Mike Sadler and the parody Twitter account @FauxPelini exchanged in their typical back and forth this week, and Sadler told Pelini he would pet an imaginary cat after good punts.

Well, after punting the ball to the 2-yard line late in the first half, ABC's cameras caught Sadler doing just that.

MSU led 17-0 at halftime, and two of Sadler's punts were downed inside the 5-yard line. The Spartans held on for a 27-22 win.





From 2 days ago. #MSU RT @Sadler_3: @FauxPelini I'm not. But after every good punt I am going to honor you by petting an imaginary cat. — Chris Vannini (@ChrisVannini) October 5, 2014



After the game, the two congratulated each other.

@Sadler_3 yes see you in December, and next time not so many punts inside the five yard line please? That got old — Fake Bo Pelini (@FauxPelini) October 5, 2014
