Newsworthy-Dantonio will Coach vs. Michigan

Michigan State football head coach Mike Dantonio is making it a point that he is returning for the in state showdown against Michigan on Saturday. Michigan is of course led by high powered Heisman candidate Denard Robinson, and this game is set to be a heavyweight battle.

Dantonio, who suffered a mild heart attack Sept. 19 and underwent surgery, had planned to coach from the press box last Saturday for the Wisconsin game. But a blood clot discovered Thursday during a routine post-operative examination forced him to return to the hospital.

For Michigan State, a game against Michigan is unlike any other on their schedule. He had to return to the hospital after the heart attack because of a blood clot; and despite being released from the hospital Monday, it seems he hasn't lost a step.

"I feel outstanding," Dantonio said. "I was restricted because of the clot, so all day Sunday and all day Monday I watched film. From that standpoint, I've been able to be sort of secluded. I'm back in the office now.
