Michigan State OL throws up mid-play, RB loses pants during tackle

If you felt sick to your stomach watching Michigan State football play a tight Week 1 game against Toledo, it's safe to say you weren't alone.

During a two-point conversion in the fourth quarter Friday, Sept. 4, Spartans right tackle Robert Wright Jr. employed an unorthodox blocking technique − he threw up mid-play.

As the ball was snapped, Wright lost his lunch amid the poor, unsuspecting Toledo defenders' pass rush. It ultimately worked out, as no Rockets got home and the Spartans converted.

You can watch the play unfold yourself if you have the stomach for it:

Michigan State would go on to win, 30-20, to give new head coach Pat Fitzgerald his first victory in East Lansing.

And Wright's misfortune was not the only viral moment to come Friday night.

Early in the game, Spartans running back Cam Edwards had a bit of a wardrobe malfunction as his pants were pulled down during a tackle. Fortunately, he was able to redress himself before the FCC needed to step in.

The Rockets needed to do anything they could to stop Edwards, who was the big winner from the Week 1 matchup with 27 carries for 98 yards.

Michigan State will next take the field Saturday, Sept. 12 against Eastern Michigan. We'll see if food can stay down and pants can stay on during that one.
