CHICAGO — A tug-of-war battle delivered the latest catch phrase for Michigan State’s football program.
Heave.
“We have all these different workouts and we had a tug of war going on, and all of a sudden the one team was sort of outmatched and (senior linebacker) Andrew Dowell started calling out, ‘Heave! Heave!’ And everybody started pulling in unison in one direction,” MSU coach Mark Dantonio said Tuesday at Big Ten media days.
