Last year’s battle for the Land Grant Trophy came down to a last second field goal by Matt Coghlin, who nailed both the kick and the celebration, and gave the Spartans their signature win of the season. This year the Spartans are on the road and once again looking for a season defining victory. If the game is close like last year, the special teams will play a big role.

Matt Coghlin made a pair of field goals in last week’s loss to Northwestern, giving him 16 straight makes dating back to last season.
