EVANSTON, Ill. — Michigan State football coach Mark Dantonio said on his pregame radio show that senior Tyler Higby will start at left tackle when the Spartans open Big Ten play Saturday at Northwestern.
Higby finished last week's 10-7 loss to Arizona State after starting left tackle Kevin Jarvis suffered a right knee injury late in the second quarter. Higby started three games at left tackle a year ago and has played both guard and center spots during his MSU career.
