Frank Kush was an All-America pick as a senior by the Associated Press, Look Magazine, New York News, Fox Movietone, Athletic Publications and All-Catholic. He started the ’52 season on the offensive line, but close calls in the first two games of the year prompted the Spartan coaching staff to move Kush back to his middle guard post. Combining excellent quickness and sound technique, he often disrupted opponent plays before they even got started. In a key game vs. Purdue, he recovered a fumble while his play helped limit the Boilermakers to just 31 rushing yards. He enjoyed a successful stint as head coach at Arizona State (1958-79) before coaching in the Canadian and National Football Leagues. He was inducted into the National Football Foundation College Hall of Fame in 1995. earl latTimer #76 g | 5-11 | 218 Dallas, Texas Earl Lattimer was an All-America choice as a senior in 1963 as picked by the New York News.

Lattimer added to MSU’s scoring punch by booting three field goals including a then school-record 47-yarder on his first-ever attempt in a game vs. Northwestern. A crowd favorite, he often turned a somersault when running up to his spot on the offensive line. He was drafted by the Buffalo Bills in 1964. sherm lewis #20 hb | 5-9 | 154 Louisville, ky. Sherm Lewis captured All-America status as a senior in 1963 as picked by the Associated Press, United Press, Central Press, Football Writers Association and the New York News. Lewis rushed for 577 yards on 90 carries and was the squad’s leading receiver with 11 catches for 303 yards (27.5 avg.). Lewis was on the receiving end of what were then the longest two pass plays in Spartan history, an 88-yarder vs. Southern Cal and an 87-yard strike vs. Wisconsin (those rank 2-3 presently). In a game vs. Northwestern, he sprinted 87 yards for a TD, then the third-longest run in MSU history, and returned four punts 103 yards, earning him UPI’s Midwest Back of the Week honors. Named the team’s MVP in ’63, he finished third in the Heisman Trophy voting, making him just one of two MSU players ever to finish that high in the balloting. Lewis closed out his career No. 5 on the school’s career rushing list with 1,566 yards, No. 3 in total TDs (23) and third in total points (144) Dean look #24 qb | 5-10 | 175 Lansing, MIch.

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

UPI’s Backfield of the Week three times for his efforts in contests vs. Notre Dame (first career start at QB), Purdue and Northwestern. Against the Wildcats, Look established a conference record for completion percentage by connecting on all seven of his attempts. He finished the year by completing 49 of 100 passes for 785 yards and nine TDs. MSU’s leading punter in ’58 and ’59, he was named the team’s MVP his senior year. A first-round pick of the Denver Broncos of the AFL, Look opted to sign a contract to play baseball with the Chicago White Sox. Harold Lucas #51 MG | 6-2 | 286 Detroit, MIch. Harold Lucas landed All-America recognition as a senior in 1965 as picked by the Newspaper Enterprise Association. From his middle guard position, he helped the Spartans limit Big Ten foes to an average of just 34.6 rushing yards while leading the nation in rushing defense, allowing 45.6 yards per game. Lucas, who at the time was deemed the heaviest player ever to suit up for MSU at 286 pounds, was named Lineman of the Week twice, the first time by UPI following his effort against Ohio State and the second by AP after the Notre Dame game.

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.” norm masters #57 t | 6-2 | 225 Detroit, MIch. A consensus All-American in 1955, Norm Masters was chosen by United Press, Look Magazine, International News Service, Newspaper Enterprise Association, NBC-TV, Central Press and Fox Movietone. His hard-hitting tackles earned him the nickname “Stormin’ Norman.” Masters was a big reason that the Spartans allowed just 7.7 points per game, still fourth on the school’s season list. He was voted the recipient of the game ball against Stanford following a 38-14 win. Drafted in the second round by the Chicago Cardinals, he played for the Green Bay Packers from 1957-64.

One of his biggest plays came vs. Michigan when he rambled 70 yards for a score just after the underdog Wolverines had taken a 13-0 lead. The run was the turning point in a 27-13 MSU win. The recipient of the Walter Camp Trophy in ’52, he closed out his career with 1,180 yards on the ground and 20 total TDs, then No. 2 on the school’s all-time list. blake miller e | 160 Tonawanda, N.Y.

He gained 83 of his 115 yards in the second half. ralf mojsiejenko #2 p | 6-3 | 198 Bridgman, MIch. Ralf Mojsiejenko earned All-America distinction as a junior in 1983 as picked by The Sporting News. One of MSU’s most dangerous weapons, he averaged 43.9 yards on 74 punts to rank fifth nationally. Included in his totals were career-high 71-yard punts vs. Notre Dame and Wisconsin. While he gained acclaim as a punter, he was a long-range threat when it came to field goals and boomed a 59-yarder (then tying the third-longest effort in Big Ten history) on the last play of the game that gave the Spartans a 29-29 tie at Purdue. In Big Ten performances, he produced a conference-leading 42.9 yards per punt. He still holds the school record in career punts with 279 and his average of 43.8 yards is No. 2 on the MSU all-time ladder. Chosen in the fourth round of the ’85 NFL Draft by San Diego. greg montgomery #23 p | 6-4 | 210 Shrewsbury, N.J.

A three-year starter, he and his identical twin brother, Rich, earned Academic All-America honors, the first brother combo ever to achieve that distinction in the same year. Selected in the fifth round by the Houston Oilers in the 1970 NFL Draft, Saul went on to enjoy a 13-year professional career. scott shaw #73 og | 6-4 | 297 Sterling Heights, MIch.

Retired Jersey Numbers/ Ring of Fame

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

of 54-9-2 (.846). During his tenure, the Spartans won backto-back National Championships in 1951 and 1952, rattled off a school-record 28-game winning streak, and won the 1953 Big Ten Co-Championship in the school’s inaugural season in the conference. He capped off his illustrious career with a 28-20 victory over fifth-ranked UCLA in the 1954 Rose Bowl. Over his final four seasons, Munn compiled a 35-2 record (.946), including four consecutive Top 10 finishes in the final Associated Press and United Press International Polls from 1950-53. He was named National Coach of the Year by the American Football Coaches Association in 1952 after leading Michigan State to a perfect 9-0 record and the consensus National Championship. Munn, who produced 18 first-team All-Americans, became the only coach to beat Notre Dame’s Frank Leahy three years in a row (1950-52). He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1959. In 19 seasons as Michigan State’s head coach (1954-72), Daugherty posted a 109-69-5 record (.609) and led the Spartans to four National Championships (1955, 1957, 1965 and 1966). He guided Michigan State to a combined record of 19-1-1 in 1965-66, as the Spartans won back-to-back Big Ten and National Championships. Seven of his teams ranked among the nation’s Top 20, including six Top 10 finishes. A two-time National Coach of the Year (1955 and 1965), Daugherty was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1984.

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. Scoring Summary Second Quarter AU – Ralph O’Gwynne 1 run (kick failed).

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.

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.

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.

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. Enos connected on 9-of-17 throws for 131 yards, including eight-straight completions during one stretch. scoring summary First Quarter USC – Gary Wellman 7 pass from Todd Marinovich (Quin Rodriguez kick), 0:54 left.

Jeff Brohm completed 19-of-29 passes for 197 yards and a touchdown to lead Louisville to an 18-7 win over Michigan State in the 1993 Liberty Bowl. Michigan State’s only touchdown came on the game’s first series.

Midway through the second quarter, the Spartans missed out on a scoring chance when Bill Stoyanovich misfired on a 31-yard field-goal attempt. Louisville put together a 14-play, 74-yard drive in the third quarter, but failed to put points on the scoreboard as Akers missed a 23-yard field-goal try. Brohm directed a seven-play, 59-yard drive for the go-ahead score early in the fourth quarter, hitting Reggie Ferguson on a crossing pattern for a 25-yard TD pass. A 24-yard interception return by Darius Watson gave Louisville the ball back at the MSU 33 but seven plays later, the Spartan defense stopped Anthony Shelman short of the goal line on fourth-and-1.

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.

Dan Conroy converted a 28-yard field goal in the third overtime and Anthony Rashad White blocked Blair Walsh’s 47-yard field-goal attempt to give No. 12 Michigan State a 33-30 victory over No. 18 Georgia in the 2012 Outback Bowl. The Spartans rallied from a 16-0 halftime deficit to snap a fivegame bowl losing streak. Georgia jumped out to a 16-0 lead as Brandon Boykin tackled Keshawn Martin for a 2-yard loss and a safety on MSU’s first play from scrimmage, Aaron Murray hit Tavarres King for an 80-yard touchdown, and Boykin returned a punt 92 yards for a touchdown. The Spartan defense helped set the tone in the second half, as Georgia’s first possession ended with Darqueze Dennard’s interception at the Bulldog 48. Nine plays later, Le’Veon Bell scored on an 8-yard run around right end, and with Kirk Cousins’ 2-point pass to Brian Linthicum, the Spartans had cut Georgia’s lead in half at 16-8. Late in the third quarter, Dennard returned his second interception 38 yards for a touchdown as MSU pulled to within 16-14. Trailing 19-14 early in the fourth quarter, Cousins’ 50-yard completion to Linthicum set up his 7-yard TD strike to Keith Nichol on a third-andgoal play. The Bulldogs responded with a five-play, 81-yard drive to take a 27-20 lead on Murray’s 13-yard TD toss to Boykin. Down seven with 1:55 remaining and no timeouts, Cousins engineered a 10-play, 85-yard drive, as the Spartans rallied to send the game into overtime on Bell’s 1-yard TD run with 14 seconds left in regulation. Cousins accounted for 84 of MSU’s 85 yards on the scoring drive, connecting on 6-of-8 passes for 64 yards and scrambling for another 20 yards. After a scoreless first overtime, the teams traded field goals in the second overtime.

Lou Anna K. Simon, Ph.D. President Michigan State University

Lou Anna K. Simon was appointed the 20th president of Michigan State University by the MSU Board of Trustees in January 2005. An MSU graduate, she began her career at Michigan State as the assistant director of the Office of Institutional Research (now Office of Planning and Budgets) after earning her Ph.D. in 1974. From there, she moved into a variety of administrative roles, including assistant provost for general academic administration, associate provost, and provost and vice president for academic affairs; she served as interim president in 2003. As president, Simon has engaged Michigan State University in a strategic and transformative journey to adapt the principles of the land-grant tradition to twenty-first century challenges. She has expanded MSU’s reach in the state and around the world by focusing the university’s strengths on solutions that enhance and protect quality of life: clean and affordable energy, access to education, safe and plentiful food, and health care. She recently outlined these commitments and the philosophy driving them in her monograph Embracing the World Grant Ideal: Affirming the Morrill Act for a Twenty-first-century Global Society. Simon’s key initiatives, particularly in economic development and international engagement, reflect her commitment to applying knowledge to benefit society and further the global common good. Simon is a member of the Council on Competitiveness, a nonpartisan, nongovernmental

organization working to ensure U.S. prosperity, and serves on the Blue Ribbon Panel on Global Engagement of the American Council on Education (ACE). She serves on the National Higher Education Security Advisory Board, a group of presidents and chancellors of several prominent U.S. universities that consults regularly with national agencies responsible for security, intelligence, and law enforcement, and has been named the board’s next chairperson. Simon’s resolute commitment to advancing Michigan’s economic future has been a hallmark of her presidency. She serves on the board of directors of Prima Civitas, midMichigan’s economic development foundation; Business Leaders for Michigan; and the Detroit Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. In the area of international engagement, Simon is a member of the executive committee of the Partnership to Cut Hunger and Poverty in Africa. Research at Michigan State University reflects Simon’s commitment to advancing knowledge and improving quality of life in the world. Under her leadership, MSU has expanded its research in, among other areas, biofuels and green energy; medicine and medical technology; physics and rare isotopes; safe water; and agriculture to address world hunger. Through nearly $500 million annually in externally sponsored research, Simon is ensuring that Michigan State University makes a significant difference in the region, state, nation, and world.

michigan state football

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

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.

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

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

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.

the university

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

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

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.

Bowl History

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

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

Honors & awards

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

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

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

Spartan history

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

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

Spartan Records

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

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

2011 Recap

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

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

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

Coaching staff

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

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

Spartan Stadium

206

Spartan Stadium is in its 89th season as home to Michigan State football. Since its opening in 1923, Michigan State has won 69 percent of its games played in Spartan Stadium.

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 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.

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.

Barton Malow/Clark served as the construction manager for the Spartan Stadium expansion project, with HNTB providing architectural services. Prior to the 2012 season, new high-def Panasonic video screens and scoreboards as well as a new sound system were installed in Spartan Stadium. The new scoreboard/video screen in the south end zone is 5,300-square feet, compared to its predecessor that measured just 567-square feet (installed in 1998). The top of the new south end zone structure will reach 130 feet. In addition, two new video boards as well as an LED ribbon board has been added to the north end zone. The LED ribbon board covers 4,500 square feet (450-feet long and 10-feet high). Combined the south and north video screens/scoreboards total 13,300-square feet. The $10 million project replaces a 14-year-old scoreboard, message board and audio system.

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. In 1998, Spartan Stadium celebrated its 75th anniversary plus it reached another milestone that season when it played host to its 400th game, a 29-5 MSU victory over Northwestern on Oct. 31. Michigan State has compiled a 334-142-13 record (.696) since taking up residency in Spartan Stadium (formerly Macklin Field) in 1923. MSU’s current 14-game home winning streak is the fifth longest in school history. The Spartans have gone undefeated at home 18 times since the stadium opened in 1923. With its 49-14 victory over No. 4 Wisconsin in the 2004 home finale, Michigan State recorded its 300th win in Spartan Stadium. In addition, Michigan State has suffered only one home loss during a season 28 times. Only nine times in the history of the stadium have the Spartans experienced a losing record at home. Michigan State’s longest home winning streak is 19 games from Oct. 14, 1950, through Nov. 21, 1953.

Following the June 26, 2011, U2 “360º” concert, the entire playing surface in Spartan Stadium had to be replaced. The new playing surface, planted in April 2010 at Graff’s Turf Farms in Fort Morgan, Colo., is comprised of a blend of four varieties of Kentucky bluegrass. The installation of the new sod, transported to Spartan Stadium in 26 refrigerator trucks, took three days (July 12-15). Spartan Stadium, which officially opened in 1923 at its current location, featured a natural grass playing surface until artificial turf was installed in 1969. The stadium returned to natural grass for the 2002 season. In 2005, the natural grass playing surface in Spartan Stadium earned Field of the Year honors from the Sports Turf Managers Association (STMA). Prior to the 2002 season, ESPN.com’s Mel Kiper Jr. ranked Spartan Stadium No. 8 on his list of the nation’s most scenic venues. Natural grass returned to Spartan Stadium in 2002 after a 33-year absence, with the installation of a modular field. The new playing surface, planted in May of 2001 at MSU’s Hancock Turfgrass Research Center, was comprised of a blend of nine varieties of Kentucky bluegrass. The original switch from natural grass to artificial turf came in time for the 1969 season. Since 1957, capacity crowds have attended 157 games in Spartan Stadium, including the single-game record 80,401 fans who witnessed MSU’s 20-19 loss to top-ranked Notre Dame on Sept. 22, 1990. The Spartans have ranked among the NCAA’s top 25 in attendance each of the last 56 seasons, including 20th in 2011, averaging 74,078 fans per game. Season-ticket sales have topped the 60,000 mark five times in Spartan football history, with an all-time record 61,479 season tickets purchased in 2000. A series of projects paralleling the Spartans’ rise to national football prominence enlarged the steel-and-concrete facility from its original 14,000 seats in 1923 to its present size in 1957.

Bowl Championship Series

208

Playoff Coming in 2014-15 On June 26, 2012, the BCS Presidential Oversight Committee agreed to launch a four-team playoff beginning with the 2014-15 season. The new format will continue at least 12 years, through the 2025-26 season. The semifinals will be rotated among six bowl games and will be played either New Year’s Eve or New Year’s Day. The championship game, to be managed by the 11 conferences and rotated among neutral sites every year, will be played on a Monday at least six days after the last semifinal game. The BCS At A Glance • The BCS is popular. The BCS National Championship Game usually trails only the Super Bowl in terms of television ratings for sporting events in the United States. •

•

The BCS delivers the most meaningful regular season in sports. The BCS plays an important role in preserving and enhancing college football’s unique regular season where every game counts. The BCS maintains the bowl tradition. The BCS delivers the championship game while continuing the excitement and pageantry of the bowl games for student-athletes and fans.

The BCS In Depth The 2012-13 season will be the 15th year for the BCS, which is a five-game arrangement that is designed to match the two top-rated teams in a national championship game and to create exciting and competitive match-ups among eight other highly regarded teams in four other bowl games. It enhances the importance of the regular season and maintains the bowl system for the benefit of the game. It has been undeniably successful in achieving those goals; college football has never been more popular, and the BCS is a significant reason for that. Additionally, it has provided more access to the major bowls, more television exposure, and more post-season revenue than ever before. The five bowl games are the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, the Discover Orange Bowl, the Rose Bowl Game Presented by VIZIO, the Allstate Sugar Bowl, and the BCS National Championship Game that is played at one of the bowl sites. The 2013 Discover BCS National Championship Game will be played at the Sun Life Stadium in Miami. The BCS is not an entity. Instead, it is an event managed by the 11 NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision conferences, all of them “BCS Conferences,” and the indepedent institutions through a series of contracts among bowls and television networks. The conferences are the Atlantic Coast, Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, Conference USA, Mid-American, Mountain West, Sun Belt, Pacific-12, Southeastern, and Western Athletic. The conference commissioners, representing their constituents, and the Notre Dame athletics director, representing independent institutions, make decisions regarding all BCS matters, in consultation with an athletics directors advisory group and subject to the approval of a presidential oversight committee whose members represent all 120 FBS (formerly Division I-A) programs.

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