EAST LANSING, Mich. – For the second time in his career, sophomore placekicker Matt Coghlin has been named the Big Ten Co-Special Teams Player of the Week.
Coghlin scored on a 6-yard touchdown run on a fake field goal in the third quarter to give MSU a 28-7 lead over Indiana, becoming the first Spartan to score a touchdown and then kick the PAT on his own TD since Sam Williams in 1958 against Wisconsin.
Coghlin connected on all five of his PATs in MSU's 35-21 win at Indiana.
The Cincinnati, Ohio, native is tied for first in the Big Ten in scoring (10.0 ppg), field-goal percentage (1.000; 5-for-5) and PAT percentage (1.000; 9-for-9).
Coghlin also was named the Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week after kicking the game-winning 34-yard field goal as time expired against No. 7 Penn State last season.
No. 21/18 Michigan State (2-1) returns to action Saturday, Sept. 29 against Central Michigan (1-3) at noon in Spartan Stadium. The game will be televised on FS1.
