Early in the fourth quarter of MSU football’s 17-16 senior day loss to No. 2 Ohio State University, MSU head coach Mark Dantonio reached into his bag of tricks and pulled out a fake punt — one where junior linebacker Chris Frey took the direct snap and ran 25 yards down the sideline for a first down.
After the play, as many Spartans celebrated on the sidelines and in the stands, a number of players did something else. They raised their hands and pointed their fingers to the sky.
Those 25 yards ran by Frey are extremely symbolic.
