INDIANAPOLIS -- We can now add something to the list of Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio’s many talents: He’s a proven fortune teller.
Spartans athletic director Mark Hollis is familiar with this trait. With about two minutes left in Saturday’s 16-13 win over Iowa in the Big Ten title game, in the middle of an already-legendary 22-play, game-winning drive, Hollis said Dantonio gave him a knowing glance.
“I’m like, ‘OK, we’re good,’” Hollis said. “And unbelievably, we went down and scored.”
Dantonio has presaged his team’s events before. At the team banquet following the 2012 season, he told his returning players that “you will be the ones” who lead the program to a championship.
