Justin Layne won't shy away from double duty for banged-up Michigan State

East Lansing – Justin Layne might just put in a call to Tony Lippett at some point this week.

As the Michigan State junior cornerback pointed out, it might not be the worst idea considering he is likely headed down the same path Lippett did as a senior on 2014 by playing both sides of the ball, mixing in time at cornerback late in the season while also playing well enough to eventually be named the Big Ten Receiver of the Year.

In fact, after starting all 12 regular-season games at receiver, Lippett started the Cotton Bowl against Baylor at cornerback.
