It hasn’t been the most impressive start to the 2018 football season for the Michigan State Spartans, but one area where MSU has absolutely dominated is against the run. The Spartans have allowed just 98 yards on the ground through four weeks (three games), which ranks No. 1 in the entire country.
What’s even more impressive is that the 98 rushing yards have been allowed on 86 carries — an average of 1.1 yards given up per attempt. That also ranks the Spartans first in the NCAA, and is a full yard better than the second place school, San Diego State.
