All
Big Ten quarterback Connor Cook
decided 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. |
