6. Shawn Respert vs. 11. Jack Allen

The “Fire” to Eric Snow’s “Ice” Shawn Repsert was a walking bucket. He is MSU’s all-time leading scorer and is second all-time in Big Ten scoring. He won a ton of individual awards, including the Sporting News Player of the Year his senior season. Plus, he started the tradition of kissing the Spartan logo during senior day. Unfortunately Respert never once made it out of the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament.

He takes on Jack Allen, the beloved center during Mark Dantonio’s best stretch at Michigan State. Allen’s 47 starts rank second in school history and he won a ton of awards. He was a back-to-back All-American and first-team All-Big Ten his junior and senior seasons. It’s hard to become a fan favorite as a lineman, especially at center, but starting for four years and being the man in the middle for a Rose Bowl win, a Cotton Bowl win, and a College Football Playoff berth will do that for you.
