If you would have told Tyler Hunt before the season that he was going to score Michigan State’s first rushing touchdown this season, he likely would have laughed in your face.
Forget the fact he’s a walk-on former punter turned tight end, but he wasn’t buying the idea of a tight end getting the ball in the backfield.
But there was Hunt, lined up on the left side of the formation as Michigan State faced and third-and-goal at the 1-yard line last month at Iowa. Hunt went in motion to his right, took the ball from quarterback Rocky Lombardi, got around a pair defensive linemen that had pushed into the backfield and then dove for the pylon.
