During the heyday of Michigan State football under Mark Dantonio, the Spartans were able to hang their hat under strong offensive line play. That has dwindled over the past few years, but new MSU offensive line coach has done a great job thus far this year putting out a group that has competed on each and every play and it has made a huge, visible difference in the offense as Kenneth Walker and Jordon Simmons have had ample room to run.

In fact, MSU’s offensive line has been so good, they actually were the No. 2 ranked group in the country in week 2, thanks to a powerful performance against Youngstown State. Only Baylor’s group ranked higher.
