Early in the second half of Michigan State’s spring game this past weekend, offensive guard David Beedle lined up in the backfield, took a handoff and then pitched it back to his quarterback for a flea-flicker. Two players later, senior safety Demetrious Cox took a snap out of shotgun and charged forward for 4 yards.
The reaction in the press box and from many of the 51,000 reported spectators was less a sense of shock and more of a bemused, "Was wondering when they were going to get to that stuff." Mark Dantonio’s staff has a history of having a little fun on days like Saturday.
