2012 RECAP SPARTAN RECORDS
Former Michigan State All-Big Ten center Jason Strayhorn begins his eighth season with the Spartan Sports Network and his first as an analyst. Strayhorn previously worked as the sideline reporter for SSN for seven seasons. 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 2013 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.
2013 SPARTANS
2. EVENTS MORE THAN DOUBLED: BTN is planning to air more than 900 HD events across all platforms in the 2013-14, 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.
2012 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.
HONORING LEGENDS. BUILDING LEADERS.
The mission of the Big Ten Conference has always been to excel athletically without compromising the priority our member institutions assign to their academic standards and to their commitment to student academic success. We seek to celebrate the many accomplishments of Big Ten student-athletes while continuously reinforcing each of our member institutions’ high academic standards. Striking that important balance between academics and athletics is integral to the Big Ten’s identity, and that philosophy led to the genesis of the new football division names. Both names link directly to the Big Ten mission.
A respectful acknowledgement of the 18 Heisman Trophy winners and 220 College Football Hall of Famers that have graced our fields and sidelines for the past 116 years.
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.

2013 OUTLOOK
The past six seasons, Michigan State head coach Mark Dantonio has taken the Spartan football program to new heights. MSU has won more Big Ten games (27) than any other conference team since 2008, including a share of the Big Ten Championship in 2010 and the Big Ten Legends Division title in 2011. The Spartans have also appeared in a school-record six consecutive bowl games and their 29 wins the last three years is the winningest stretch in school history and ties for 13th most among NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision teams during that same period. Although MSU has achieved a remarkable amount of success under Dantonio, the Spartans fell victim to several close losses in 2012 during a 7-6 campaign, losing five Big Ten games by a total of 13 points, including two in the last 10 seconds of the game and one in double overtime. But the Spartans turned a corner in the postseason, rallying for a last-minute victory over TCU in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl – their secondstraight bowl win following a dramatic triple overtime win against Georgia in the 2012 Outback Bowl – and are looking to ride the momentum that closed 2012 into the upcoming season. With 50 letterwinners and 16 starters returning, the pieces are in place for another Big Ten Championship run and a shot at the Rose Bowl, a destination that has eluded the Spartans for 25 years. The Spartans welcome back seven starters and 11 players with starting experience on defense, which under the direction of assistant head coach/defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi, has developed into one of the most elite in the nation. MSU is one of just three schools, along with Alabama and Florida State, to rank among the NCAA FBS Top 10 in total defense, rushing defense and scoring defense the past two seasons. On the offensive side of the ball, Michigan State returns nine starters from last season’s youthful group that featured just one starting senior. The Spartans will be relying on several players that gained valuable experience in 2012 to take the next step in 2013. The offense will have a new look as Dave Warner and Jim Bollman were appointed co-offensive coordinators prior to the start of spring practice. “I think there’s a sense of resolve on our football team right now,” said Dantonio. “Our games were extremely close so it wasn’t like we were out of games (last season). The games came down to the end of the last play, not just the last minute, the last play on a lot of them. So, it’s just a sense to find those inches, as we’ve talked about many times. There’s a sense of resolve of what we have to do to get better, to get over the hump, regardless of what it is. I think there’s a little edge to us, which is good.” Here’s a position-by-position look at the 2013 Spartans. QUARTERBACKS Dantonio believes that he has more depth at quarterback on this year’s roster than he’s ever had before while coaching at Michigan State. Fifth-year senior Andrew Maxwell (6-3, 210) started all 13 games last season and faced the difficult task of replacing three-year starter Kirk Cousins, who rewrote the record book during his Spartan career. Maxwell responded by ranking among MSU’s Top 10 singleseason leaders in pass attempts (second with 446), pass completions (fourth with 234), passing yards (seventh with 2,606) and total offense (eighth with 2,500 yards). The Midland, Mich., native completed 53 percent of his passes for 2,606 yards, 13 touchdowns and nine interceptions and had six 200-yard passing games in 2012. He ranked fourth in the Big Ten in passing (200.5 yards per game) and sixth in total offense (192.3 ypg.). Although Maxwell entered 2012 as the clear-cut starter, he found himself in a competition for the starting job during spring practice. Entering preseason camp,

So.), who received an increased amount of playing time as the season progressed in 2012, will compete for playing time at fullback, along with Niko Palazeti (6-1, 252, Jr.). Ty Hamilton (6-0, 236, Jr.) and Matt Rea (6-1, 247, Jr.) will provide depth. WIDE RECEIVERS
Andrew Maxwell threw for 2,606 yards, including six 200-yard games, in his first season as the starting quarterback in 2012. Dantonio still views Maxwell as the team’s starting quarterback. Sophomore Connor Cook (6-4, 218), who led the Spartans on the game-winning drive in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl against TCU, has also shown glimpses of potential and will compete for playing time during preseason camp. With the Spartans trailing 13-0 in the third quarter vs. TCU, Cook displayed poise in helping lead the MSU comeback, guiding the team on a 14-play, 90-yard touchdown drive in the third quarter and then the final drive in the closing minutes of the fourth quarter. Promising red-shirt freshman Tyler O’Connor (6-3, 215) and true freshman Damion Terry (6-3, 222), who completed 67 percent of his passes and threw for 3,599 yards and 50 touchdowns as a senior at Erie Cathedral Prep High School, could also see time under center. Paul Andrie (6-2, 182, R-Fr.) and Tommy Vento (6-1, 195, So.) provide depth at the position. RUNNING BACKS/FULLBACKS The biggest challenge on offense will be filling the production left behind by first-team All-Big Ten selection Le’Veon Bell, who accounted for 92 percent of the team’s rushing yards in 2012 with a total of 1,793, the secondhighest single-season mark in Michigan State history. Bell also had 12 of the team’s 13 rushing touchdowns. Although Bell received a vast majority of the carries last season, Dantonio has preferred using a two-tailback system during his tenure at Michigan State. A wideranging number of candidates will have the opportunity to run the ball in 2013, from returning letterwinners to incoming freshmen. The competition will be perhaps fiercest at tailback more than any other position during preseason camp. Red-shirt freshman Riley Bullough (6-2, 230), who converted from a linebacker to a running back during the last half of spring practice, emerged as a strong contender to see carries in the backfield after strong showings in the second spring scrimmage and the Green-White spring game. In those two contests, Bullough rushed for 89 yards on 22 carries (4.1 avg.). Nick Hill (5-8, 198, Jr.), Jeremy Langford (6-0, 206, Jr.) and Nick Tompkins (5-9, 185, R-Fr.) all received carries with the first team in the spring and will continue to compete for time during preseason camp. The Spartans rarely play true freshmen, but the window of opportunity is open for three newcomers – Gerald Holmes (6-0, 212), RJ Shelton (5-11, 204) and Delton Williams (6-1, 220) – to make their mark in August and possibly see playing time during the season. At fullback, sophomore Lawrence Thomas started three games and saw a majority of the snaps at the position last season, but he will be returning to the defensive line in 2013. Trevon Pendleton (5-11, 248,
After having to replace nearly its entire receiving corps in 2012, Michigan State will return four of its top six reception leaders and does not lose a single letterwinner from last season. Keith Mumphery (6-0, 208, Jr.) led the team with 42 receptions for 515 yards, followed by Bennie Fowler (6-1, 212, Sr.-5), who had 41 for a team-high 524 receiving yards. Tony Lippett (6-3, 191, Jr.) ranked fourth on the team with 36 catches for 392 yards, while Aaron Burbridge (6-1, 195, So.), who earned Big Ten AllFreshman honors, hauled in 29 catches for 364 yards. Burbridge showed his potential at Indiana, becoming the first true freshman in MSU history to record a 100-yard receiving game (eight catches for 134 yards). The young receivers gained valuable experience last season, but the coaching staff is expecting this core group to show significant progress this fall. In addition, DeAnthony Arnett (5-11, 175, Jr.), Macgarrett Kings Jr. (5-10, 186, So.), Monty Madaris (6-1, 198, R-Fr.) and Andre Sims Jr. (5-9, 185, So.) will compete for playing time in the rotation. Tres Barksdale (6-2, 194, R-Fr.), John Jakubik (6-0, 188, Jr.) and Matt Macksood (5-11, 184, R-Fr.) add depth at wide receiver. TIGHT ENDS Michigan State’s starting tight ends have earned All-Big Ten recognition every season since Dantonio’s arrival in 2007. Last year, it was second-team All-Big Ten selection Dion Sims, who led the way with 36 receptions for 475 yards and two touchdowns. With Sims’ early departure to the NFL, the Spartans will have to break in several new players to the position, as the group features several underclassmen with limited starting experience. Andrew Gleichert (6-5, 263, Jr.) is the most experienced tight end on the roster, appearing in 11 games with two starts, and heads into preseason camp listed as the starter on the depth chart. Paul Lang (6-5, 257, So.) saw his playing time increase during the Big Ten season, starting against Ohio State and Northwestern while catching his first touchdown pass against Michigan. He will also have an opportunity at the starting position during preseason practices. Fifth-year senior Derek Hoebing (6-7, 299), along with red-shirt freshmen Evan Jones (6-5, 249) and Josiah Price (6-4, 243), will also compete for playing time at tight end. OFFENSIVE LINE
After piecing together an offensive line that suffered multiple season-ending injuries last year, the Spartans appear to be in solid shape up front heading into 2013, as MSU returns seven players with starting experience. Fifth-year senior Dan France (6-6, 312) has started the last two years at left tackle and will compete with Donavon Clark (6-3, 300, So.) for the starting position this season. France saw a majority of his reps at guard during spring practice and has the ability to go inside if necessary. When France was sidelined against Michigan and Wisconsin last year, Clark filled in admirably and continued his progress in the spring. Jack Conklin (6-6, 326, R-Fr.), who showed promise during his red-shirt season, will provide depth at left tackle. Veteran Blake Treadwell (6-3, 304, Sr.-5) started seven games at left guard last season after missing the first five games with a knee injury, and will return to the same position this year. Treadwell also has starting experience at center. Connor Kruse (6-4, 320, Jr.), Zach

2012 RECAP
The Spartans welcome back three starters from one of the country’s top secondaries the past two seasons. MSU, Alabama and Georgia are the only three schools in the NCAA FBS to rank among the top 15 in pass defense in 2011 and 2012. The group is led by a pair of seniors in cornerback Darqueze Dennard (5-11, 197) and strong safety Isaiah Lewis (5-10, 208). Dennard, who is one of just 11 defensive backs nationally to appear on the Bednarik, Nagurski and Thorpe Award Watch Lists, was a first-team All-Big Ten selection by the coaches as a junior in 2012. The Dry Branch, Ga., native has played his best against top competition, as he recorded two interceptions both against No. 18 Georgia in the 2012 Outback Bowl and vs. No. 21 Nebraska last season.
COACHING STAFF
DEFENSIVE BACKS
2013 SPARTANS
Michigan State will once again field one of the top linebacking corps in the nation in 2013, led by threeyear starter and Butkus Award nominee Max Bullough. Bullough (6-3, 245, Sr.) has started 27 consecutive games at middle linebacker and has led the team in tackles back-to-back years with 89 and 111 stops in 2011 and 2012, respectively, all while serving as the vocal leader of the Big Ten’s best defense the past two seasons. The preseason All-American has been named to watch lists for five major awards (Bednarik, Butkus, Lott IMPACT Trophy, Lombardi and Nagurski). Veteran Kyler Elsworth (6-1, 225, Sr.-5) will back up Bullough at middle linebacker, while Pat Rhomberg (6-0, 230, So.) adds depth. Denicos Allen (5-11, 218, Sr.-5) also returns for his third year as a starter at Sam (strong side) linebacker. An impact player, Allen already ranks among the school’s all-time leaders with 14 sacks and 29.5 tackles for loss in his career. At Star linebacker, converted fifth-year senior safety Jairus Jones (6-1, 213) and junior Taiwan Jones (6-3, 250) will compete in preseason camp for the starting position. Jairus Jones started the first six games at free safety, but injuries forced him on the sidelines for the second half of the season; he made the change to linebacker during spring practice and made an immediate impact in his new role. Taiwan Jones saw his playing time steadily increase as the season went along and ended up with 38 tackles, including 5.5 for losses. Darien Harris (6-0, 215, So.) and Danny Folino (5-9, 212, Sr.-5), who both earned letters last season, also return to provide support at weakside linebacker.
Red-shirt freshmen Jermaine Edmondson (6-0, 182) and Mark Meyers (6-0, 177) add depth at boundary corner. Opposite of Dennard at field corner will be first-year starter Trae Waynes. With two-time first-team All-Big Ten selection Johnny Adams sidelined with an injury in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl, Waynes (6-1, 185, So.) stepped right in and made a presence, tallying three tackles and a half sack as MSU limited TCU to just 288 yards of total offense. Ezra Robinson (6-0, 180, R-Fr.) could see time as well, while Gabe Augustin (5-8, 176, R-Fr.) will provide depth. Lewis, who is entering his third season as a starter, ranked second on the team as a junior with a career-high 80 tackles to go along with eight passes defended (six pass break-ups and two interceptions). He was named to the Thorpe Award Watch List, given to the nation’s top defensive back, for the second-straight year. Sophomore RJ Williamson (6-0, 212, So.), who earned his first letter last season and earned Big Ten AllFreshman honors, gives Michigan State an experienced back-up at strong safety behind Lewis. At free safety, Kurtis Drummond (6-1, 200, Jr.) took over the starting duties midway through the season and continued to improve throughout the year. Drummond proved to be a playmaker as he recorded four pass break-ups, two interceptions, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery to go along with his career-high 53 tackles. Demetrious Cox (6-1, 199, R-Fr.) drew the attention from the coaching staff on the scout team as a freshman and will compete for playing time, along with returning letterwinner Mylan Hicks (5-11, 196, Jr.). SPECIAL TEAMS Michigan State has consistently shown quality play from special teams in the Dantonio era, as the Spartans have earned All-Big Ten recognition either at placekicker or punter seven times since 2007. In addition, MSU has also produced Big Ten leaders in kickoff and punt returns. Mike Sadler, who led the Big Ten and ranked 21st in the NCAA FBS in punting last season with his 43.3yard average, is back for his third season as the starting punter. Sadler (6-0, 192, Jr.) earned first-team All-Big Ten honors from the coaches in 2012 and was named to the preseason watch list for the Ray Guy Award, which is presented annually to the nation’s top punter. Perhaps more important than his average, Sadler has proven to be a dangerous field-position weapon, ranking among the nation’s leaders the past two seasons for most punts placed inside the opponents’ 20-yard line. Sadler ranked second in the conference with 31 punts downed inside the 20 last season and has placed nearly 40 percent (31-of-79) of his career punts inside the 20, including 22 percent inside the 10-yard line. The spring saw tough competition to replace threeyear starting placekicker Dan Conroy, and the battle is expected to continue throughout preseason camp. Redshirt freshman Kevin Cronin (6-1, 209, R-Fr.) emerged as the favorite to win the job with an impressive spring, but veteran Kevin Muma (6-0, 206, Sr.-5) and incoming freshman Michael Geiger (5-8, 186) will still have an opportunity at the position. Geiger was ranked the top high school kicker in the nation by several scouting services. Muma also has been the starting kickoff specialist the past three years, but enters the season in a deadheat with Cronin for those duties as well. Taybor Pepper (6-4, 200, So.) will serve as the starting long snapper for the second consecutive season. Nick Hill has been the team’s primary kick returner the last two seasons and already ranks third in MSU history in kick return yards with 1,669. Andre Sims Jr. led the team in punt return yards in 2012 to earn Big Ten All-Freshman Team honors by BTN.com and is one of the top candidates to fill the role this season.
2013 OUTLOOK
Higgins (6-4, 314, R-Fr.) and Shawn Kamm (6-7, 300, Jr.) will add support behind Treadwell. Junior Travis Jackson (6-3, 283), who is on the Rimington Trophy Watch List for the nation’s top center, returned to practice in the spring and is healthy and back in action for the 2013 season. Jackson had to miss the final seven games in 2012 after he suffered a knee injury and broke his leg during Week 5 against Ohio State. Kodi Kieler (6-5, 326, R-Fr.) and Kyle Lints (6-3, 298, So.) supply depth at center. In Jackson’s absence, Jack Allen (6-1, 297, So.) moved from left guard to center, proving his versatility along the line. Allen, who garnered Freshman AllAmerica honors, played perhaps his best game of the season in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl over TCU, helping Bell rush for 145 yards against the nation’s 10th-ranked rushing defense. With Jackson back at center and Treadwell locked in at left guard, Allen looks to replace three-year starter Chris McDonald at right guard. Henry Conway (6-6, 327, Sr.-5) and Benny McGowan (6-3, 312, R-Fr.) will back up Allen. Another injured starter from a year ago, Fou Fonoti, returns to the starting lineup at right tackle. A junior college transfer, Fonoti (6-4, 298, Sr.-5) settled in at right tackle his first season in 2011, but he broke his foot prior to the Notre Dame game in Week 3 last year and had to sit out the rest of the season. The good news for Michigan State was that he received another year of eligibility after only playing in two games. Skyler Burkland, who the previous season was in the same position as Fonoti with a season-ending injury, started the last 11 games at right tackle in 2012. Burkland (6-7, 315, Jr.) begins preseason camp listed as Fonoti’s back-up on the depth chart, while Michael Dennis (6-7, 299, Jr.) will also add depth. DEFENSIVE LINE MSU returns six letterwinners and five players with starting experience on the defensive line, including junior end Marcus Rush, who has started all 27 games of his Spartan career. Named to the Nagurski Trophy Watch List for the nation’s best defensive player, Rush (6-2, 245) has collected 19.5 tackles for loss and six sacks in his career. There will be a new look opposite of Rush following William Gholston’s early departure to the NFL, but the coaching staff is still expecting big production out of the position from Shilique Calhoun. Although he played in limited situations, Calhoun (6-4, 250, So.) still tied for the team lead in quarterback hurries last season and showed his potential with two tackles for loss in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl. Denzel Drone (6-2, 251, Sr.-5) will also see significant playing time at defensive end, while Joel Heath (6-6, 260, So.) and Jamal Lyles (6-3, 246, R-Fr.) will push for playing time. Along the inside of the defensive line, the Spartans are as deep as possibly they’ve ever been in the Dantonio era. Tyler Hoover, who has played in 37 career games, received a sixth year of eligibility from the NCAA and enters camp as the starter at defensive tackle. Hoover (6-7, 290) has battled injuries his entire career, including last season, but he started the last three games of the year and appeared to settle into his new position after previously playing defensive end. Micajah Reynolds (6-5, 307, Sr.-5) and James Kittredge (6-4, 252, Jr.) split time as starters last season and will compete to start at nose tackle. Lawrence Thomas (6-3, 305, So.), who started at fullback because of a need at the position last season, is back on defense and should also contribute at defensive tackle. Brandon Clemons (6-3, 297, So.), Damon Knox (6-4, 276, So.), David Fennell (6-2, 267, R-Fr.) and Mark Scarpinato (6-3, 286, So.) will provide depth on the interior.

TERRENCE SAMUEL WIDE RECEIVERS THIRD SEASON
After a record-breaking season in 2011, Samuel had the difficult challenge of restocking MSU’s receiving corps as only 23 percent of the team’s receptions and 16 percent of the team’s receiving yards returned in 2012. The young Spartans – featuring four new full-time starters and no seniors – improved significantly as the season progressed. Michigan State was the only team in the Big Ten to feature six players with at least 29 receptions, and three receivers recorded their first career touchdown catch.
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 touchdowns (tied for third). In addition, he set an MSU singleseason record with eight 100-yard receiving games. Cunningham was a second-team All-Big Ten selection by the coaches and media, and also earned All-America honors from Phil Steele (fourth team) and SI.com (honorable mention).
Cunningham (79 catches) and Martin (66) combined for 145 receptions in 2011, the most ever by a receiving duo in a Michigan State season (previous record: 124 by Charles Rogers (67) and Herb Haygood (57) in 2001). Cunningham (1,306 yards) and Martin (777) also produced the most receiving yards of any receiving duo in an MSU season, teaming up for 2,083 receiving yards in 2011 (previous record: Plaxico Burress (1,142) and Gari Scott (843) with 1,985 receiving yards in 1998). Both of those marks by Cunningham and Martin (145 receptions; 2,083 receiving yards) ranked first among receiving duos in the Big Ten in 2011. Martin was selected in the fourth round of the 2012 National Football League Draft by the Houston Texas, while Cunningham was picked in the sixth round by the Miami Dolphins. Samuel spent the 2010 season at Central Michigan under former Spartan quarterback and assistant coach Dan Enos. For Samuel’s complete bio, please visit msuspartans.com.
THE SAMUEL FILE
Michigan State had to deal with multiple injuries throughout the first half of 2012, including the loss of starting right tackle Fou Fonoti and center Travis Jackson. The Spartans used six different starting combinations along the offensive line, but still managed to pave the MARK STATEN way for first-team All-Big Ten selection Le’Veon Bell, who OFFENSIVE LINE led the Big Ten and ranked third in the NCAA Football SEVENTH SEASON Bowl Subdivision in rushing, averaging 137.9 yards per game. The line showed signs of improvement toward the end of the season, as Bell averaged 183.0 rushing yards when the Spartans used the same starting five up front for the last four games. For the second-straight season, Staten mentored a Freshman All-American, as Jack Allen earned first-team honors from both Sporting News and the Football Writers Association of America. Allen started five games at left guard, then started the last seven games of the season at center while replacing Jackson, who earned Freshman All-America honors in 2011. In addition, senior right guard Chris McDonald, the only Spartan offensive lineman to start every game last season, earned honorable mention All-Big Ten accolades for the secondstraight year. He closed his career by starting in 30 consecutive games. 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 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. 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 recently completed his fifth season playing for the Bears. 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).

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. Macklin, who was said to have stood about 6-5 and weighed around 250 pounds, owned a winning percentage of .853 (29-5), which is the highest in Michigan State history. 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.

1929-32 (4 SEASONS) MSU RECORD: 22-8-3 (.712) 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 (5 SEASONS) MSU RECORD: 18-22-1 (.451) 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 (1 SEASON) MSU RECORD: 3-4-1 (.438) 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.

2012 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 All-American since 1915, halfback John Pingel and fullback Jack Breslin. Bachman died in 1985 at the age of 93.

CLARENCE “BIGGIE” MUNN
1947-53 (7 SEASONS) MSU RECORD: 54-9-2 (.846) Former Minnesota All-American Clarence “Biggie” Munn collected an impressive 54-9-2 (.846) record during his seven seasons as head coach of the Spartans. 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. Munn 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 (19 SEASONS) MSU RECORD: 109-69-5 (.609) 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 firstteam 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)

Denny Stolz, defensive coordinator under Duffy Daugherty, was the 16th man to direct Spartan football fortunes.

Stolz’s second club finished a half-game behind Michigan and Ohio State in the 1974 Big Ten standings, earning him conference Coach of the Year honors. The highlight that year was an unforgettable upset victory over the top-ranked Buckeyes at Spartan Stadium. His final MSU team tied for third in the conference standings with the major accomplishment an upset victory at Notre Dame. Stolz left MSU following the 1975 season. He coached at Bowling Green State, 197785, and then served as head coach at San Diego State, 1986-88. 1973 | 5-6, 4-4 (T-4TH)

THE UNIVERSITY
Former Spartan gridder and assistant coach George Perles saw his dream of becoming head coach of the MSU football program come true when he was named to the position on Dec. 3, 1982. After posting just 10 wins in three seasons prior to his arrival, Perles helped return MSU to national prominence with two bowl appearances in his first three seasons. In 1987, Perles and the Spartans captured the Big Ten title and made the program’s first Rose Bowl appearance since 1966. The Spartans topped USC, 20-17, ending the year at 9-2-1, the most victories by an MSU squad since 1966, along with a No. 8 national ranking. His efforts that season earned him Football News’ Coach of the Year honors. The Rose Bowl began a string of four-straight bowl appearances which included triumphs in the 1989 Aloha and ’90 John Hancock Bowls. The architect of the dominating Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense during the Super Bowl years (197475-78-79), 50 of his players were selected in the NFL Draft, including nine first-rounders. He guided the Spartans to a Big Ten slate of 53-42-3, and to seven bowl games. In 2007, Perles was inducted into

BOWL HISTORY
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
1995-99 (5 SEASONS) MSU RECORD: 34-24-1 (.585) 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.

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

MARK DANTONIO
2007-ACTIVE (7TH SEASON) MSU RECORD: 51-28 (.646)
Mark Dantonio became Michigan State University’s 24th head football coach on Nov. 27, 2006. Dantonio has led Michigan State to a school-record six consecutive bowl appearances, including back-toback postseason wins (2012 Outback Bowl and 2012 Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl). In the past five seasons, MSU has recorded 27 Big Ten victories, the most of any team in the conference. In addition, MSU’s 29 wins over the last three seasons ties for 13th most among NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision teams and second most in the Big Ten during that same period, and is the winningest three-year stretch in school history. 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. Thanks to its 33-30 victory over Georgia in the 2012 Outback Bowl, Michigan State (11-3) moved up No. 10 in the final USA TODAY Coaches Poll. In 2010, he was selected Big Ten Coach of the Year after leading Michigan State to a school-record 11 wins and a share of its first conference championship in 20 years.

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 35-23-2. 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 StateNotre 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 42-12-1.
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.

TOTALS
During “Biggie” Munn’s seven-year tenure from 1947-53, the Spartans won back-toback National Championships (1951-52), rattled off a school record 28-game winning streak, and won the 1953 Big Ten co-championship in his final season as head coach.
Darryl Rogers earned Big Ten Coach of the Year honors in 1978 after the Spartans closed out the regular season on a seven-game winning streak to claim the school’s fourth conference title.
George Perles led the Spartans to the Big Ten championship in 1987 and a 20-17 victory over Southern Cal in the 1988 Rose Bowl. In 1990, Michigan State won its last five league games to earn a share of another Big Ten title.
In 19 seasons as Michigan State’s head coach (1954-72), Hugh Duffy Daugherty compiled a 109-69-5 record and led the Spartans to four National Championships (1955, 1957, 1965 and 1966).

In 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 NCAArecord 350 yards on 29 carries, a record that stood until 1978.

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.

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.

In Big Ten outings, West’s solid blocking enabled the Green and White to pace the conference in both rushing (223.2 ypg.) and in scoring (30.4 ppg.). One of the many fine performances for the 5-foot-11, 218-pounder that year came on a sloppy Ohio Stadium field when his pass protection skills helped QB Jimmy Raye pass for 68 yards during an 83-yard winning TD drive in an 11-8 win over the Buckeyes. LORENZO WHITE #34 TB | 5-11 | 204 FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. Lorenzo White captured All-America honors as a sophomore in 1985 as chosen by the Associated Press, United Press, Football Writers, The Sporting News, American Football Coaches and the Walter Camp Foundation. As a senior in 1987, seven different agencies tabbed him as an All-American including Kodak, United Press, Football Writers, the Walter Camp Foundation and Football News. In 1985, he finished fourth in the voting for the Heisman Trophy after rushing for a school and Big Ten seasonal record 2,066 yards. His 1,908 yards during the regular season at the time was the fourth-best singleseason rushing total in the history of college football and the highest by a sophomore. He rushed for 200 or more yards on four occasions including a 286-yard effort vs. Indiana. During the ’87 season, White helped MSU to its first Rose Bowl since 1966 by rushing for 1,572 yards. His 132.6 rushing yards per game during the regular season ranked him No. 6 nationally. He rushed for 100-plus yards on seven occasions and established a school record for attempts in a game with 56 vs. Indiana while finishing that contest with a personal-best 292 yards on the ground and finished with school records in rushing yardage (4,887, then No. 2 in the history of Big Ten) and attempts with 1,082. White, who was named to the MSU Centennial Super Squad in 1996, was inducted into the Michigan State Athletics Hall of Fame in 2010.
Consensus All-American Jerel Worthy anchored a Spartan defensive unit that led the Big Ten in rushing defense (100.5 yards per game), total defense (277.4 ypg.) and sacks (45) in 2011. Worthy, a 6-foot-2, 308-pound junior defensive tackle, earned First-Team All-America honors from The Associated Press, American Football Coaches Association (AFCA), Walter Camp Football Foundation, CBSSports.com, Yahoo! Sports and NBCSports.com. He became the first Spartan defensive lineman to earn AP First-Team All-America honors since defensive end Charles “Bubba” Smith in 1966. In addition, Worthy was named one of 12 semifinalists for the Lombardi Award (college lineman of the year) and one of 16 semifinalists for the Chuck Bednarik Award (defensive player of the year). A first-team All-Big Ten selection by both the coaches and media, Worthy ranked fourth on the team in tackles for loss (10.5 for 42 yards), including 3.5 sacks (28 yards). He produced a tackle for loss in nine of MSU’s 14 games. Worthy recorded 30 tackles (19 solos, 11 assists) and was credited with 14 quarterback hits and 10 QB hurries. He closed out his collegiate career in style by matching his career high in tackles (5) and tackles for loss (2 for 2 yards) in MSU’s 33-30 triple-overtime win over No. 18 Georgia in the 2012 Outback Bowl. Worthy made three tackles in MSU’s 37-31 victory over No. 4 Wisconsin, including one for a 3-yard loss. He registered four stops and recovered a fumble at Notre Dame. The Huber Heights, Ohio, native started 38 of 40 career games and recorded 107 tackles, with 27.5 resulting in losses (118 yards) including 12 sacks (78 yards). Those marks rank among MSU’s all-time leaders: tied for 12th in sacks and 13th in tackles for loss. He also blocked three kicks. Worthy was selected by the Green Bay Packers in the second round (No. 51 overall) of the 2012 National Football League Draft.
Tom Yewcic, the leader of the Spartan offense during their 9-0 season, gained All-America status as a junior in 1952 as selected by NBC-TV. He completed 41-of-95 passes for 941 yards, then a school seasonal record, and 10 TDs. In his first game as starting quarterback, he drew acclaim after completing 7-of-14 passes for 171 yards in sparking a come-from-behind 27-13 win over Michigan. He became just the second Spartan QB to reach the 200-yard plateau in passing when he passed for 202 yards against Texas A&M. Yewcic finished his Spartan football career with 18 touchdown passes and 1,480 passing yards, and MSU compiled a 27-1 record during his three years on the team In 1954, Yewcic was a first-team All-American catcher and helped the baseball team win its first Big Ten title and advance to the College World Series. Yewcic is the only player to win a Rose Bowl (1953) and also be named the College World Series Most Valuable Player. He signed a pro baseball contract before entering the pro football ranks with Toronto of the CFL. Yewcic was a member of the Boston Patriots in the American Football League from 1961-66 and was named to the Patriots All-1960s AFL Team as a punter.
SAM WILLIAMS #88 E | 6-5 | 255 DANSVILLE, MICH. Sam Williams was an All-American as a senior in 1958 as picked by UPI, Time Magazine, Football Coaches Association, and the New York News. After dropping out of MSU and serving a four-year stint with the Navy, Williams emerged as a threat both offensively and defensively. A workhorse who averaged nearly 50 minutes per game, he caught a team-high 15 passes for 242 yards while wreaking havoc as a defensive end. A two-time first-team All-Big Ten pick, he served as the Spartan captain of the ’58 squad. He was credited with 13 solo stops against Michigan while Illinois and Purdue ran nearly all their sweep plays to the opposite side of the field. Drafted before he even participated in college (L.A. Rams in 1955), he played one season for the Rams before joining the Detroit Lions, where he played until 1966.
Legendary Michigan State head coach Duffy Daugherty posed for a photo with his 1966 All-Americans: running back Clinton Jones, fullback Bob Apisa, defensive end Charles “Bubba” Smith, wide receiver Gene Washington and roverback George Webster.

RETIRED JERSEY NUMBERS/ RING OF FAME
Only four jersey numbers have been retired in the 114year history of Michigan State football: No. 78 worn by All-America tackle Don Coleman, No. 90 worn by AllAmerica roverback George Webster, No. 46 in honor of former MSU President John Hannah and No. 95 worn by All-America defensive end Charles “Bubba” Smith. Spartan head coach Biggie Munn (1947-53) pulled Coleman’s No. 78 out of circulation in 1952. Munn called Coleman, a consensus All-American in 1951, “the finest lineman ever to play for Michigan State.” Coleman was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1975. Webster, a two-time All-American, had his No. 90 retired by head coach Duffy Daugherty in 1967. “George Webster is not only the finest football player I’ve ever seen, but he symbolizes our great 1965 and ’66 teams,” said Daugherty. Webster was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1987. Daugherty retired the No. 46 in 1969 as a tribute to Dr. Hannah, who stepped down after 46 years of service to the University including 28 years as its president (1941-69). Hannah championed Michigan State’s acceptance into the Big Ten Conference in 1949. Former Spartan head coach and athletics director George Perles said, “John Hannah is the greatest legend in the history of Michigan State. He is the person who made MSU the great school it is today.”
On Sept. 23, 2006, Smith became just the third player in Michigan State football history to have his jersey number (No. 95) retired. His jersey retirement was part of a special program to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the 1966 “Game of the Century” between the second-ranked Spartans and top-ranked Notre Dame that ended in a 10-10 tie. Former Michigan State All-Americans and College Football Hall of Famers Brad Van Pelt and John Pingel had their names added to Spartan Stadium’s “Ring of Fame” prior to MSU’s 2010 home game against Notre Dame, while Gene Washington’s name was adorned before the 2011 Homecoming game (Oct. 22) against Wisconsin. A twotime All-American, Washington was a member of the 2011 College Football Hall of Fame Class. As MSU’s latest inductee into the College Football Hall of Fame (Class of 2013), Percy Snow’s name will be added to the “Ring of Fame” prior to the Nov. 2 game against Michigan. Snow, a two-time All-American linebacker, was the first player in college football history to win both the Butkus and Lombardi Awards in the same season. Munn and Daugherty, who combined to win 163 games and six National Championships, had their names added to Spartan Stadium’s “Ring of Fame” prior to MSU’s 2012 (Oct. 13) Homecoming game against Iowa. The legendary coaches names were added to the west upper deck, alongside the signage that recognizes MSU’s six National Championship seasons. The names of the seven other “Ring of Fame” members appear on the east upper deck.
In just seven seasons from 1947-53, Munn transformed Michigan State into one of the winningest and most respected programs in the nation, as he produced a remarkable record of 54-9-2 (.846). During his tenure, the Spartans won back-to-back National Championships in 1951 and 1952, rattled off a school-record 28-game winning streak, and won the 1953 Big Ten Co-Championship in the school’s inaugural season in the conference. He capped off his illustrious career with a 28-20 victory over fifthranked 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 195053. 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-toback 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-yard pass from Paul Cameron (John Hermann kick), 3:50 left.

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

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

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

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.

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.

The Spartans got on the scoreboard late in the first half as Bobby McAllister finished off a 10-play, 80-yard drive with a 4-yard TD pass to Andre Rison.

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

Paul Edinger kicked a 39-yard field goal as time expired to give No. 9 Michigan State a 37-34 victory over No. 10 Florida in the 2000 Florida Citrus Bowl. It marked Michigan State’s first New Year’s Day bowl victory since the 1988 Rose Bowl and it ended a fourgame losing streak in postseason play. There were five lead changes in the contest. The Spartans opened the scoring as an eight-play, 36-yard drive resulted in a 46-yard field goal by Edinger. Florida took a 7-3 lead as Travis Taylor scored on a 12-yard toss from Doug Johnson. Michigan State jumped out to a 17-7 lead in the second quarter on Bill Burke’s 37-yard TD strike to Plaxico Burress and a 24-yard fumble return by T.J. Turner. The Gators pulled to within 17-14 on Johnson’s 8-yard TD pass to Taylor. Edinger’s second field goal, a 20-yarder, gave the Spartans a 20-14 lead, but Johnson scored on a 1-yard sneak to put Florida ahead at the half, 21-20. Burke directed a 10-play, 84-yard drive late in the third quarter, hooking up with Burress for a 21-yard scoring pass as MSU grabbed a 26-21 lead. Florida built a 34-26 lead on Johnson’s third TD pass to Taylor, a 39-yarder, and Rob Gillespie’s 2-yard TD run. Michigan State rallied to tie the score at 34 early in the fourth quarter as Burke found Burress alone in the end zone for a 30-yard completion and hit Gari Scott for the two-point conversion. Lloyd Clemons’ 8-yard run on third-and-2 set up Edinger’s game-winning kick from the Florida 22. SCORING SUMMARY First Quarter MSU – Paul Edinger 46-yard field goal, 4:41 left.

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

Matt Ryan completed 22-of-47 passes for 249 yards and three scores to lead No. 14 Boston College to a 24-21 victory over Michigan State in the 2007 Champs Sports Bowl. The Eagle defense forced five turnovers, including two interceptions by All-American Jamie Silva. Michigan State started the game with a bang, as Devin Thomas returned the opening kickoff 79 yards to the BC 18. Three plays later, Kellen Davis scored on an 18-yard strike from Brian Hoyer as the Spartans jumped out to a 7-0 lead. A fumble inside the MSU 20 set up BC’s first score, a 1-yard toss from Ryan to Jon Loyte that tied the game at 7 with 36 seconds left in the first quarter. Boston College took the lead for good on its next possession as a 10-play, 70-yard drive resulted in Ryan’s second TD pass, a 29-yarder to Rich Gunnell, with 8:54 remaining in the second quarter. Late in the first half, Michigan State caught a break as Johnny Ayers shanked a 12-yard punt that went out of bounds at the BC 30. Three plays netted only 8 yards and the Spartans had to settle for a 39-yard field goal from Brett Swenson to pull to within 14-10. On its opening possession of the third quarter, Michigan State put together an 11-play, 54-yard drive that resulted in Swenson’s 23-yard field goal and cut its deficit to 14-13. Boston College answered on its next series as Steve Aponavicius capped an 11-play, 69-yard drive with a 28-yard field goal to extend its lead to 17-13. Ryan’s 68-yard bomb to Gunnell early in the fourth quarter gave the Eagles a 24-13 lead. Midway through the fourth quarter, Greg Jones sacked Ryan and forced a fumble that Oren Wilson recovered at the BC 37. Three plays later, Hoyer hooked up with Deon Curry for a 14-yard scoring pass as the Spartans rallied to within 24-21 with 6:04 left in the game. Michigan State got the ball back twice in the closing minutes but failed to enter BC territory. The Spartans outgained Boston College in total yards, 303-276. MSU’s Javon Ringer rushed 21 times for 101 yards against the nation’s top-ranked rushing defense.
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 five-game 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-and-goal play. The Bulldogs responded with a five-play, 81-yard drive to take a 27-20 lead on Murray’s 13-yard TD toss to Boykin. Down seven with 1:55 remaining and no timeouts, Cousins engineered a 10-play, 85-yard drive, as the Spartans rallied to send the game into overtime on Bell’s 1-yard TD run with 14 seconds left in regulation. Cousins accounted for 84 of MSU’s 85 yards on the scoring drive, connecting on 6-of-8 passes for 64 yards and scrambling for another 20 yards. After a scoreless first overtime, the teams traded field goals in the second overtime. SCORING SUMMARY First Quarter UGA – Brandon Boykin safety, 12:07 left.

MICHIGAN STATE FOOTBALL
ATHLETICS DIRECTOR MARK HOLLIS
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
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.
BOWL HISTORY
Michigan State had another successful year in 2012-13, ranking 30th in the Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup Standings, the second-highest showing under Hollis and the sixth best in department history. In the fall, the football team appeared in a school-record sixth consecutive in a bowl game with a win over TCU in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl, men’s soccer won the Big Ten Tournament title, volleyball advanced to the Sweet 16, and the men’s and women’s cross country teams reached the NCAA Championships. Among the winter sports, the men’s basketball team advanced to the Sweet 16 for
On the playing field in 2011-12, MSU won three Big Ten Championships (women’s cross country, men’s basketball and women’s golf) and the football team won the 2011 Big Ten Legends Division title and played in the inaugural Big Ten Championship Game. The Spartans finished ranked No. 10 in the final USA TODAY Coaches Poll after tying the school single-season record with 11 wins, including a dramatic 33-30 triple-overtime victory over Georgia in the 2012 Outback Bowl. The men’s basketball team captured a share of the conference regular-season championship, won the 2012 Big Ten Tournament title, and advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16. Overall, nine sports participated in their respective team NCAA Championships, while individuals competed in five more NCAA Championships. The Spartans finished 34th overall in the 2011-12 Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup standings.
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.
HONORS & AWARDS
Hollis’ leadership and innovation has not gone unnoticed, as he was named the 2012 Athletic Director of the Year by Street & Smith’s SportsBusiness Journal/Daily. Since his official appointment as athletics director began in 2008, the Spartans have won 19 Big Ten Championships (regular season and tournament), appeared in two Final Fours and five bowl games, and finished in the top 40 of the Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup four times. In addition, during Hollis’ tenure as an administrator at MSU, the Spartans have appeared in 16 consecutive men’s basketball NCAA Tournaments – the longest current streak among Big Ten schools and the third longest in the nation – and six Final Fours.
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.
SPARTAN HISTORY
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 five NCAA Final Fours. In 2001, Hollis helped mastermind the Michigan State-Michigan outdoor hockey game that attracted a then-world record crowd of 74,554 in Spartan Stadium.
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 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.
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 a school-record six 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 five-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 RECORDS
A 1985 MSU graduate, Hollis returned to his alma mater in 1995. Since then, he has been a critical component of the athletic department executive management staff, helping guide the department through short- and long-range plans. In addition, Hollis is chair of the NCAA 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 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.
2012 RECAP
Hollis has more than 20 years of athletics administration experience, either at the school or conference level. His wellrounded background has led to his knowledge of all areas within an athletics department, including marketing, financial administration, television negotiations, fund-raising, game operations, facility management, personnel policy, corporate interaction, sports management and public relations.
Spartan athletic facilities have been upgraded at an unprecedented rate the past decade, and will only continue to improve under Hollis. More than $34 million has been committed in the past two years to projects at Spartan Stadium. Prior to the 2012 season, $10 million scoreboards, totaling 13,300-square-feet, were installed in the north and south end zones, giving MSU one of the top video board systems in the nation. In June 2013, the Michigan State Board of Trustees approved a $24.5 million project to the north end of Spartan Stadium that will feature a two-story, 50,000-square-foot addition as well as an entrance plaza, renovated gates, and additional restrooms and concessions. The building will include new locker rooms for teams, coaches and officials, a media center, and a recruiting lounge for all varsity sports. The project is scheduled to be completed in July 2014.
COACHING STAFF
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.
One of Hollis’ major goals upon becoming athletics director was accomplished in 2010 when he unveiled the new brand and identity program for the athletics department. All of Michigan State’s uniforms now incorporate consistent use of colors, logos, lettering and numerals along with standardization for logos. The brand and identity program for Michigan State Athletics was a result of nearly a two-year collaborative effort between the athletics department and Nike that included input from university and athletic administration, coaches and student-athletes. Michigan State was also 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.
2013 SPARTANS
“We gather and engage our community to teach, support and celebrate our student-athletes in their quest for excellence.”
During Hollis’ tenure, Michigan State student-athletes have excelled not only in competition, but in the classroom as well. For five consecutive semesters, Spartan studentathletes have posted better than a 3.0 cumulative GPA. The department had a record-breaking number of student-athletes (57) receive a spring semester GPA of 4.0 in 2013, and 350 student-athletes posted a cumulative GPA above 3.0. Additionally, 238 student-athletes earned Academic All-Big Ten honors throughout the 2012-13 academic year, including 64 Big Ten Distinguished Scholars (min. 3.7 GPA). In the spring of 2012, the athletics department compiled the highest grade-point average in program history with a 3.0644.
In 2010-11, Michigan State had a record-setting year, winning five Big Ten Championships – the most in department history. The football team won a school-record 11 games and claimed the program’s seventh Big Ten Championship, the baseball team won its first Big Ten title since 1979, while the women’s cross country, women’s basketball and women’s golf teams also won conference championships. In 2009-10, the men’s basketball team advanced to the Final Four for the sixth time in the last 12 years and won its second-straight Big Ten regular-season title, and field hockey captured both the Big Ten regular-season and tournament championships.
2013 OUTLOOK
the 11th time in the past 16 years, the women’s basketball team earned an NCAA Tournament bid for the fifth-straight season, and two Spartans earned national runner-up honors at the NCAA Track and Field Indoor Championships. The achievements continued in the spring, as men’s tennis received its first-ever bid for the NCAA Championships, women’s golf qualified for the NCAA Championships for the ninth time in the past 14 years, and women’s track and field placed 18th at the NCAA Championships.

Spartan Stadium is in its 90th 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 Spartans will host their 500th game at Spartan Stadium on Oct. 12, 2013, against Indiana on Homecoming.
Season-ticket sales have topped the 60,000 mark six times in Spartan football history, with an all-time record 63,831 season tickets purchased in 2012.
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 featured 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 was 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 Michigan State Board of Trustees approved the major addition and expansion project of Spartan Stadium in September 2003.
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.
Barton Malow/Clark served as the construction manager for the Spartan Stadium expansion project, with HNTB providing architectural services. The past two years, an additional $34.5 million has been committed to upgrading the 90-yearold facility to continually enhance the gameday atmosphere.
In June 2013, the Michigan State Board of Trustees approved a $24.5 million project to the north end of Spartan Stadium that will feature a two-story, 50,000-square-foot addition as well as an entrance plaza, renovated gates, and additional restrooms and concessions. The building will include new locker rooms for teams, coaches and officials, including a 4,500-square-foot home locker room and a 700-square-foot home training room, in addition to a 3,600-square-foot media center and a 4,000-square-foot recruiting lounge for all varsity sports. The project is scheduled to be completed in July 2014. 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).

2012 RECAP
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 reaches 130 feet. In addition, two new video boards as well as an LED ribbon board were 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 replaced a 14-year-old scoreboard, message board and audio system.

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.
After 9,000 new seats upped the capacity to 60,000 in 1956, the upper decks were added to the east and west stands in 1957, bringing the capacity to 76,000. It also became Spartan Stadium that year. Renovations during the summer of 1994 improved sightlines and comfort for fans, while reducing the capacity to 72,027. On Oct. 6, 2001, Spartan Stadium added another chapter to its storied history as a worldrecord crowd of 74,554 attended the MSU-Michigan outdoor hockey game. 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 336-147-13 record (.691) since taking up residency in Spartan Stadium (formerly Macklin Field) in 1923. The Spartans have gone undefeated at home 18 times since the stadium opened in 1923, including back-to-back seasons in 2010 and 2011. In addition, Michigan State has suffered only one home loss during a season 28 times. Only 10 times in the history of the stadium have the Spartans experienced a losing record at home. With its 49-14 victory over No. 4 Wisconsin in the 2004 home finale, Michigan State recorded its 300th win in Spartan Stadium. Michigan State’s longest home winning streak is 19 games from Oct. 14, 1950, through Nov. 21, 1953.
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 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 160 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 57 seasons, including 20th in 2012, averaging 75,382 fans per game. The Spartans ranked 16th in the NCAA in total attendance in 2012 as 527,671 fans went through the turnstiles for seven home games, including a season-high 79,219 vs. Notre Dame on Sept. 15.

College Football Playoff Coming in 2014-15
208
On June 26, 2012, the BCS Presidential Oversight Committee agreed to launch a fourteam 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 College Football Playoff will begin with the 20142015 season and feature the top four teams as chosen by a yet-to-be-named selection committee. The Rose Bowl and the Sugar Bowl have been chosen to host the first national semifinals, which will pair No. 1 versus No. 4 and No. 2 versus No. 3 on Jan. 1, 2015. The winners of those two games will face off in the first championship game of the playoff era on Monday, Jan. 12, 2015, at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The BCS In Depth The 2013-14 season will be the 16th and final year for the Bowl Championship Series, which is a five-game arrangement that is designed to match the two toprated 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, Discover Orange Bowl, Rose Bowl Game Presented by VIZIO, Allstate Sugar Bowl, and BCS National Championship Game that is played at one of the bowl sites. The 2014 VIZIO BCS National Championship Game will be played at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif. 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.
This robust system of many postseason 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.
