Finding someone to take over in the backfield hasn’t been easy for Michigan State head coach Mark Dantonio over the past couple of seasons.
In fact, he hasn’t had a 1,000-yard rusher since Jeremy Langford hit that mark in 2014 even though LJ Scott came close a couple of times. Now that Scott is gone, Connor Heyward is back as the presumed starter, but there’s been plenty of talk out of fall camp that true freshman Anthony Williams Jr. could be the next man up.
Spent a few minutes pre-practice with Mark Dantonio. Said 3 freshmen OL have impressed in camp – Devonte Dobbs, Nick Samac, and JD Duplain (who moved from DL).
