Coach Mark Dantonio of Michigan State will watch Saturday's game against No. 11 Wisconsin from the hospital rather than the coaches' booth at Spartan Stadium after a blood clot was discovered in his leg.

Dantonio, who suffered a mild heart attack Sept. 19 and underwent surgery, had been planning to watch the game from the booth after returning to work Sunday.

The 54-year-old Dantonio watched last week's game against Northern Colorado from home, as offensive coordinator Don Treadwell coached the No. 24 Spartans.

Dantonio attended his weekly news conference Tuesday and said that he'll be easing back into his routine but would follow doctor's orders.  Dantonio last coached in the Spartans wild win over Notre Dame where he called a fake field goal in overtime to shock the Irish.
