The 2016-17 MSU football team will be looking to win its second-straight Big Ten title, and the Spartans are in a similar position to the one it was in at the beginning of the 2013-14 season; several talented running backs, a top defense and an unknown at the quarterback position.
That year saw redshirt-junior running back Jeremy Langford rush for 1,422 yards and 18 rushing touchdowns as Spartan fans witnessed the beginning of what would be a fantastic career for the now Chicago Bear running back.
That season, Langford, along with Nick Hill carried MSU's offense as none its quarterbacks threw for over 100-yards or any touchdowns until the third week of the season when then-sophomore Connor Cook emerged as the top-dog in the MSU quarterback competition.
