EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio had a heart attack late Saturday night after his team's overtime victory against Notre Dame.
Dantonio, who was "resting comfortably" Sunday and expected to make a full recovery, was admitted to the emergency room at Sparrow Hospital and had a stent put in a blocked artery near his heart not long after the Spartans used an audacious fake field goal to win 34-31.
Dantonio will be out indefinitely and offensive coordinator Don Treadwill will coach in his absence. Dantonio will remain hospitalized for several days. The No. 25 Spartans play Northern Colorado on Saturday.
Dantonio, 54, had no known history of heart problems, but college football has been known to take a toll on the health of its coaches.
