Spartan Warrior Award Goes to Puking Tackle | Michigan State Spartans Football News

Michigan State’s coach Pat Fitzgerald just debuted the “Spartan Warrior” award — and the first recipient? Robert Wright Jr., who literally threw up during a two-point conversion but stayed in the play, blocked his assignment, and helped secure the score. Fitzgerald called it a “puke and rally,” praising Wright’s grit over his nausea — and revealed this isn’t even Wright’s first time pulling off something heroic while sick (he did it at Georgia Southern too, though nobody noticed then). This moment perfectly embodies Fitzgerald’s tough, no-excuses philosophy for the team — and sets an unforgettable, if slightly pungent, bar for future winners.
