Jonathan Smith made it clear. To have success on offense this season, Michigan State football must run the ball better than it did Friday. “Gotta find ways to be more efficient there,” Smith said Monday. Sure, the Spartans produced 179 rushing yards in their 16-10 season-opening victory over Florida Atlantic at Spartan Stadium. On paper, it was a marked improvement from a team that a year ago averaged a program-worst 89.5 yards per game and ranked 125th out of 130 Football Bowl Subdivision teams.
