MSU freshmen running back LJ Scott and junior linebacker Riley Bullough both received honors from the Big Ten Conference on Sept. 14.
Bullough was named the Big Ten’s Defensive Player of the Week and Scott earned Co-Freshmen of the Week.
Scott compiled 76 yards on 11 carries and two key touchdowns in the Spartans 31-28 victory over Oregon on Saturday. His first touchdown (also his first career TD), was a six yard scamper that put MSU up 21-14 with 8:11 to go in the third quarter.
The bulk of Scott’s carries came in the second quarter as he rushed eight times for 66 yards.
