Field Goal Gamble Pays MSU Breaks Bowl Bank
In the Rose Bowl at Pasadena on Monday, Michigan State rallied to a 17 14 win over UCLA after sophomore end Dave Kaiser booted a 41 yard field goal as time expired. Kaiser had not scored a FG all season prior to this kick with seven seconds remaining after a Planutis miss and late penalties shifted the ball to MSU. The win gives the Big Ten nine victories in 10 PAC 8 tilt results.
