EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- Aaron Bates threw a 29-yard touchdown pass to Charlie Gantt on an audacious fake field goal in overtime, giving Michigan State a 34-31 victory over Notre Dame on Saturday night.

With Dan Conroy lining up for a 46-yard attempt to tie the game in the first overtime, Bates took the snap, stood up and had time to wait for Gantt to come open downfield. Gantt caught the pass for an easy touchdown, giving the Spartans (3-0) the victory and a measure of revenge for a heartbreaking 33-30 loss in South Bend last season.

David Ruffer had given the Irish (1-2) the lead with a 33-yard field goal on Notre Dame's overtime possession.

What a 'barn-burner', this one. Good game ND, way to 'get it done' MSU!

And that's how you do it. You think outside the box.

Coach's that do it, win. The rest stay on the porch.

Like this:

With just 47 seconds to work with, Mallett took Arkansas 73 yards in just three plays. He connected with senior tight end D.J. Williams twice over the middle, the first for 18 yards and the next for 15 to the UG 40 yard line.

Without using a time out, Mallett brought Arkansas to the line and spied Greg Childs down the right sideline. Childs made one move to shake his defender and broke for the end zone and the game winner with 14 seconds to play.

9 of 10 coaches would've called a time out and iced their team, giving the defense time to rest/set up.

Check this out. I didn't even know this had happened until browsing the AP wire.

Michigan St. coach Dantonio hospitalized after win

EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio had a mild heart attack and was hospitalized Sunday morning, shortly after calling an audacious fake field goal to beat Notre Dame in overtime.

The 54-year-old Dantonio had surgery to put a stent in a blocked blood vessel leading to the heart. He's expected to remain in the hospital a few more days, and offensive coordinator Don Treadwell will lead the team during Dantonio's indefinite absence.

"This morning, in the very early hours, not long after the football game, coach Dantonio began experiencing some symptoms," said Dr. Chris D'Haem, who performed the relatively common procedure to restore blood flow. "Fortunately, his heart damage is very minimal. He's going to do very well and we're very optimistic he'll have a full recovery."

The Spartans defeated Notre Dame 34-31 in a game that ended just before midnight Saturday night. After Michigan State lined up for a 46-yard field goal that could have forced a second overtime, holder Aaron Bates threw a pass to Charlie Gantt for a touchdown to win the game.

D'Haem said Dantonio began experiencing symptoms around 12:30 a.m., including a squeezing sensation in his chest.

"Fortunately, he got in in a very timely fashion," D'Haem said.

The victory was among the signature moments of the young college football season, and it put Michigan State in this week's Associated Press poll at No. 25.

"This is a time for Spartan Nation to rally around Coach D and the football program," athletic director Mark Hollis said during an afternoon news conference. "We all look forward to his return to the sidelines. The thoughts of the entire Spartan family are with Coach D, his wife Becky and his daughters Kristen and Lauren."

Dantonio certainly isn't the first high-profile coach to experience health problems.

Florida coach Urban Meyer was hospitalized with chest pains in December after his Gators lost the Southeastern Conference championship game to Alabama. A couple weeks later, Meyer resigned citing health concerns, but less than 24 hours later, he took back his resignation.

Meyer was diagnosed with esophageal spasms and has taken medication.

Notre Dame's staff was also hit by health problems recently when defensive line coach and special teams coordinator Mike Elston was hospitalized for a viral illness. Irish coach Brian Kelly began his news conference Sunday by wishing Dantonio well.

"On behalf of the Notre Dame family we are in thoughts and prayers for Coach Dantonio and wish him a speedy recovery. Look forward to seeing him back on the sidelines," Kelly said. "We didn't get in until about quarter of four this morning. I went home right away. When I came back in the office Brian Hardin, our sports information director, gave me the news."

D'Haem said heredity can play a part in heart problems, but noted that Dantonio kept in good shape and tracked factors such as cholesterol that can lead to health issues.

"Everybody that knows coach Dantonio knows he keeps pretty fit," the doctor said.

When Dantonio got to the hospital, "his immediate concern was to his family and then to the football program," Hollis said.

Dantonio is in his fourth season at Michigan State, with a record of 25-17 and three bowl appearances. But the victory on Saturday night might have been his most memorable, because of the opponent and the direct role he played in the outcome.

"Like we said all along, we needed one big momentum play. We just didn't know when it would come," Dantonio said after the game. "I don't really know where to start or end, but it was a big night for the Spartans."

Treadwell is in his seventh season on the Michigan State staff. He coached receivers from 2000-02 and has been the offensive coordinator since 2007, when Dantonio arrived in East Lansing after a successful three years at Cincinnati.

"There's some great carry-over that's already in place, and we will just fill the gaps, as you will," Treadwell said. "We look very forward to Mark's speedy recovery."

The Spartans host Northern Colorado on Saturday.

"They're handling it as well as they can. They love their head coach," Treadwell said of the team, which learned the news Sunday. "It's our job as assistant coaches just to keep them moving forward, to keep them focused on task."

Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
