A long time ago, in a world that sometimes seems far, far away, the Michigan State Spartans used to be able to run the football. Some of the names are legends among the Spartan faithful: Le’Veon Bell, Jeremy Langford, Javon Ringer, Lorenzo White and many more. In past years, these runners used to cut through defenses like a light saber through the arm of some ruffian at the Mos Eisley Cantina.
However, recently, turmoil has engulfed the Spartan running game, and with it, the MSU offense and team. In 2020, as the remnants of the previous coaching staff have been mostly swept away, the MSU running game seemed to reach a new low.
