East Lansing – — Details about Michigan State’s first scrimmage last weekend were hard to come, but judging by the comments from coaches and players, at least one position of interest is being hotly contested:
The quest to replace running back Jeremy Langford.
Coach Mark Dantonio didn’t offer any specific statistics Monday, but was quick to bring up the running game.
“I thought our running backs ran well,” he said. “Ran the ball very effectively.”
A lot of that can be attributed to an offensive line that might be among the best in the Big Ten, but that would be selling short the talent of the group entrenched in the competition.
