2013 RECAP
Former Michigan State All-Big Ten center Jason Strayhorn begins his ninth season with the Spartan Sports Network and his second as an analyst. Strayhorn previously worked as the sideline reporter for SSN for seven seasons. A native of Indianapolis, Indiana, 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.

2014 OUTLOOK
• After a record-breaking season in 2013, Michigan State enters the College Football Playoff era in 2014 on a 10-game winning streak, primed to make a run at its second-straight Big Ten Championship and a berth in the inaugural four-team playoff. The Spartans return 46 letterwinners and 15 starters from last season’s team that won a school-record 13 games, including a 24-20 victory over No. 5 Stanford in the 2014 Rose Bowl Game and a 34-24 win over No. 2 Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship Game. MSU finished No. 3 in the final 2013 Associated Press and USA TODAY Polls, marking its highest placing in the national polls since 1966. In addition, Michigan State (13-1) became just the third team in Big Ten history to win at least 13 games in a season (Minnesota, 1904; and Ohio State, 2002).
COACHING STAFF
• The Spartans finished their 2013 Big Ten regular-season schedule with a perfect 8-0 record for the first time in school history and claimed their second Legends Division title in three seasons. Michigan State became the 14th Big Ten team to post an 8-0 mark in league play. The Spartans were the first Big Ten team to win all eight of its conference games by double-digit points since the league went to an eight-game schedule in 1971. In addition, MSU became the first undefeated Big Ten team to win all of its league games by double-figure points since Michigan in 1943 (6-0 record).
State and Alabama are the only teams to rank in the FBS top 11 the past three years in total defense, scoring defense, rushing defense and passing defense. MSU has led the Big Ten in total defense and rushing defense the past three seasons, becoming the first conference team to accomplish that feat since the league began awarding stat champions in all games in 1985.
PERSONNEL BRIEFING: OFFENSE QUARTERBACKS Junior Connor Cook (6-4, 218) returns for his second season as the starting quarterback in 2014 after leading the Spartans to a Big Ten Championship and a victory in the Rose Bowl Game last season . . . Cook finished his first year as the starter with one of the best statistical seasons in school history, ranking second in the MSU single-season record book in touchdown passes (22), fourth in total offense (2,831 yards) and pass attempts (380), fifth in passing yards (2,755), and sixth in pass completions (223) . . . Cook was named the Most Outstanding Player in the Big Ten Championship Game after throwing for 304 yards and three touchdowns against No. 2 Ohio State, and he topped that performance by racking up a career-high 332 passing yards and two touchdowns against the Cardinal while being named the Rose Bowl Game’s Offensive MVP . . . sophomore Tyler O’Connor (6-3, 220) and red-shirt freshman Damion Terry (6-3, 226) will compete for the back-up position . . . 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.

Bullough, a middle linebacker, was a two-time first-team All-Big Ten selection and ranked among MSU’s all-time leaders in tackles for loss (30.5) and tackles (299) . . . at Sam (strong side) linebacker, Allen finished his career ranked third in MSU history in tackles for loss (46) and sixth in sacks (19.5) . . . senior Taiwan Jones (6-3, 252) started 13 games at Star (weak side) linebacker last season and is MSU’s second-leading returning tackler after posting a career-high 67 as a junior; he will open preseason camp as the starter at Mike (middle) linebacker . . . red-shirt freshman Jon Reschke (6-2, 236) will back up Jones in the middle to begin the season . . . junior Darien Harris (6-0, 231) shared middle linebacker duties with Kyler Elsworth in the Rose Bowl Game against Stanford and collected a career-high four tackles; Harris is slated to start at the Star (weakside) position and could also play in the middle . . . fifth-year senior Mylan Hicks (5-11, 197) will also see time at Star linebacker . . . junior Ed Davis (6-3, 242) recorded 17 tackles, including four sacks, as a sophomore in 2013 and is poised to take over Allen’s spot at Sam linebacker . . . sophomore Riley Bullough (6-2, 227), who moved to offense as a running back and fullback in 2013, is back to his natural position of linebacker and will see time in the playing rotation.
2014 SPARTANS
The Spartans return the best defensive end duo in the Big Ten in 2014, according to ESPN. com, in fifth-year senior Marcus Rush (6-3, 251) and junior Shilique Calhoun (6-5, 256) . . . a three-year starter, Rush has started 40 of his 41 career games and has 11 sacks and 27 tackles for loss . . . a second-team All-American, Calhoun was named the 2013 Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the Year after racking up 7.5 sacks (45 yards) and 14 tackles for loss (75 yards); he also tied for the FBS lead with three defensive TDs and ranked tied for second with four fumble recoveries . . . Calhoun is featured on preseason watch lists for the Bednarik Award, Lombardi Award, Nagurski Trophy and Walter Camp Player of the Year . . . two-year letterwinner Lawrence Thomas (Jr., 6-4, 309) also will contribute at defensive end and possibly on the inside as well . . . red-shirt freshman Demetrius Cooper (6-5, 246) stood out during spring drills and should see time in the playing rotation at defensive end in his first season of action . . . MSU will have to fill holes in the middle of the line left by the departures of fifthyear senior starters Tyler Hoover and Micajah Reynolds . . . reserve Mark Scarpinato also retired to focus on medical school . . . juniors Joel Heath (6-6, 285) and Damon Knox (6-5, 280) enter preseason camp listed as the starters on the interior of the line . . . fifth-year senior James Kittredge (6-4, 298) and junior Brandon Clemons (6-3, 290) also will see playing time along the defensive line . . . a heralded class of incoming freshmen, including Craig Evans (6-2, 320), Malik McDowell (6-6, 286) and Enoch Smith Jr. (6-2, 276), also will have a chance to compete for playing time.

MICHIGAN STATE FOOTBALL • MSUSPARTANS.COM
COACHING STAFF
Since 2011, Michigan State’s defense has been one of the most consistent in the FBS. The Spartans are one of just four schools, along with Alabama, Florida and Florida State, to rank among the FBS Top 10 in total defense the past three seasons. In addition, Michigan State and Alabama are the only teams to rank in the FBS top 11 the past three years in total defense, scoring defense, rushing defense and passing defense.
Michigan State was rewarded for winning the Legends Division by three games, as six Spartans were named to the All-Big Ten First Team and a total of 16 players received allconference recognition. The six first-team selections were the most for Michigan State since 1990, and the 16 honorees overall equaled the second most under Dantonio (19 in 2011, 16 in 2010). Two Spartans took home individual awards, as senior Darqueze Dennard was named the Tatum-Woodson Big Ten Defensive Back of the Year, while sophomore Shilique Calhoun was named the Smith-Brown Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the Year. Dennard, Calhoun and senior linebacker Max Bullough were first-team selections by both the coaches and media. Junior safety Kurtis Drummond, senior safety Isaiah Lewis and junior punter Mike Sadler were named first-team All-Big Ten by the coaches. The five first-team selections on defense tied for the most in school history (1966). Since 2007, Dantonio has helped produce 26 first-team All-Big Ten selections.
Known as one of the top defensive minds in the country, Dantonio and his staff assembled the No. 1 defense in the Big Ten for the third-straight season in 2013. The Spartans led the NCAA FBS in total defense for 13 straight weeks and finished the season ranked No. 2 in the FBS, allowing just 252.2 yards per game. MSU was the only school to rank in the top three in the four major defensive stat categories: No. 2 in total defense, No. 2 in rushing defense (86.6 ypg.), No. 3 in scoring defense (13.2 ppg.) and No. 3 in pass defense (165.6 ypg.). In

THE UNIVERSITY
Dantonio also was named a finalist for the Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year, Paul “Bear” Bryant Coach of the Year, Bobby Bowden Coach of the Year and Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year Awards. In addition, he was named one of 16 semifinalists for the Maxwell Football Club Coach of the Year and was tabbed Big Ten Coach of the Year by Sporting News, CollegeFootballNews.com, and the Touchdown Club of Columbus. For leading the Spartans to their record-breaking season, Dantonio was honored by The Detroit News as one of 10 Michiganians of the Year in June 2014.
BOWL HISTORY
Dantonio earned 2013 Big Ten Coach of the Year honors from both the media and coaches, as the Spartans finished their conference schedule with a perfect 8-0 record for the first time in school history. Michigan State became the 14th Big Ten team to post an 8-0 mark in league play. The Spartans were the first Big Ten team to win all eight of their conference games by double-digit points since the league went to an eight-game schedule in 1971, and also defeated the Buckeyes by double figures in the championship game. MSU became the first undefeated Big Ten team to win all of its league games by double-figure points since Michigan in 1943 (6-0 record).
HONORS & AWARDS
Michigan State defeated five bowl-bound teams in 2013, including victories over Iowa, Michigan, Nebraska, Minnesota and Ohio State. The Spartans snapped Ohio State’s school-record 24-game winning streak in the Big Ten Championship Game and beat Michigan for the fifth time in the past six seasons.
SPARTAN HISTORY
After leading the Spartans to their second Big Ten Legends Division title in three years in 2013, Dantonio guided MSU past previously undefeated and second-ranked Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship Game, 34-24, to win the school’s eighth Big Ten Championship and earn a berth in the Rose Bowl Game for the first time since 1988. Bowl eligible for a school-record seventh consecutive season, the Spartans finished fourth in the final Bowl Championship Series standings, marking the highest BCS ranking in school history. In its first-ever BCS appearance, Michigan State rallied from its largest deficit of the season - twice trailing Stanford by 10 points - for a 24-20 victory over the Cardinal in the 100th Rose Bowl Game. The Spartans closed out the 2013 season with a 10-game winning streak.
Another key reason for MSU’s success was creating turnovers on defense and limiting mistakes on offense, as Michigan State ranked first in the Big Ten and tied for 10th in the FBS in turnover margin (+13, 0.9 per game). The Spartans forced a total of 28 turnovers (11 fumbles, 17 interceptions), including five for touchdowns (three fumble recoveries, two interception returns). MSU forced the most turnovers in the Big Ten (28) and also turned the ball over the least amount of times (15) in the conference. MSU’s seven interceptions were also tied for fewest in the Big Ten and tied for 11th fewest in the FBS.
SPARTAN RECORDS
MSU’s 42 wins over the last four seasons are most in the Big Ten and tied for ninth most in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision during that period; it’s also the winningest four-year stretch in school history. The Spartans have posted four consecutive winning seasons, a first for the program since recording six in a row from 1985-90. MSU produced back-to-back 11-win seasons in 2010-11 for the first time in program history, claimed a share of the Big Ten Championship in 2010, and won the Big Ten Legends title in 2011. In addition, Michigan State has recorded 35 Big Ten victories since 2008, the most of any team in the conference.
MSU ranked among the Big Ten leaders in conference games in passing efficiency (third with 139.5 rating), scoring offense (fifth with 29.8 ppg.) and rushing offense (fifth with 185.8 ypg.). The offensive line allowed just 17 sacks - second fewest in the Big Ten and tied for 15th fewest in the FBS. Michigan State also ranked seventh in the FBS in time of possession (33:19 per game).
2013 RECAP
Dantonio owns a 64-29 record (.688) at Michigan State since his arrival in 2007. He already ranks among MSU’s all-time leaders in career wins (fourth) and winning percentage (fifth), and is the only coach in MSU history to lead multiple teams to double-digit win seasons (11 in 2010 and 2011; 13 in 2013). Among Spartan coaches who have coached at least 10 Big Ten games, Dantonio owns the best conference winning percentage (.679, 38-18 record).
Offensively, the Spartans evolved into championship form as the season progressed, culminating with strong performances against Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship Game and Stanford in the Rose Bowl Game. The Spartans produced 438 yards of total offense against the Buckeyes and nearly 400 yards (397) against Stanford, which entered the game No. 14 in the FBS in total defense. Sophomore quarterback Connor Cook was named the Most Outstanding Player in the Big Ten Championship Game after throwing for 304 yards and three touchdowns, and he topped that performance by racking up a career-high 332 passing yards and two touchdowns against the Cardinal while being named the Rose Bowl Game’s Offensive MVP. In his first year as a starter, junior running back Jeremy Langford finished with 1,442 rushing yards, the eighth most in an MSU single-season, and he set a school record with eight consecutive 100-yard rushing games.
COACHING STAFF
Dantonio, who has 34 years of collegiate coaching experience, has coached in 18 bowl games. He has led Michigan State to a school-record three consecutive bowl wins (2012 Outback Bowl against No. 18 Georgia; 2012 Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl against TCU; 2014 Rose Bowl Game against No. 5 Stanford). Dantonio has participated in four New Year’s Day games as a head coach (2009 Capital One Bowl, 2011 Capital One Bowl, 2012 Outback Bowl, 2014 Rose Bowl), and has led Michigan State to Top 25 finishes in four of the last six seasons (2008: No. 24 both polls; 2010: No. 14 both polls; 2011: No. 10 USA TODAY/No. 11 AP; 2013: No. 3 both polls).
The Spartans also led the Big Ten in nine defensive categories (total defense, scoring defense, rushing defense, pass defense, pass efficiency defense, turnover margin, opponent third-down conversions, opponent fourth-down conversions, first downs defense). MSU is the first team to rank No. 1 in total defense and rushing defense three years in a row since the Big Ten began awarding conference stat champions in 1985 for overall games.
2014 SPARTANS
MARK DANTONIO HEAD COACH EIGHTH SEASON
A Zanesville, Ohio, native with Midwest ties, Dantonio led Michigan State to a record-setting season in 2013. MSU won a school-record 13 games, defeated No. 5 Stanford in the 100th Rose Bowl Game, beat No. 2 Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship Game for the school’s eighth Big Ten title, and finished No. 3 in both national polls, the highest ranking for the Spartans since 1966. Michigan State (13-1) became just the third team in Big Ten history to win at least 13 games in a season (Minnesota, 1904; and Ohio State, 2002).
addition, the Spartans led the FBS in pass efficiency defense (92.3 rating) and ranked No. 2 in opponent third-down conversions (.279) and No. 5 in first-downs defense (14.3 pg). MSU’s defense allowed just 4.04 yards per play, which also ranked No. 1 in the FBS.
2014 OUTLOOK
Mark Dantonio, who is in his eighth season as head coach at Michigan State, has restored the pride and tradition of Spartan football while transforming the program into an annual Big Ten Championship contender.

From his first day on the job, Dantonio has pledged to support student-athletes as they pursue excellence, both in the classroom and on the playing field.

THE NARDUZZI FILE
Dave Warner enters his second season as the co-offensive coordinator and his eighth overall at Michigan State. Warner, who also coaches the running backs, was promoted to co-offensive coordinator on March 4, 2013. He previously coached the quarterbacks for six seasons. The Spartan offense steadily improved all season long during MSU’s record-setting campaign in 2013, culminating with strong performances against No. 2 Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship Game and No. 5 Stanford in the Rose Bowl Game. The Spartans produced 438 yards of total offense against the Buckeyes and nearly 400 yards (397) against Stanford, which entered the game No. 14 in the FBS in total defense. DAVE WARNER Sophomore quarterback Connor Cook was named the CO-OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR/ Most Outstanding Player in the Big Ten Championship Game after throwing for 304 yards and three touchdowns, RUNNING BACKS and he topped that performance by racking up a careerEIGHTH SEASON high 332 passing yards and two touchdowns against the Cardinal while being named the Rose Bowl Game’s Offensive MVP. Cook finished his first year as the starter with one of the best statistical seasons in school history, ranking second in the MSU single-season record book in touchdown passes (22), fourth in total offense (2,831 yards) and pass attempts (380), fifth in passing yards (2,755), and sixth in pass completions (223). In his first year working with Jeremy Langford, Warner helped developed the junior into one of the top running backs in the Big Ten. Langford, who hadn’t started a game entering the season, emerged as a dynamic scoring threat, as he led the Big Ten with 18 rushing touchdowns. The Wayne, Michigan, native also ranked among the Big Ten leaders in total touchdowns (first with 19), scoring (third with 8.1 ppg.) and rushing (sixth with 101.6 ypg.). In addition, Langford ranked among MSU’s single-season leaders in touchdowns (third), rushing touchdowns (fourth), rushing attempts (sixth with 292) and rushing yards (eighth with 1,422). He established a school record by rushing for more than 100 yards in eight consecutive games and was named the Big Ten Player of the Year by The Touchdown Club of Columbus. MSU’s offense also featured a balanced passing attack. The Spartans were one of only two teams in the Big Ten to have seven players with at least 17 receptions, and nine different players caught touchdown passes. The offensive line, which rotated in eight different players, was one of the top units in the country and a key reason why MSU ranked seventh in the FBS in time of possession (33:19). In addition to a strong running game, the Spartans only allowed 17 sacks, second fewest in the Big Ten and 15th fewest in the FBS. Six starters earned All-Big Ten recognition on the offense, including Cook (second team, coaches), senior offensive guard Blake Treadwell (second team, coaches and media), sophomore center Jack Allen (second team, media), senior offensive tackle Fou Fonoti (honorable mention), senior offensive guard Dan France (honorable mention) and Langford (honorable mention). Warner has been a quarterbacks coach and/or offensive coordinator or passing game coordinator for 25 of his 30 seasons as a college assistant. Warner served as the offensive coordinator for two seasons (1999-2000) at Connecticut, and was the passing game coordinator at Wyoming (1998) and Houston (2001-02). Under the direction of Warner, Spartan quarterbacks posted record numbers. Kirk Cousins, the winningest quarterback in school history with 27 victories as a starter, became MSU’s career record holder in 2011 for passing touchdowns (66), passing yards (9,131), completions (723), passing efficiency (146.1 rating), total offense (9,004 yards) and 200yard passing games (26). Cousins’ numbers were some of the best in Big Ten history, as finished his career ranked among the conference’s all-time Top 10 in completion percentage (tied for sixth at .641), passing efficiency rating (sixth), passing yards (10th) and TD passes (tied for 10th). Warner also tutored Brian Hoyer at Michigan State from 2007-08; Hoyer is entering his sixth season in the NFL in 2014 slated to start at quarterback for the Cleveland Browns.
2014 OUTLOOK
Now in his eighth season as Michigan State’s defensive coordinator, Pat Narduzzi has developed the Spartans into one of the top defensive teams in the nation. Narduzzi was promoted to assistant head coach on March 4, 2013. Narduzzi helped construct the No. 1 defense in the Big Ten for the third consecutive year in 2013. The Spartans led the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision in total defense for 13 straight weeks and finished the season ranked No. 2 in the FBS, allowing just 252.2 yards per game. MSU was the only school to rank in the top three in the four major defensive stat categories: No. 2 in total defense, No. 2 in rushing defense (86.6 ypg.), No. 3 in scoring defense (13.2 ppg.) and No. 3 in pass defense PAT NARDUZZI (165.6 ypg.). In addition, the Spartans led the FBS in pass efficiency defense (92.3 rating) and ranked No. 2 ASSISTANT HEAD COACH/ DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR in opponent third-down conversions (.279) and No. 5 in first-downs defense (14.3 pg). MSU’s defense allowed EIGHTH SEASON just 4.04 yards per play, which also ranked No. 1 in the FBS. Michigan State led the Big Ten in nine defensive stat categories, including total defense and rushing defense for the third year in a row. Since the Big Ten awarded conference stat champions in 1985 for overall games, MSU is the first team to win three straight titles in total defense and rushing defense. Narduzzi was named the winner of the 2013 Frank Broyles Award, which is awarded annually to the nation’s top assistant coach. He is the first MSU coach to win the award, which started in 1996. Narduzzi also was named the National Defensive Coordinator of the Year by FootballScoop. Since 2011, Michigan State’s defense has been one of the most consistent in the FBS. The Spartans are one of just four schools, along with Alabama, Florida and Florida State, to rank among the FBS Top 10 in total defense the past three seasons. In addition, Michigan State and Alabama are the only teams to rank in the FBS top 11 the past three years in total defense, scoring defense, rushing defense and passing defense. Michigan State held all 14 of its opponents in 2013 under their season average in points and total offense. The Spartans allowed just 20 touchdowns on defense (eight rushing, 12 passing), which ranked second fewest in the FBS for the second year in a row. The foundation of Michigan State’s defense is stopping the run, and Narduzzi’s unit once again proved it could stop the rush in 2013. The Spartans led the Big Ten and ranked second in the NCAA FBS in rushing defense, allowing just 86.6 yards per game, which also marked the seventh-best effort in school history. MSU has finished in the Top 25 nationally in rushing defense four of the past five seasons (24th in 2009; ninth in 2011; eighth in 2012; second in 2013). Since the beginning of 2011, Michigan State has held 25 opponents under 100 rushing yards (seven in 2011; eight in 2012; 10 in 2013), which ranks tied for third most in the NCAA FBS (Alabama: 29; Stanford: 27; MSU/Florida State: 25). The Spartans featured five first-team All-Big Ten selections on defense, which tied for the most in school history (1966). Linebacker Max Bullough, defensive end Shilique Calhoun, cornerback Darqueze Dennard, safety Kurtis Drummond and safety Isaiah Lewis all garnered first-team accolades from the league’s coaches, while Bullough, Calhoun and Dennard were also on the media’s first team. Eight of MSU’s starters received All-Big Ten recognition. Calhoun was named the Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the Year, while Dennard was named the Big Ten Defensive Back of the Year and the Jim Thorpe Award (nation’s best defensive back) winner. A unanimous first-team All-American, Dennard was selected in the first round (No. 24 overall) of the 2014 NFL Draft by Cincinnati; a total of eight Spartan defensive players have been drafted in Narduzzi’s tenure. Narduzzi has been named the National Coordinator of the Week four times in his career three for his game plans in wins over Michigan (2010, 2011, 2013), including last season, when the Wolverines were sacked seven times and held to a school-record low minus-48 yards rushing, and also for his role in helping MSU defeat Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship Game. The Spartans held the previously undefeated and second-ranked Buckeyes to a season-low 374 yards of total offense and 24 points. During Narduzzi’s tenure at MSU, his players have earned All-Big Ten honors 56 times, including 11 different first-team selections, and first-team All-America accolades on four occasions.

JIM BOLLMAN CO-OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR/ TIGHT ENDS SECOND SEASON
Jim Bollman, who has 37 years of coaching experience, both at the collegiate and professional levels, enters his second year as the co-offensive coordinator and tight ends coach. Bollman, who spent 11 years as the offensive coordinator/offensive line coach at Ohio State (2001-11), was named co-offensive coordinator on March 4, 2013.
Harlon Barnett, a four-year letterwinner at Michigan State (1986-89) as a defensive back who was named a captain and All-American as a senior, is in his eighth season as the Spartans’ secondary coach. Barnett returned to East Lansing with seven years of professional playing experience and nine seasons of coaching experience under his belt.
Bollman coached in his ninth BCS Bowl and 18th postseason game overall as the Spartans defeated No. 5 Stanford in the 2014 Rose Bowl Game. He was the offensive coordinator for the Buckeyes during their 2002 National Championship season and has coached in three BCS National Championship Games.
Barnett mentors one of the top secondaries in the nation, as the Spartans are the only school in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision to rank among the nation’s Top 20 in pass defense and pass efficiency defense the past three seasons. In addition, the Spartans are one of just two FBS schools, along with Alabama, to rank among the HARLON BARNETT nation’s top 11 in pass defense in 2011 (11th at 175.8 SECONDARY ypg.), 2012 (ninth at 176.9 ypg.) and 2013 (third at 165.6 EIGHTH SEASON ypg.). After ranking third in pass efficiency defense in 2012 with a 98.8 rating, the Spartans were No. 1 in the FBS in 2013 with a 92.3 rating. MSU also ranked tied for second in the Big Ten with 17 interceptions last season. For his efforts in leading the Big Ten’s top pass defense in 2013, Barnett was named one of three finalists for National Defensive Back Coach of the Year by FootballScoop.
Under the tutelage of Bollman, the Spartan tight ends showed tremendous growth during the 2013 season. The entire group had a combined five starts entering the season, but the trio of red-shirt freshman Josiah Price and juniors Michael Dennis and Andrew Gleichert all contributed with multiple starts in helping create the position into a strength for the offense. Price caught 17 passes for 210 yards and ranked second on the team with four touchdown receptions. A former offensive line coach at Michigan State in the mid-1990s, Bollman also was instrumental in developing one of the top offensive lines in the country. All five starters received postseason recognition and the group gave up just 17 sacks in 2013, which was second fewest in the Big Ten.
The Buckeyes compiled a 100-28 overall record (.781) during Bollman’s tenure as offensive coordinator from 2001-11 (Ohio State had to vacate 12 wins from the 2010 season). The Buckeyes achieved seven 10-win (or more) seasons during that stretch, and he coached in 11 bowl games, including eight BCS games (2003 BCS National Championship, 2004 Fiesta, 2006 Fiesta, 2007 BCS National Championship, 2008 BCS National Championship, 2009 Fiesta, 2010 Rose, 2011 Sugar). Under Bollman’s offensive direction at Ohio State, his players earned first-team All-Big Ten honors 23 times, including quarterback Troy Smith, who captured the 2006 Heisman Trophy and also earned the Walter Camp Award, Davey O’Brien Award, AP Player of the Year, Sporting News Player of the Year and Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year his senior season. While at OSU, Bollman also mentored 15 linemen that went on to make NFL rosters, and he has worked with 29 players overall that have played professionally during his coaching career.

Mark Staten is in his eighth year on the coaching staff at Michigan State and his fourth as the offensive line coach. He was promoted to offensive line coach in February 2011 after serving as the tight ends/tackles coach and recruiting coordinator for four years. Staten adds a mix of professional playing experience with a solid coaching background.
Terrence Samuel, a 16-year coaching veteran who played his collegiate football at Purdue, is in his fourth year as wide receivers coach at Michigan State.
TERRENCE SAMUEL WIDE RECEIVERS FOURTH SEASON
Perhaps no position group on the team made as much improvement as the wide receiver corps during MSU’s Big Ten Championship season in 2013. A year after having to break in as many as four starters, the unit solidified itself as one of the best in the Big Ten. The Spartans were one of only two teams in the conference, along with Illinois, to have seven players with at least 17 receptions. In addition, nine different Spartans caught touchdowns in 2013, led by fifth-year senior Bennie Fowler, who hauled in six.
Fowler, whose strong senior campaign earned him a spot in the Senior Bowl and an invite to the NFL Scouting Combine, led the Spartans with a career-high 622 receiving yards on 36 catches, while junior Tony Lippett (44 catches for 613 yards) and sophomore Macgarrett Kings Jr. (43 for 513 yards) both recorded career highs in receptions and receiving yards. Lippett was named to the ESPN. com Big Ten All-Bowl Team after collecting a career-high 94 receiving yards in the Rose Bowl Game victory over No. 5 Stanford, including the game-winning 25-yard touchdown grab in the fourth quarter. 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 in 2011. He helped tutor fifthyear 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). Senior Keshawn Martin, an honorable mention All-Big Ten pick, also produced his best year, recording career highs in receptions (66) and receiving yards (777). A multi-dimensional threat, Martin finished his career ranked second in MSU history in punt return yards (659), eighth in kick return yards (1,100), 10th in all-purpose yards (4,013), 11th in receptions (127), 16th in receiving yards (1,714) and tied for 17th in touchdown receptions (10). Cunningham (79 catches) and Martin (66) combined for 145 receptions in 2011, the most ever by a receiving duo in a Michigan State season (previous record: 124 by Charles Rogers (67) and Herb Haygood (57) in 2001). Cunningham (1,306 yards) and Martin (777) also produced the most receiving yards of any receiving duo in an MSU season, teaming up for 2,083 receiving yards in 2011 (previous record: Plaxico Burress (1,142) and Gari Scott (843) with 1,985 receiving yards in 1998). Both of those marks by Cunningham and Martin (145 receptions; 2,083 receiving yards) ranked first among receiving duos in the Big Ten in 2011. Martin was selected in the fourth round of the 2012 National Football League Draft by the Houston Texas, while Cunningham was picked in the sixth round by the Miami Dolphins.

MARK STATEN OFFENSIVE LINE EIGHTH SEASON
Staten helped mold the top offensive line in head coach Mark Dantonio’s tenure in East Lansing during MSU’s record-setting season in 2013. The versatile group, which saw as many as eight lineman in the playing rotation, was one of the main reasons why Michigan State continued to improve throughout the season on the offensive side of the ball.
All five starters received postseason recognition, including left guard Blake Treadwell (second-team AllBig Ten, coaches and media), center Jack Allen (secondteam All-Big Ten, media), right tackle Fou Fonoti (honorable mention All-Big Ten), right guard Dan France (honorable mention All-Big Ten) and left tackle Jack Conklin (first-team Freshman All-American by Football Writers Association of America, Sporting News and CollegeFootballNews.com). In addition, Allen and Treadwell were each named to the ESPN. com Big Ten All-Bowl Team for their performances in the Rose Bowl Game victory over No. 5 Stanford. Junior center Travis Jackson, junior guard Connor Kruse and sophomore tackle Donavon Clark also were instrumental to the line’s success. For the third-straight season, Staten mentored a Freshman All-American, as Conklin earned first-team honors from the FWAA, Sporting News and CollegeFootballNews.com. Allen was a first-team selection by the FWAA and Sporting News in 2012, while Jackson garnered Freshman All-America accolades in 2011 from Phil Steele and CollegeFootballNews.com. Michigan State not only protected first-year starting quarterback Connor Cook, as the line gave up just 17 sacks (second fewest in Big Ten and tied for 15th fewest in the FBS), but it also paved the way for Jeremy Langford, who led the conference with 18 rushing touchdowns. When the game was on the line, the unit performed at its best – the Spartans ranked 16th in the FBS in fourth-quarter rushing (56.8 avg.) and ranked seventh in the nation in time of possession (33:19 per game). MSU had to deal with multiple injuries throughout the first half of 2012, including the loss of starters Fonoti and Jackson. The Spartans used six different starting combinations along the offensive line, but still managed to lead the way for first-team All-Big Ten selection Le’Veon Bell, who led the Big Ten and ranked third in the NCAA Football 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. Heading into 2011, Michigan State’s offensive line had to replace three starters, but Staten helped develop 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. 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). 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).

1903-10 / 1917 / 1919 (10 SEASONS) MSU RECORD: 58-23-7 (.699) This Owosso, Mich., native revolutionized MAC’s football program during his first of three stints as Aggie coach. Chester Brewer was a four-sport star at Wisconsin, earning All-Western honors in football. A defensive genius, Aggie teams posted shutouts in 49 of the 88 games Brewer coached. His greatest efforts included a 0-0 tie against Fielding Yost’s 1908 Michigan team and a 17-0 shutout over Notre Dame in 1910. Brewer, who later coached at Missouri, died in 1953 at age 77.

1920 (1 SEASON) MSU RECORD: 4-6-0 (.400) George “Potsy” Clark, an All-America quarterback under the legendary Bob Zuppke at Illinois, served as MAC’s coach for only one season. The Aggies had a losing record, but one of those victories was a record 109-0 rout of Olivet. Among his other stops in college coaching were at Minnesota and Butler. He also served as athletic director at Nebraska, 1945-1953. Clark is probably best known as head coach of the Detroit Lions that won the 1935 NFL title. He died in 1972 at the age of 78.

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.
SPARTAN RECORDS
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.

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.

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)

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)

1976-79 (4 SEASONS) MSU RECORD: 24-18-2 (.568) Darryl Rogers joined the Spartan football staff following stints at Hayward State and San Jose State in California. Like the two men who preceeded him at Michigan State, Rogers’ first team struggled a bit, but he bounced back big in season number two.

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.
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

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)

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

MARK DANTONIO
2007-ACTIVE (8TH SEASON) MSU RECORD: 64-29 (.688)
Mark Dantonio became Michigan State University’s 24th head football coach on Nov. 27, 2006. Dantonio has led Michigan State to a school-record seven consecutive bowl appearances, including a schoolrecord three-straight postseason wins (2012 Outback Bowl, 2012 Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl and 2014 Rose Bowl Game). He already ranks fourth in school history with 64 wins and his .688 winning percentage ranks fifth best; in Big Ten games (minimum 10 games), he ranks first with a .679 winning percentage (3818). In the past six seasons, MSU has recorded 35 Big Ten victories, the most of any team in the conference. In addition, MSU’s 42 wins over the last four seasons ties for ninth most among NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision teams and is first in the Big Ten during that same period. Michigan State had a record-breaking season in 2013, as the Spartans won a school-record 13 games, defeated No. 5 Stanford in the 100th Rose Bowl Game, beat No. 2 Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship Game, and finished No. 3 in the Associated Press and USA TODAY polls, the highest finish for the program since
1966. For his efforts, Dantonio was named Big Ten Coach of the Year for the second time in his career. 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 a then 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 previous schoolrecord 11 wins and a share of its first conference championship in 20 years. Dantonio compiled an 18-17 record (.514) in three seasons at Cincinnati, including two postseason bowl appearances. Prior to accepting his first head coaching position at Cincinnati, Dantonio spent three years as defensive coordinator under Jim Tressel at Ohio State (200103) where he helped the Buckeyes to a combined record of 32-6 (.842), including the 2002 National Championship. He previously spent six seasons as secondary coach at MSU (1995-2000). 2007 | 7-6, 3-5 (T-7TH)

Old Brass Spittoon
Paul Bunyan Trophy Since 1953, the winner of the Michigan StateMichigan game has been presented the Paul Bunyan Trophy. The four-foot wooden statue was donated by then-Governor G. Mennen Williams to mark Michigan State’s acceptance into the Big Ten. Since ’53, Michigan leads the series 35-24-2. 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.
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 43-12-1.
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).

FLOZELL ADAMS #76 OT | 6-7 | 330 BELLWOOD, ILL. Flozell Adams captured first-team AllAmerica recognition as picked by the Walter Camp Foundation as a senior in 1997. The ’97 Big Ten Offensive Lineman of the Year, Adams started all 12 games at left tackle and helped the Spartans to a No. 24 spot nationally in rushing offense (199.5 ypg.). He also opened holes for MSU running backs who tallied 100 or more yards seven times during the season. At 6-foot-7, 330 pounds, Adams allowed only two sacks and recorded 37 pancakes. He was drafted in the second round by the Dallas Cowboys in the 1998 NFL Draft. ERIC ALLEN #24 TB | 5-9 | 161 GEORGETOWN, S.C. Eric Allen brought home All-America honors his senior year in 1971 as chosen by the American Football Coaches Association. Allen rushed for a Big Ten-leading 1,494 yards in overall action, an MSU seasonal record that stood until 1985. In addition, Allen’s 1,283 yards on the ground in league contests established a Big Ten mark, as did his 110 points, making him the first player in Big Ten history to crack the century mark. Allen broke two NCAA records, four Big Ten marks and nine MSU records in ’71. His greatest game came against Purdue when he rushed for an NCAArecord 350 yards on 29 carries, a record that stood until 1978. Named the Big Ten’s MVP in ’71, he rushed for 100 or more yards on seven occasions and his 18 TDs represented school and Big Ten records. Career-wise, he finished as MSU’s all-time leader in rushing attempts (521) and rushing yards (2,654). Drafted by the Baltimore Colts in the fourth round of the 1972 NFL Draft, he signed with the Toronto Argonauts of the CFL. MORTEN ANDERSEN #8 PK | 6-2 | 195 STREUR, DENMARK Morten Andersen was an All-America honoree his senior year in 1981 as chosen by The Sporting News, United Press and the Walter Camp Foundation. He was MSU’s leading scorer with 73 points on 28 PATs and 15 field goals (20 att.). He set a school and Big Ten record when he drilled a 63-yard field goal against Ohio State. In addition, opponents returned just 17 of his 56 kickoffs. Andersen closed out his college career ranked No. 1 on the MSU and Big Ten lists in field goals with 45 while holding down the top spot on the school’s all-time chart in PATs (126) and total points (261). He recorded seven field goals of 50 or more yards and three others of 49 yards. Picked by the New Orleans Saints in the fourth round of the 1982 NFL Draft. BOB APISA #45 FB | 6-1 | 212 HONOLULU, HAWAII Bob Apisa was an All-America selection as a sophomore in 1965 by Football News and his junior year in 1966 by Football News and the New York News. In ’65, despite missing most of the last three games due to a knee injury, he rushed for 666 yards, then the best seasonal mark turned in by a Spartan fullback, along with nine TDs. In 1966, Apisa once again was hampered by knee problems, but rushed for 445 yards and eight six-pointers. His career-high 140 yards on the ground against Michigan in a 20-7 victory earned him UPI Back of the Week honors. He finished his career
as MSU’s most prolific rushing fullback with 1,343 yards in 262 attempts. A ninth-round pick of the Green Bay Packers in the ’68 NFL Draft. ED BAGDON #65 G | 5-10 | 200 DEARBORN, MICH. Ed Bagdon garnered All-America status as a senior in 1949 as chosen by Look, United Press, The Sporting News, New York News, Central Press, Newspaper Enterprise Association and Tele-News. The recipient of the 1949 Outland Trophy as the nation’s top interior lineman, he was part of a group known as “Duffy’s Toughies” who knocked holes in opposing defenses from his guard position for Spartan backs. He developed a peculiar, but effective, shoulder brush-type block that took tacklers out of the play, but permitted him to keep on his feet and on the move. Named team captain in 1949, he started every game during his varsity career. Following his stint at MSU, he played professionally with the Chicago Cardinals and Washington Redskins. CARL BANKS #54 OLB | 6-6 | 235 FLINT, MICH. Carl Banks earned All-America honors as a senior in 1983 from the Associated Press, United Press and The Sporting News. Named the Spartans’ MVP that season, he recorded 86 tackles, despite opponents rarely running to his side of the field, while closing out his career with 279 hits. Named as college football’s linebacker of the year by the Columbus Touchdown Club, he was named first-team All-Big Ten three times and was MSU’s first non-kicker to be named to the all-league team more than twice. He was taken in the first round (third player overall) by the New York Giants in the ’84 NFL Draft. In 1996, he was selected as a member of the MSU Centennial Super Squad as picked in a poll conducted by the Lansing State Journal. HARLON BARNETT #36 CB | 6-0 | 192 CINCINNATI, OHIO Harlon Barnett captured first-team AllAmerica recognition as picked by The Sporting News as a senior in 1989. He was a primary reason that the Green and White ranked No. 1 in the Big Ten and No. 11 nationally in both rushing defense (95.4 ypg.) and total defense (280.5 ypg.). He compiled 73 stops, high among Spartan DBs, along with three pass interceptions and three fumble recoveries. One of his pass thefts was a 35-yard return for a TD against No. 2-ranked Miami. He finished his career with 154 tackles, six interceptions and 13 pass break-ups. He was chosen in the fourth round by the Cleveland Browns in the 1990 draft. DAVE BEHRMAN #51 OG | 6-4 | 265 DOWAGIAC, MICH. Dave Behrman was an All-America pick as a junior in 1961 as selected by the Associated Press and Football Writers Association and his senior year by CBS-TV. Nicknamed “The Big Bear,” the 6-foot-4, 265-pounder dominated opponents with his strength. He ranked No. 2 on the club in minutes in 1961 and logged 297 minutes as a senior when he concentrated on his center position. His versatility enabled him to play tackle, guard and center during his career. Drafted in the first round by both the Buffalo Bills and the Chicago Bears, he played for the Bills from 1963-67.
LE’VEON BELL #24 RB | 6-2 | 237 COLUMBUS, OHIO Le’Veon Bell, who led the Big Ten and ranked third in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision in rushing at 137.9 yards per game, was named a First-Team All-American by CollegeFootballNews. com in 2012. The CFN staff takes postseason bowl performances into account when selecting its All-America Teams. A first-team All-Big Ten selection (coaches and media) and Doak Walker Award semifinalist, Bell rushed 382 times for 1,793 yards and 12 touchdowns. His 1,793 rushing yards ranked fifth in the NCAA FBS and marked the second-highest single-season total in MSU history. He led the NCAA FBS in carries (382) - the third-best singleseason total in school history and fourth highest in Big Ten record book. Bell accounted for 92 percent of Michigan State’s rushing yards (1,793 of 1,942) and 78 percent of its rushing attempts (382 of 492) in 2012. The 6-foot-2, 237pound Bell was one of just four players in the NCAA FBS to produce three 200-yard rushing games in 2012; he also became only the second Spartan to post three 200-yard rushing games in a season (Lorenzo White: school-record four times in 1985). Bell recorded eight 100-yard rushing games - the second-highest single-season total in MSU history. According to STATS, Bell gained 922 of his 1,793 rushing yards (51 percent) after contact, which ranked first among all NCAA FBS running backs, and broke 16 tackles. In addition, he produced 82 first downs and 34 runs of 10 or more yards, including 13 gains of 20 or more yards. Bell ranked second in the Big Ten and 14th in the NCAA FBS in all-purpose yards, averaging 155.7 yards per game. His 2,024 all-purpose yards marked the fourthhighest single-season total in Spartan history. He also ranked among the conference leaders in rushing TDs (tied for fourth with 12) and total offense (10th at 140.2 ypg.). A complete back, his 32 receptions (167 yards) ranked fifth on the team. The Columbus, Ohio, native produced the top single-game total in the NCAA FBS in 2012 for carries (44 vs. Boise State) and eighth-most rushing yards (266 vs. Minnesota). Bell was selected Offensive Player of the Game after accounting for 187 combined yards (rushing, passing and receiving) in the Spartans’ 17-16 come-from-behind victory over TCU in the 2012 Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl. He carried 32 times for 145 yards against the Horned Frogs, with 107 of those rushing yards coming in the second half including a 4-yard TD run that gave MSU its first lead at 14-13 with 7:00 left in the fourth quarter. His 32 rushing attempts and 145 rushing yards mark the fifth-highest single-game bowl totals in Spartan history. During the 2012 regular season, Bell was named Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week three times (Aug. 31 vs. Boise State; Sept. 22 vs. Eastern Michigan; Nov. 24 vs. Minnesota). He rushed 35 times for a career-high 266 yards - the most by a Big Ten player in 2012 and the sixthhighest total in MSU history - and a TD in MSU’s 26-10 win at Minnesota, as the Spartans became bowl eligible for a school record sixth-straight season. Bell earned Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week honors after rushing for 253 yards (36 carries) - the seventh most in Spartan history and a TD in MSU’s 23-7 victory over Eastern Michigan. He was named CBSSports.com’s Heisman Player of the Week and Big Ten Co-Offensive Player of the Week after rushing for 210 yards on a career-best 44 carries in MSU’s 17-13 victory over No. 24 Boise State in the season opener. Bell rushed for 3,346 yards and 33 TDs in 40 career games.

Greg Jones earned consensus AllAmerica honors as both a junior and senior, becoming the first Spartan to accomplish that feat in back-to-back seasons since defensive end Charles “Bubba” Smith and roverback George Webster in 1965-66. As a junior, Jones led the Big Ten and ranked third in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision with 154 tackles. In 2009, he earned First-Team All-America honors from The Associated Press, Football Writers Association of America, American Football Coaches Association, CollegeFootballNews.com, Rivals.com, CBSSports.com and Phil Steele. In addition, Jones was named recipient of the 2009 Linebacker Trophy (National Linebacker of the Year) by the College Football Performance Awards. He also was recognized as the nation’s No. 1 linebacker by CollegeFootballNews.com. As a junior, Jones ranked third in the NCAA FBS in tackles per game (11.8). The 2009 Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year finished among the conference leaders in sacks (fifth) and tackles for loss (10th). His 154 tackles marked the seventh-best single-season total in MSU history. Jones led the team in tackles (154 total), tackles for loss (14.0 for 69 yards), sacks (9.0 for 53 yards) and production points (282) as a junior. He reached double-figure tackles nine times in 2009, including a career-high 15 stops each vs. Central Michigan and Penn State. As a senior, the 6-foot-1, 240-pound Jones also became Michigan State’s ninth unanimous All-America selection and the first since wide receiver Charles Rogers in 2002. In 2010, he earned First-Team All-America honors from AP, Sporting News, FWAA, Walter Camp Football Foundation, AFCA, SI.com, CBSSports.com, Scout.com and Phil Steele. Jones was the only repeat selection from the 2009 AP All-America First Team. He became only the second Spartan player ever to earn AP First-Team All-America honors in backto-back seasons, joining Webster (1965-66). Jones also became MSU’s seventh three-time first-team All-Big Ten selection and the first since punter Brandon Fields (2003, 2004 and 2006). As a senior, he led the Spartans in tackles (106), tackles for loss (10 for 20 yards), forced fumbles (3), quarterback hurries (6) and production points (219). Jones became the first Spartan to reach the
100-tackle milestone in three straight seasons since Percy Snow (1987-89). The 2010 team MVP anchored a Spartan defensive unit that ranked fifth in the Big Ten and No. 37 in the NCAA FBS in rushing defense, allowing 133.7 yards per game. A model of consistency, Jones led the team in tackles in 31 of the last 39 games and became only the second player in MSU history to lead the Spartans in tackles for four-straight seasons (linebacker Dan Bass, 1976-79). The 2010 team MVP posted a season-high 14 stops in a 26-6 Homecoming victory over Illinois, earning Walter Camp National Defensive Player of the Week and Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week honors. Jones, who recorded two interceptions, four tackles and forced a fumble in MSU’s 45-7 victory over Northern Colorado, was named Big Ten Co-Defensive Player of the Week. The Cincinnati, Ohio, native started 46 of 52 career games, including 40 consecutive starting assignments. Jones made 465 career tackles, including 46.5 for losses (160 yards) and 16.5 sacks (93 yards).

Steve Juday was an All-America choice as picked by the Associated Press his senior year in 1965. He completed 89-of-168 pass attempts (.530) for 1,173 yards, the first MSU QB to pass for over 1,000 yards in a season, and seven TDs. Juday engineered a potent MSU offense that registered a conference-leading 29.0 points per game while directing the 1965 Spartans to a national championship as voted by UPI. He closed out his career as the school’s all-time leader in passing yardage, pass attempts, pass completions and touchdown passes. WALT KOWALCZYK #14 HB | 6-0 | 205 WESTFIELD, MASS. Walt Kowalczyk earned All-America honors as a senior in 1957 as chosen by The Sporting News, Football Writers Association, United Press, Newspaper Enterprise Association, Central Press, Football Coaches Association Kodak, Football Digest and NBC-TV.

Nicknamed “The Sprinting Blacksmith,” Kowalczyk’s biggest rushing game that year was a 113-yard effort against Michigan. He scored TDs in eight of the team’s nine contests and was third in the voting for the Heisman Trophy. Finished his career with 1,257 rushing yards and a total of 17 TDs. Drafted in the first round by the Philadelphia Eagles in 1958. BOB KULA #63 OT | 6-4 | 282 WEST BLOOMFIELD, MICH. The lone senior starter on the 1989 Spartan offensive line, Bob Kula’s leadership role helped develop that unit into one of the Big Ten’s finest by the end of the year. A Kodak and Associated Press All-American, Kula started all 12 games at left tackle and aided the Green and White to a No. 21 spot nationally in rushing offense (217.6 ypg.). In addition, he opened holes for MSU backs who accounted for a conference-leading 37 rushing TDs. A durable performer, Kula started the last 36 games of his career.

He started the ’52 season on the offensive line, but close calls in the first two games of the year prompted the Spartan coaching staff to move Kush back to his middle guard post. Combining excellent quickness and sound technique, he often disrupted opponent plays before they even got started. In a key game vs. Purdue, he recovered a fumble while his play helped limit the Boilermakers to just 31 rushing yards. He enjoyed a successful stint as head coach at Arizona State (1958-79) before coaching in the Canadian and National Football Leagues. He was inducted into the National Football Foundation College Hall of Fame in 1995. EARL LATTIMER #76 G | 5-11 | 218 DALLAS, TEXAS Earl Lattimer was an All-America choice as a senior in 1963 as picked by the New York News.

An all-around player who was a fine linebacker, he was named the Associated Press Lineman of the Week following a 30-13 shelling of No. 8 Wisconsin in which he helped the Spartans pile up 273 yards on the ground while holding the Badgers to just 29. Lattimer added to MSU’s scoring punch by booting three field goals including a then school-record 47-yarder on his first-ever attempt in a game vs. Northwestern. A crowd favorite, he often turned a somersault when running up to his spot on the offensive line. He was drafted by the Buffalo Bills in 1964. SHERM LEWIS #20 HB | 5-9 | 154 LOUISVILLE, KY. Sherm Lewis captured All-America status as a senior in 1963 as picked by the Associated Press, United Press, Central Press, Football Writers Association and the New York News.

In a game vs. Northwestern, he sprinted 87 yards for a TD, then the third-longest run in MSU history, and returned four punts 103 yards, earning him UPI’s Midwest Back of the Week honors. Named the team’s MVP in ’63, he finished third in the Heisman Trophy voting, making him just one of two MSU players ever to finish that high in the balloting. Lewis closed out his career No. 5 on the school’s career rushing list with 1,566 yards, No. 3 in total TDs (23) and third in total points (144) DEAN LOOK #24 QB | 5-10 | 175 LANSING, MICH.

In 2002, Rogers became only the second receiver in MSU history to record back-toback 1,000-yard seasons, joining Plaxico Burress who accomplished the feat in 1998-99. His receiving yards and TD catches represent the second-best single-season totals in Spartan history. Rogers led the Big Ten in receiving yards (112.6 per game) and TD receptions while ranking third in receptions (5.67 per game). He also ranked among the NCAA leaders in TD catches (third), receiving yards (eighth) and receptions (t-27th). Fifty-seven of his 68 receptions (84 percent) resulted in first downs. With his 21-yard TD reception in the second quarter vs. Northwestern (Sept. 28), Rogers set both NCAA and Big Ten records by catching a TD pass in his 13th-consecutive regular-season game and his 14th-straight game overall. The 6-foot-4, 205-pound junior from Saginaw, Michigan, had six 100-yard receiving games in 2002, tying the single-season mark he set as a sophomore. He had a season-best 175 yards vs. Notre Dame (seven catches). Rogers finished his career ranked among MSU’s all-time leaders in touchdown receptions (first with 27), receiving yards (second with 2,821), yards per catch (second at 20.9), receptions (third with 135) and scoring (12th with 174 points). He produced a school-record 12 career 100-yard receiving games, including a Spartan single-game record 270 yards vs. Fresno State (10 receptions) in the 2001 Silicon Valley Football Classic. Rogers accounted for 3,108 career all-purpose yards and his 29 career touchdowns rank seventh on MSU’s career chart. He was selected No. 2 overall by the Detroit Lions in the 2003 NFL Draft.
MIKE SADLER #3 P | 6-0 | 192 GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. Mike Sadler, a Ray Guy Award semifinalist, was named a first-team All-American by ESPN.com and CBSSports.com as a junior in 2013. A first-team All-Big Ten selection by the coaches for a second-straight year, Sadler became the fourth Spartan punter in school history to earn multiple first-team allconference honors (Brandon Fields, Greg Montgomery and Ray Stachowicz). Sadler was a valuable weapon on special teams, ranking fourth in the Big Ten in punting with his 42.5-yard average. He led the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision with 24 punts downed inside the 10-yard line (32 percent) and ranked second with 33 inside the 20 (43 percent).

He averaged 40.6 yards on seven punts, including four kicks placed inside the 10-yard line, in Michigan State’s 41-28 win at Nebraska. His 56-yard punt in the first quarter was fumbled away to the Spartans at the Nebraska 8 and led to MSU’s first touchdown. His 35-yard punt in the third quarter was downed by Kurtis Drummond at the Nebraska 1, and Tommy Armstrong Jr. fumbled on the next play, setting up another MSU touchdown. Midway through the fourth quarter, Sadler ran 3 yards on a fake field goal for a first down to set up Connor Cook’s 27-yard touchdown pass to Keith Mumphery. In the 29-6 victory over No. 23 Michigan, Sadler placed three of his five punts inside the 20, including two inside the 10. He was named the Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week for the third time in his career and also the College Football Performance Awards’ National Punter of the Week after averaging a career-best 59.2 yards on four punts in the win over Indiana, including a season-long 69 yarder in the fourth quarter; his 59.2-yard average established a Big Ten single-game record (minimum four punts). Sadler downed four of his seven punts inside the 20 against South Florida, including a career-high four inside the 10 and three inside the 5. Overall against the Bulls, he totaled seven punts for 319 yards (45.6 average). In the season opener against Western Michigan, Sadler placed a career-high six punts inside the 20 and tied his career high with 11 punts (38.5 avg.; 423 yards). Sadler also became the first player in program history to earn Academic All-America honors three times. A second-team selection in 2011 and 2012, Sadler garnered first-team accolades in 2013.

Another of MSU’s all-time greats, Bubba Smith brought home AllAmerica recognition as a junior in 1965 as chosen by the American Football Coaches Association, and UPI before being selected to nine different squads as a senior. During the ’65 season, he helped the Spartans rank No. 1 in the nation in rushing defense while playing a key role in holding Ohio State, Notre Dame and Michigan to minus rushing yards. At 6-foot-8, 280 pounds, his statistics of 30 tackles in 1966 (10 tackles for losses) don’t nearly represent his impact on opposing squads which either tried double- or tripleteaming him or running away from his side of the field. The UPI named him Lineman of the Year, and the Baltimore Colts made him the No. 1 pick overall in the 1967 NFL Draft. He went on to enjoy an eight-year pro career before being inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1988. In 1996, he was chosen to MSU’s Centennial Super

During that three-year span, the Spartans posted a 17-3 record in Big Ten games. As a junior, Washington earned All-America honors from The Football News, Football Digest and Central Press. In 1965, he hooked up with quarterback Steve Juday to establish career bests in receptions (40) and receiving yards (638). Washington also tied for the Big Ten lead in TD receptions (four) while ranking second in receiving yards (544) and fifth in receptions (30). He earned Lineman of the Week honors from Sports Illustrated after catching three TD passes against Indiana, as MSU scored 17 fourth-quarter points en route to a 27-13 victory to clinch the Big Ten championship and a trip to the Rose Bowl. Washington had a game-high four receptions for 81 yards against UCLA in the 1966 Rose Bowl. His 42-yard grab from Juday set up MSU’s first touchdown against the Bruins.

RETIRED JERSEY NUMBERS/ RING OF FAME Only four jersey numbers have been retired in the 117year 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 was added to the “Ring of Fame” prior to the Nov. 2, 2013, 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).

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.

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.

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.

Wayne Johnson threw three touchdown passes and Rodney Hampton scored three times to lead Georgia to a 34-27 win over Michigan State in the 1989 Gator Bowl. Georgia head coach Vince Dooley went out a winner in his final game in 25 seasons. The loss ended MSU’s six-game winning streak. The Bulldogs jumped out to a 17-0 lead on Johnson’s 6-yard TD toss to Hampton, Steve Crumley’s 39-yard field goal and Johnson’s 30-yard TD strike to Hampton. The Spartans got on the scoreboard late in the first half as Bobby McAllister finished off a 10-play, 80-yard drive with a 4-yard TD pass to Andre Rison. Midway through the third quarter, Georgia put together a six-play, 64-yard drive to extend its lead to 24-7 on Kirk Warner’s 18-yard TD catch from Johnson. MSU responded with an eight-play, 78-yard scoring drive as McAllister hit Rison with a 55-yard bomb. A 36-yard field goal by Crumley gave the Bulldogs a 27-13 advantage with 2:16 left in the third quarter. McAllister’s 51-yard completion to Rison set up Blake Ezor’s 3-yard TD run early in the fourth quarter as the Spartans pulled to within 27-20. Hampton’s third TD, a 32-yard run, gave Georgia a 34-20 lead with 11:58 remaining. Rison scored on a 50-yard pass from McAllister late in the fourth quarter but the Spartans’ rally fell short as Georgia controlled the clock for the final 3:42 of the game. The two teams combined for 855 total yards with the Spartans outgaining the Bulldogs, 446-409. Rison caught nine passes for 252 yards and three scores.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Dan Conroy hit a game-winning 47-yard field goal with 1:01 remaining in the fourth quarter as Michigan State defeated TCU, 17-16, in the 2012 Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl. Le’Veon Bell led all players with 145 yards rushing on 32 carries, including a 4-yard touchdown run, and was named the Offensive Player of the Game. William Gholston earned Defensive Player of the Game honors after leading MSU with a season-high nine tackles, including a 5-yard sack.

The Horned Frogs added to their lead after Jared Oberkrom connected on field goals of 47 and 31 yards in the second quarter. Michigan State got on the board with 34 seconds left in the third quarter as Connor Cook capped MSU’s longest touchdown drive of the season and longest in bowl history (14 plays, 90 yards) with his first career TD pass, a 15-yard strike to Aaron Burbridge. Trailing 13-7 midway through the fourth quarter, the Spartans took advantage of a crucial TCU turnover as RJ Williamson recovered a fumbled punt return by Skye Dawson at the TCU 4-yard line. Two plays later, Bell scored on a 4-yard run, giving MSU a 14-13 lead with 7:00 remaining. TCU regained the lead, 16-14, on Oberkrom’s 53-yard field goal with 2:42 left in the game, but Cook led MSU on an eight-play, 45-yard scoring drive capped by Conroy’s 47-yard field goal with just over a minute remaining.

2014 SPARTANS
Fourth-ranked Michigan State won its first Rose Bowl in 26 years and fourth in program history with a 24-20 comeback victory over fifth-ranked and defending Rose Bowl Champion Stanford in the 100th Rose Bowl Game. Connor Cook, who completed 22-of-36 passes for a career-high 332 yards to earn Offensive MVP honors, hit Tony Lippett with the gamewinning, 25-yard touchdown pass with 13:22 left in the fourth quarter that put Michigan State on top, 24-17. Stanford scored on the game’s opening drive as Tyler Gaffney’s 16-yard touchdown run capped a seven-play, 77-yard drive for the Cardinal. Jordan Williamson’s 34-yard field goal with 1:40 left in the first quarter extended Stanford’s lead to 10-0. The Spartans got on the board with 10:45 on the clock in the second quarter as Jeremy Langford’s 2-yard TD run cut MSU’s deficit to 10-7. Stanford pushed its advantage back to 10 points at 17-7 on a Kevin Anderson 40-yard interception return for a touchdown with 2:07 remaining in the second, but the Spartans quickly responded with a seven-play, 75-yard touchdown drive that concluded with a 2-yard pass from Connor Cook to Trevon Pendleton just 28 seconds before halftime. MSU tied the score at 17 on Michael Geiger’s 31-yard field goal with 12:56 left in the third quarter. A 19-yard punt return by Macgarrett Kings Jr. late in the third quarter gave Michigan State great field position on the Cardinal 27-yard line, and the Spartans took advantage as Cook found Lippett for a 25-yard TD pass on a third-and-8 play early in the fourth. Stanford trimmed the margin to 24-20 on a 39-yard field goal by Williamson with 4:15 remaining. The Cardinal got the ball one last time on its own 25-yard line with 3:06 to play, but couldn’t convert a first down, as Kyler Elsworth sealed the victory for MSU by leaping over the pile at the line of scrimmage and stopping fullback Ryan Hewitt on fourth-and-1. Elsworth, who collected four tackles including 1.5 for losses in his first career start at linebacker, was named the Rose Bowl Game Defensive MVP.

MICHIGAN STATE FOOTBALL • MSUSPARTANS.COM
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. He and his wife Nancy, have a daughter, Katy, and two sons, T.R. and Michael.
2014 ROSE BOWL CHAMPIONS • 2013 BIG TEN CHAMPIONS
THE UNIVERSITY
Fueled by six Big Ten Championships (regular season and tournament), which tied the department record, Michigan State placed 29th in the 2013-14 Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup standings, tied for the fourth best in department history and second highest under Hollis. Led by the Big Ten and Rose Bowl Championship football team, the Spartans closed the fall season at No. 2 in the Directors’ Cup. MSU won a school-record 13 games, finished No. 3 in both national
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
Future events Hollis designed include a 16-team men’s college basketball tournament with Nike-sponsored schools in Portland, Oregon, in November 2017 to celebrate Nike President Phil Knight’s 80th birthday, and a four-team, round-robin men’s college basketball barnstorming tour in December 2018 featuring MSU, Florida, North Carolina and Texas in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles.
On the playing field in 2012-13, Michigan State ranked 30th in the Directors’ Cup standings. In the fall, the football team appeared in its sixth consecutive 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 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 placed a school-record ninth at the NCAA Championships, and women’s track and field placed 18th at the NCAA Championships.
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 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 six 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.
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
Since his official appointment as athletics director began in 2008, the Spartans have won 25 Big Ten Championships (regular season and tournament), appeared in two Final Fours and six bowl games, and finished in the top 40 of the Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup five times. In addition, during Hollis’ tenure as an administrator at MSU, the Spartans have appeared in 17 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.
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, Michigan, 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 seven consecutive bowl appearances, two Big Ten Championships (2010, 2013) and a Rose Bowl Championship (2014). 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 six-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.
2013 RECAP
Hollis has more than 25 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 – including more than $100 million at Spartan Stadium – and will only continue to improve under Hollis. A $24.5 million project to the north end of Spartan Stadium was completed in August 2014 that features a two-story, 50,000-square-foot addition as well as an entrance plaza, renovated gates, and additional restrooms and concessions. The building includes new locker rooms for teams, coaches and officials, a media center, and an engagement center for all varsity sports. Former All-America offensive lineman Flozell Adams provided a leadership gift of $1.5 million for MSU’s new locker room, which is named in honor of his later mother, Rachel Adams. 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.
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.
COACHING STAFF
This is the vision Michigan State Athletics Director Mark Hollis has for Spartan Athletics. Hollis, who was named the 2012 Athletic Director of the Year by Street & Smith’s SportsBusiness Journal/Daily, is in his seventh year leading the MSU Athletics Department. He officially assumed the role of MSU’s 18th athletics director on Jan. 1, 2008, succeeding Ron Mason.
Michigan State had a banner year in 2010-11, winning five Big Ten Championships. The football team won a then schoolrecord 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 regularseason and tournament championships.
2014 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 seven consecutive semesters, Spartan student-athletes have posted better than a 3.0 cumulative grade-point average. Nearly 400 student-athletes (398) posted a cumulative GPA above 3.0 in the spring semester of 2014, marking the second-highest total in the history of the department, and 17 teams also reached that mark. Additionally, 268 studentathletes earned Academic All-Big Ten honors throughout the 2013-14 academic year, including 59 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. The graduation success rate under Hollis is a remarkable 87 percent.
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 winning 11 games, 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 Directors’ Cup standings.

SPARTAN STADIUM

Spartan Stadium is in its 91st season as home to Michigan State football. Since its opening in 1923, Michigan State has won 70 percent of its games played in Spartan Stadium. The Spartans hosted 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. In just the past two years, more than $34 million has been committed to upgrading the 91-year-old facility to continually enhance the gameday atmosphere.
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.
In June 2013, the Michigan State Board of Trustees approved a $24.5 million project to the north end of Spartan Stadium that opened in August 2014. The new structure features a two-story, 50,000-square-foot addition as well as an entrance plaza, renovated gates, and additional restrooms and concessions. The building includes 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-squarefoot engagement center for all varsity sports. Former All-America offensive lineman Flozell Adams provided a leadership gift of $1.5 million for MSU’s new locker room, which is named in honor of his later mother, Rachel Adams.
On Oct. 6, 2001, Spartan Stadium added another chapter to its storied history as a then world-record crowd of 74,554 attended the MSU-Michigan outdoor hockey game.
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. In July 2014, ESPN named Spartan Stadium’s south end zone scoreboard among the Top 10 in the nation at No. 9. 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.
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.
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 343-147-13 record (.695) since taking up residency in Spartan Stadium (formerly Macklin Field) in 1923. The Spartans have gone undefeated at home 19 times since the stadium opened in 1923, including three times under current MSU head coach Mark Dantonio (2010, 2011, 2013). 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 at Spartan Stadium is 19 games from Oct. 14, 1950, through Nov. 21, 1953.
Barton Malow/Clark served as the construction manager for the Spartan Stadium expansion project, with HNTB providing architectural services. 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, Colorado, is comprised of a blend of four varieties of Kentucky bluegrass. The installation of the new sod, transported to Spartan Stadium in 26 refrigerator trucks, took three days (July 12-15). Spartan Stadium, which officially opened in 1923 at its current location, featured a natural grass playing surface until artificial turf was installed in 1969. The stadium returned to natural grass for the 2002 season. In 2005, the natural grass playing surface in Spartan Stadium earned Field of the Year honors from the Sports Turf Managers Association (STMA). Prior to the 2002 season, ESPN.com’s Mel Kiper Jr. ranked Spartan Stadium No. 8 on his list of the nation’s most scenic venues. Natural grass returned to Spartan Stadium in 2002 after a 33-year absence, with the installation of a modular field. The 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 161 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 58 seasons, including 20th in 2013, averaging 72,328 fans per game. The Spartans ranked 19th in the NCAA in total attendance in 2013 as 506,294 fans went through the turnstiles for seven home games, including a season-high 76,306 vs. Michigan on Nov. 2.

BOWL INFORMATION/SCHEDULE

College Football Playoff Coming in 2014-15 On June 26, 2012, the BCS Presidential Oversight Committee agreed to launch a four-team playoff beginning with the 2014-15 season. The format is simple: the best four teams, two semifinals played in bowl games and a championship game played in a different city each year. It’s the best of all worlds and the biggest innovation in the sport in decades. 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 10 conferences and rotated among neutral sites every year, will be played on a Monday at least six days after the last semifinal game. 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 AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Every Game Counts The new playoff preserves the excitement and significance of college football’s unique regular season where every game counts. The Best Four Teams The selection committee will choose the four teams for the playoff based on body of work, strength of schedule, head-to-head results, comparison of results against common opponents, championships won and other factors. A New Year’s Spectacular Fans will enjoy back-to-back tripleheaders. Two semifinals and four other premier bowl games will be played on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. Those holidays will belong to college football. Semifinal games will rotate among six different bowls, extending the experience to more fans. Site Selection The Management Committee will select cities to host the National Championship Game. A city can host a bowl game and the championship game in the same year. A city cannot, however, host a semifinal and championship game in the same year. Universal Access Every FBS team will have equal access to the playoff based on its performance. No team will qualify automatically. More Revenue The popularity of the new format will increase revenue for all conferences and independent institutions. Conferences Manage the Event The FBS conferences will manage the College Football Playoff. All 10 conferences are members of the new entity - CFP Administration, LLC. University presidents and chancellors from all 10 conferences and Notre Dame form the Board of Managers and will govern the administrative operations, with commissioners (the Management Committee) managing the event with guidance from an advisory group of athletics directors. A small staff in the playoff’s office in Irving, Texas, will carry out the details responsibilities. Selection Committee A talented group of high-integrity individuals with experience as coaches, student-athletes, collegiate administators and journalists, along with sitting athletics directors,
comprise the selection committee. The group will meet in person several times a year.
BIG TEN BOWL SCHEDULE
Selection Committee Responsibilities • Select the top four teams for the playoff, rank them and assign them to semifinal sites. • Rank the next group of teams to play in other New Year’s bowls if berths are available. • Select the highest-ranked champion from the five conferences without New Year’s bowl contracts. • Assign teams to New Year’s bowls - Create competitive matchups - Attempt to avoid rematches of regular-season games and repeat appearances - Consider geography Participants in the Orange, Rose and Sugar Bowls Both participants in these three bowls are contracted outside the playoff arrangement (Big Ten and Pac-12 to Rose Bowl; SEC and Big 12 to Sugar Bowl; ACC to Orange Bowl against a contracted opponent). If a conference champion qualifies for the playoff, then the bowl will choose a replacement from that conference. When those bowls host the semifinals and their contracted champions do not qualify, then the displaced champion(s) will play in the other New Year’s bowls. Participants in the New Year’s Bowls (Fiesta, Cotton, Atlanta) • Displaced conference champions and the top-ranked champion from a non-contract conference. • Highest-ranked available teams will fill any other berths. • The selection committee will make the pairings.
