The 1967 Michigan State Spartans football team was an American football team that represented Michigan State University as a member of the Big Ten Conference during the 1967 Big Ten football season. In their 14th season under head coach Duffy Daugherty, the Spartans compiled a 3–7 record (3–4 in conference games), finished in sixth place in the Big Ten, and were outscored by a total of 193 to 173. After an undefeated 1966 season, the Spartans began the 1967 season ranked No. 3 in the AP poll. They quickly dropped from the polls, opening the season with losses to unranked Houston and No. 2 USC. In two other games against ranked opponents, they lost to No. 6 Indiana and No. 3 Purdue. On offense, the Spartans gained 163.0 rushing yards and 107.6 passing yards per game. On defense, they gave up 182.2 rushing yards and 154.8 passing yards per game. The individual statistical leaders included quarterback Jimmy Raye with 580 passing yards, Dwight Lee with 497 rushing yards, and Allen Brenner with 26 receptions and 462 receiving yards. Lee was selected as the team's most valuable player. Two Spartans were selected for the 1967 All-Big Ten Conference football teams. End George Chatlos received first-team honors from the Associated Press (AP) and second-team honors from the United Press International (UPI). Tackle Joe Przybycki received second-team honors from both the AP and UPI. The team played its home games at Spartan Stadium in East Lansing, Michigan. Wiki link
