Coach Dantonio suffers a mild heart attack after a thrilling win over Notre Dame
Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio made one of the gutsiest calls Saturday night when his team lined up for a 46 yard field goal to force a second overtime against the Fighting Irish. Rather than attempting the game tying field goal, he called for the holder to take the snap and toss a TD pass to tight end Charlie Gantt for the thrilling 34-31 victory.
The down side of the win was coach Dantonio was hospitalized early Sunday morning after suffering a mild heart attack. Dantonio was taken to Sparrow Hospital where a stent was inserted to block a blood vessel that leads to his heart. Though Dantonio is expected to make a full recovery, he is being hospitalized for observation. During Dantonio’s recovery, offensive coordinator Don Treadwell will call the shots.
Here is the replay of the audacious play.
