Michigan State's Jalen Watts-Jackson wouldn't change a thing

Even now, more than two months after his starring role in one of the most incredible endings in college football history, it's difficult for Jalen Watts-Jackson to describe the gamut of emotions.

He thinks about it for a few seconds. He starts to speak, mutters something, and then says very clearly, "Bittersweet."

Watts-Jackson just started walking again on his own last week. He has ditched the walker and the crutches. But he's still months away from being able to play football again after dislocating and fracturing his left hip on Oct. 17 in the Spartans' stunning 27-23 win over Michigan.
