The Michigan State football program held its weekly assistant coach/player media availability on Tuesday.
Offensive coordinator Jay Johnson spoke first, starting off by answering questions about the run play prior to the team’s missed field goal at the end of regulation in the double overtime loss to Indiana. Johnson said although the coaches were mindful of the situation and wanted to put their kicker in as good a spot as possible, the Spartans were focused on getting into the end zone as well.
“It was a combination of both,” Johnson said of the decision to go for the touchdown or play for the field goal.
