BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Brian Lewerke is Michigan State’s best running option. That’s a problem.
Jalen Nailor might be its second.
That’s a problem, too. Though it wasn’t Saturday night at Memorial Stadium. When the freshman slot receiver took a toss from Lewerke, ran to the yard markers, cut up field, slipped through a gap, and sprinted 75 yards for the touchdown that iced a 35-21 win over Indiana.
Until that run, with just over three minutes left in the fourth, the Spartans hadn’t run the ball longer than six yards.
Though this isn’t the issue.
