4. Offensive line

Yes, I’m naming the entire offensive line because it’s impossible to pick just one player who needs to step up on Saturday.

The offensive line played well last Saturday. However, this is a prime game for the line to continue to gel and build a solid rotation despite the injuries in prep for OSU.

Ohio State is legit and is blasting teams out of The Horseshoe. Michigan State must continue to have good line play in order to compete for a Big Ten East division title.

Injuries will happen, but it is also why you recruit. Mark Dantonio has missed on some guys but was able to get plenty of help in the 2019 recruiting class. The Indiana game is about prepping for Ohio State while not looking ahead too much. It must answer the questions remaining about this team and what they will. It all starts with the offensive line.
