Michigan State has established Elijah Collins as its feature back this season, as Collins — against Ohio State a week ago — took 12 carries for 63 yards. No other Spartan — outside of QB Brian Lewerke — had at least four carries or 10 yards rushing.
During his weekly radio show, Spartans coach Mark Dantonio spoke about Jefferson, as well as a freshman RB that may see some playing time due to the backfield deteriorating:
