The Spartans have struggled to run the ball between the tackles this season, even before RB Scott left just after halftime of the Arizona State loss. MSU got just 57 yards on 22 carries between running backs Connor Heyward and La’Darius Jefferson in last week’s 35-21 win at Indiana. QB Brian Lewerke’s rushing yards also are down, in large part due to being sacked eight times this season.
