Dantonio: Scott to play for Michigan State on Saturday after arrest

EAST LANSING, Mich. _ Michigan State football coach Mark Dantonio issued a statement Friday that running back LJ Scott will play Saturday against Indiana.

Scott was arrested Wednesday for his seventh driving infraction in the past 20 months.

"In what has been a lengthy process, LJ Scott now has a valid driver's license, free of any restrictions," Dantonio said in a statement. "He has resolved the matter completely, and has paid a price, both financially and publicly. His status will be affected for Saturday's game, but he will play."

Scott ran for 194 yards on 25 carries, both career highs, and scored two touchdowns Saturday in the Spartans' 30-27 win at Minnesota.
