Michigan State's run game was finally rolling against Iowa. The offense will look to keep it going against an elite Michigan run defense.
EAST LANSING, Mich. Michigan State's offense was able to prosper from the run game in the Spartans' win over Iowa on Saturday.A large part of that breakout was running back Nate Carter's performance. The second-year Spartan rushed for 49 yards and a touchdown on nine carries.
Carter and the offense will look to build on that rushing display when it faces one of the top rush defenses in the nation, that of the Michigan Wolverines.Below is a transcript from Michigan State coach Jonathan Smith's opening statement from his presser on Monday: Smith: "Just like a typical Monday, kind of quickly recapping Saturday night. Like I said before, really proud of the guys. Just talk about the response — multiple times in the game, we needed a response, whatever phase it was, and we got that done. I mean, we throw an interception in the first half, defense goes up, three-and-out, we get the missed field goal. A big-time response there.
