Spartans outlast Stanford in 100th Rose Bowl

Dream big. That was MSU head football coach Mark Dantonio's simple mantra for his team this season. The Spartan football program's dream was realized last night with its 24-20 victory over Stanford in the 100th Rose Bowl.  

We call southern California to recap the game and the atmosphere with Current Sports host Al Martin, Current State host Mark Bashore, and Scott Westerman, executive director of the MSU Alumni Association.
