Michigan State tight end Jamal Lyles made a deal with his coaches heading into his final spring game as a Spartan. They promised that for every catch he made on offense, he’d get a chance to play one snap on defense.
On the fourth play of the game, Lyles pulled in a 23-yard corner route from quarterback Tyler O'Connor and defensive coordinator Mike Tressel made good on his end of the bargain. Lyles lined up at defensive end the next series and prompted to track down starting running back L.J. Scott with a big stick nine yards deep in the backfield.
