Dallas — No chance, right? There was no chance some unheralded kid from Ohio would become the greatest quarterback in Michigan State history. Just like there was no chance a walk-on would become a premier offensive tackle, or an undersized defensive end would become a big-play star.
No chance, huh? Anyone who still perceives the Spartans that way hasn’t been paying attention. They’ll get their shot against mighty Alabama in the Cotton Bowl, and one of the main reasons they have a chance is the former no-chance quarterback who doesn’t really care what people say or think.
