First-year head coach Pat Fitzgerald joined in one one of Michigan State’s most famous traditions ahead of the season-opener. Set to face Toledo with an 8 p.m. kick, Michigan State football arrived at the Spartan statue around 5:40 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 4. College football is back in East Lansing. Each game, players and coaches touch the Spartan statue, leave a penny, or both and make the walk down to Spartan Stadium. The Spartan Walk –– a tradition that’s been around since the Duffy Daughetry-era. In his first game as Michigan State’s head coach, Fitzgerald left a penny at hte statue and led his team on the walk. He stopped to greet new athletic director Dan Bartholomae on the way.(Devin Anderson-Torrez | MLive.com)
