Michigan State’s game against Toledo descended into gross scenes on Friday night when an offensive lineman suffered an unfortunate health-related incident. The Spartans beat the Rockets 30-20 in their 2026 season opener at Spartan Stadium but one player appeared to be battling more than the opposition. Offensive lineman Robert Wright Jr. was seen vomiting mid-snap as Michigan State went for the two-point conversion. As quarterback Alessio Milivojevic dropped back, Wright, who lined up at right tackle, puked all over a member of the Toledo defensive line. Unaffected, however, Wright continued to block his opponent, allowing Milivojevic to find Rodney Bullard Jr. in the corner of the end zone to give the Spartans a seven-point lead. Wright, a redshirt junior, was making his Michigan State debut after transferring from Georgia Southern.

The tackle suffered a broken arm in 2023 that prompted him to redshirt and didn’t appear in any games the following season. He is one of the many new additions to the Spartans’ roster under new head coach Pat Fitzgerald. Michigan State hired the former Northwestern coach in December last year after they went 4-8 , finishing second-to-last in the Big 10. Fitzgerald hadn’t coached since the end of the 2022 season after getting fired amid hazing and racism allegations against the Wildcats program.Fitzgerald sued Northwestern for wrongful termination and reached a settlement with the university in 2025, maintaining that he had no knowledge of the hazing within the program and never ‘directed or encouraged it.’Michigan State sealed the victory with an 11-play drive capped by Liam Boyd’s 51-yard field goal late in the game.Milivojevic was 26 of 34 for 247 yards with a touchdown. Cam Edwards, a transfer from Connecticut, ran for 98 yards and he scored a touchdown on Michigan State’s first possession.The Spartans scored on all five of their possessions in the first half, but were limited to four field goals and led 19-7 at halftime.It was Fitzgerald’s first win since leading Northwestern to a victory over Nebraska on August 27, 2022.’I´m just really grateful, really thankful,’ he said.
