Twenty years ago, Michigan State began its march to the Rose Bowl..... the last Rose Bowl the Spartans played in. Ironically, their season began against which it ended - the University of Southern California Trojans.
In the first night game ever played in Spartan Stadium, MSU ended USC's 17-game winning streak against Big Ten teams with a 27-13 win over the 19th-ranked Trojans. Lorenzo White lead the ground attack, piling up 111 yards and two touchdowns, which quarterback Bobby McAllister accounted for 163 total yards including a 9-yard touchdown run.
The game, billed as the "Great American Football Celebration" was Michigan State's first prime time appearance.

Don't know if you are still around and blogging, but I am searching for the large framed photo which was available following the 1987 MSU win over Indiana which clinched the Big Ten championship. It was of the after-game celebration on the field. Trying to find it for my daughter who is in the photo.
