Michigan State running back Connor Heyward will be focus of attack against Ohio State

Ahh yes, it is game week against the Michigan State Spartans. In six tries, Ohio State Buckeyes head coach Urban Meyer is 4-2 against Mark Dantonio’s program. Those two defeats not only ruined National Championship aspirations for the Buckeyes, but conference title hopes as well.

Even though MSU will be without their star wide receiver Felton Davis, who tore his Achilles on Oct. 20 against Michigan, they do have a weapon on the ground in running back Connor Heyward.

The sophomore RB, believe it or not, is the younger brother of former Buckeye Cameron Heyward, who was a first round NFL Draft selectee in 2011, and therefore, the son of the late Pro Bowl and All-American fullback Craig “Ironhead” Heyward.
