The massive Big Ten championship ring on LJ Scott's left hand was a reminder of his impact.
After breaking a tackle, the Michigan State running back dragged a trio of defenders toward the end zone before stretching the ball across the goal line.
The 1-yard touchdown run in the final minute lifted Michigan State to a 16-13 victory against Iowa in the 2015 Big Ten championship and earned the Spartans a spot in the College Football Playoff. It capped an iconic 22-play drive in which Scott, then just a true freshman, had 14 carries.
Most athletes could only dream of having that career highlight.
