There have been times this season when Rocky Lombardi and Jalen Nailor haven't been on the same page, with disastrous results.
And then there have been moments of utter aerial beauty, a quarterback using all of his arm strength and a receiver using all of his speed to connect on a deep pass that jolts Michigan State football’s offense.
“It’s a real momentum-changer,” Nailor said Wednesday. “Just knowing that the offense might not be clicking, hit a deep ball, we’ve got momentum there. It just hypes the whole team up, just making a deep play, knowing that we have a great chance of scoring from there.
