Nick Saban didn’t experience much success in his first four seasons at Michigan State (25-22-1), but notched one of the greatest upsets in recent Big Ten history in 1998.
His unranked, 4-4 Spartans were four-touchdown underdogs when they traveled to Columbus to take on the undefeated Buckeyes.
But Michigan State hung tight and was clinging to a 28-24 lead with less than 90 seconds left. The game came down to a 4th-and-10 for Ohio State at Michigan State’s 15-yard-line, where the Spartans’ Renaldo Hill picked off QB Joe Germaine in the end zone to seal the massive upset.
Michigan State will once more try to spoil Ohio State’s undefeated season with an upset at the Horseshoe this Saturday.
