Fullback Trevon Pendleton's rise from the scout team

Down 14-23 against the University of Michigan with hope starting to fade for the Spartans, senior quarterback Connor Cook hit one of his more unlikely targets for a season-saving play.

The Spartans had to score quick to stay in the game and, during the first play of their drive, Cook hit wide open senior fullback Trevon Pendleton, who took the ball 74-and-a-half yards and falling just short of a touchdown.

When asked whether he thought a fat guy should just be given the touchdown at that point, Pendleton asked, "I'm a fat guy now?" before eventually stating that he believed he scored.
