All Big Ten
quarterback Connor Cook has
already hinted that he wants
to return to East Lansing for
his senior season as the Spartans
have some unfinished business
to address. Most would assume
that means winning another Big
Ten title. Michigan State has
developed into a consistent
program, winning with punishing
Big Ten-style defense. But 2014
began to show some signs of
offensive prowess while ranking
in the Top 5 of every major
conference offensive statistic.
To take the next step however,
MSU has to replace just about
every offensive skill position
outside of Cook. The offensive
line can help carry the load
with Conklin and Allen paving
the way. While there is room
for poll improvement, getting
past favored Ohio State and
into the playoff discussion
is a tall hurdle. |
