Michigan State Football: 5 biggest questions facing offense in 2019

Michigan State football has plenty of question marks heading into the season, but what are the five biggest concerns on offense?

Defense was not the issue for Michigan State in 2018. The Spartans finished with a top-10 defense for the sixth time since 2011, tying Alabama for the most elite defensive performances in that span.

While Michigan State may not be on the same level as Alabama, it’s still incredible to see just how dominant the Spartans have been on that side of the ball while getting lower-ranked recruits. Mark Dantonio is a great defensive mind, which is a reason for the success, but his assistant coaches on that side of the ball have surpassed expectations.

But now it’s time to talk about the offense.

Michigan State ranked near the bottom of the Big Ten — and the country — in just about every major statistical category, which led to Dantonio shuffling the coaches around.

Despite this shuffling, there are still plenty of question marks heading into the 2019 season and both fans and national media members are wondering if even an average offense could lead to a Big Ten title or even a playoff berth.

Let’s see what the biggest question marks are for the Spartan offense in 2019.
