9/18/2010 - Michigan State 34 Notre Dame 31

[@andersport]

that play set the motion for the current success of Michigan State football.

[@MichaelClark-uw7ex]

Jim Tressel suggesting Dantonio, when they asked him who would be a good head coach, that was the best thing that ever happened to MSU football.

[@paulcaruso1]

I was there. I cried when it happened.

[@TheStephenOliver]

I was there. I'll keep coming back to relive the moment.

[@topay]

Notre Dame - Michigan State: Best finish of 2010 Mark Dantonio and "Little Giants": gutsiest call Brad Nessler: most ironic statement ("it'll be a pretty good night for Mark Dantonio") [hours before Coach D had a heart attack...glad to see he came out of it OK]

[@dacrazedtoews10]

at 6:49, dantoni is telling him the play, and look at how they walk away from him nervous about the play. and then at 8:52 the announcer said it will be a good night for dantonio, and later that night, he had a heart attck.

[@MusicBent]

I watched live. It almost gave me a heart attack too!

[@billyidol2115]

Good Lord Edwin Baker, Le'Veon Bell, Kirk Cousins, this was a damn good team I'm amazed that they didn't get to the Rose Bowl and maybe sniff a BCS National Championship they had such talent on that field it was obvious

[@amurizon]

Watching this in 2018 before this Saturday's rivalry game. Never gets old. GO GREEN!

[@jwfmsu1990]

Notice how #24 for MSU, true freshman Le'veon Bell, plows down two of Fighting Irish during the fake FG play.

[@daviddabbs2474]

Ur right i never caught that...GO GREEN

[@mcfeeley15]

We got revenge last year, and excited for one of my favorite games of the year tonight, Go Irish!

[@bsu-xw1ln]

As an ND fan this was a heartbreaker but expected with it being BK’s first year. The Irish have fared pretty well against Sparty ever since this game. Glad this rivalry is being revived!

[@RochelleXing]

That fake FG was awesome! #spartynation

[@PantstofryPWNZ]

As an MSU fan, I'll say good work beating us this year. no need to be sour, but you've got to admit, that was an amazing play and exciting finish to a game. I don't get why you're so hostile, we had an amazing year last year too.

[@tfewald01]

Followed that night by Coach D's heart attack. Glad for the the football victory but much gladder Coach D survived the night.

[@BlueshirtFan4Ever]

MICHIGAN STATE WINS IT IN OVERTIME!!! THE CALL OF THE YEAR!!!

[@Knightmessenger]

I wish you included the opening graphic ESPN unveiled for 2010 since this game used their BCS music.

[@Carlofhistory4]

what a thrill to be there and see that win

[@Bloodrozer]

You didnt get garbage- this was one of best plays in college football history. MSU outlasted, outplayed and downright outsmarted ND.

[@lylemoore3827]

I loved these unis

[@sbplaya66]

Another gem, Andy

[@TheVCRTimeMachine]

You can see Dantonio telling them "Little Giants" before he sends them out.

[@occlude32]

funny thing is, the guy who was covering bell actually held him, then pulled him down INTO the other defender who was covering Gant, making him fall and leaving Gant wide open.

[@notredameandcoltsfan]

GOO BLUE GOOO GOLD. I love seeing those gold helmets

[@doctorstork]

Excellent copy of an excellent game.

[@mfreemanflynn]

Kind of a nice counter-statement to the 1966 "play for a tie" directive by ND... Welcome to Spartan Stadium now bitches...

[@swalte6325]

You honestly make THE best videos. GO GREEN!

[@TommonSensePro]

@mikeyklaus I don't want to watch all of it, but where does he say it?

[@cjennings2876]

this game was going back and forth

[@colerankin32]

9 years ago today !

[@Cosmigetstudios]

u could make an argument that this was the best game of 2010

[@daultontansil5138]

I was at this game and nobody saw the ending come the way it did.

[@MichaelClark-uw7ex]

Look at how many of those MSU players that went on to be stars in the NFL, Notre Dame...not so much. Kelly turned to his assistant and asked "what happened?"

[@notredameandcoltsfan]

We got more NFL draft picks than them but whatever

[@MichaelClark-uw7ex]

@@notredameandcoltsfan Many get drafted but few become stars.

[@notredameandcoltsfan]

HE GONE! Thanks Andy!

[@dmccarthy37]

Man... how much did Rouse walking out there remind everyone else of Amp Cambell?

[@kmbmakz3]

14 years later and I’m still pissed about this one.

[@swalte6325]

@notredameswarrior1 Notice the uploader's name. MSU is the very first part of it.

[@christianschneider6538]

Absolutely crazy game. Don't believe me? Mark D'Antonio had a fucking heart attack later that night.

[@spicyoctopus]

5:55 - you're welcome

[@vccraft]

I love jack ebling, a writer, sneaking in on the espn interview like a creeper

[@wolverinefangowings]

7:37....brian kelly: they can do that?? other coach: sorry you ain't in the big east anymore

[@FrankeeFraud]

Spartans should have lost; they didn't get final play off in time! At 7:22, you'll notice there was NO time left on thirty-second clock, and penalty should have been called. How come I'm the only one to notice this?

[@secretasian-man6107]

I was sitting on front of the fire at home when this happened, all before I started getting drunk or high.

[@ChicagoZach]

any1 know how long gordon is out?

[@Lettich3407]

They're not going to call a flag on Le'veon Bell for taking out two DLs, unless you're talking about another player with the same number. Yes, your previous post sounded like you were complaining.

[@LOYADable]

max bullough looks at dantonio like wtf you mean little giants

[@notredameswarrior1]

weres all the nd plays...

[@acae1]

Josh Rouse is 44 not 54

[@TheElipeters]

when the place kicker catches the ball, isn't his knee on the ground???

[@TommonSensePro]

place kicker? The kicker never catches the ball.

[@Davecm008]

@LedZiphell420 not spelling obviously.

[@amaanthasin1793]

You guys can't hate on state, to be honest they suck now but state still won!

[@notredameswarrior1]

@jelpen2013 the espn clock never lies! stadium clocks do.....so dont tell me

[@controldekinai]

@notredameswarrior1 awwwwwww someone sounds bitter! let me break it down for you: between one second and two seconds, there are these things called hundredths of seconds. get this: they are also in between the numbers 0 and 1. It counts as a full second. The refs know this which is why it wasn't called. No cheating. You lost. You got beat and in dramatic fashion, too. And I laaaaaaughed and laaaaughed and laaaaughed.

[@cjennings2876]

Was at that game in section 3 That fake FG play developed right in front of me!

[@BlueshirtFan4Ever]

I know. I was going for them to beat Alabama earlier this year but they failed big time.

[@Bradley94belletire]

didnt msu win 10 out of the last 14?

[@Lettich3407]

Did ND beat Michigan like Michigan State did for the past four years?

[@Lettich3407]

It's not the official play clock.

[@samzclubboos]

What the heck is that sound at 7:52

[@bestcoastsxmcp]

I was there. ✔️

[@mrdandy-tutorialsgameplay6869]

Why can’t Kirk cousins scramble like this in the NFL

[@seansullivan794]

the unofficial play clock. It can say 10 million and it wouldnt mean a thing, because its UNOFFICIAL.

[@cjennings2876]

"up in detroit" lol i guess these people that work for ESPN don't own a map! it's down in detroit not up!

[@notredameswarrior1]

Ah. Who won this past year?!

[@natebellville3621]

Little Giants!

[@hunterjd]

If that mattered then no field goals would count. @Eli Peters

[@FrankeeFraud]

Who's complaining? I couldn't care less WHICH team won, the game was OVER! I just wish announcers gave credit to number 24, who took out TWO DLs with ONE block! I hope the local papers pointed this out at the time.

[@crimson8673]

hate to be that guy but there should have been a delay of game call

[@seanwalters8105]

Nope, all that matters is the time on the head ref's watch. Teams have until he blows the whistle from the time on his watch to run a play, regardless of what ESPN's clock or even the stadium clock say. this play was also reviewed after the game and no fault was found with the call.

[@crimson8673]

+Sean Walters O. Thanks man didn't know that rule.

[@seanwalters8105]

+Michael Patten Yeah, football seems to have a lot of little random rules haha

[@cjennings2876]

i was at this game and the fake fg happened in front of me in section 3!

[@UnexpectedFlashy]

I'ma Michigan fan but I love to see Notre Dame lose at the last second

[@notredameandcoltsfan]

Wait MSU was actually good?

[@amaanthasin1793]

State is great

[@Bradley94belletire]

2:18 you could here Brian Kelly go to Dayne Crist, Come here, Come here, What are you doing.

[@SeveredLegs]

Look at those brown ND helmets lol.

[@725JJB]

What the fuck the play clock ran out

[@markcornele2345]

Knock, knock??-- who's there? Ohio state!! Ohio state who?? Ohio state, big 10 Champions!! BAM!!!!!!!

[@kentaviouscaldwell-goat5880]

Mark Cornele how are those playoffs going?

[@markcornele2345]

Kentavious Caldwell-GOAT don't know was to Busy winning the Big Ten championship game

[@Sour129]

Wow this is when sparty was good lol, Go Blue

[@Lettich3407]

Stop acting like poor sport and think about what you say before you decide to post on here of what sounds pretty typical of course, and besides ESPN is not the official play clock according to the play clock rules. It's the scoreboard, not the company of a TV show or channel referees don't rely on.

[@Julian5670]

Notre Dame was the worst 12-0 team I have ever seen

[@notredameswarrior1]

weres all the nd plays.....and was it me or on the fake field goal didnt the play clock it double 0 about 2 seconds before they snaped the ball??? sorry were better than you that you have to cheat

[@Lettich3407]

Ah, not staying on the topic I see.

[@Lettich3407]

I've said it once, and I'm going to say it again. That ESPN clock is not the clock the referees are relying on just because the clock went all zero on that one, but the other one on the scoreboard had about 0.81 under ten of a second left of expiration is the actual clock. Live with the facts and stop complaining because its getting real old. To be honest it doesn't really matter.

[@johnjfaber11]

Delay of game and pass interference

[@robi1689]

The play clock was out of time before the snap!

[@kenbhardwaj]

if you actually watch college football, analysts and referees have literally explained thousands of times, "If the refs see the play clock at zero, then they look up and the ball is being snapped one second later, it is not a delay of game!!!"

[@Lettich3407]

msu

[@johnabood1090]

Delay of game...

[@Cowtipper4957]

The actual game clock and the clock on the tv arent always in sync.

[@topdogg757]

Gosh, ND defense sucks!!!!!!

[@coolgriff]

you dont know football

[@jazzalex22]

Final score OT: Refs 34, Notre Dame 31

[@grumpypoof9648]

This has been explained to death over and over. The referee looks at the clock and when it hits zero he looks at the ball and if it's moving, then it's not delay of game. That was explained in this game right away, and it's been explained in a lot of other games too.
