2016 MSU Football Position Preview: Running Backs

Bring me your hottest takes on Twitter at @acsmith06. You will be judged accordingly.

Running back has been a plus position group for the Michigan State offense since Mark Dantonio came to town. With a trio of backs accounting for at least 500 yards and three touchdowns apiece on the ground, 2015 was no different

In 2016, MSU is looking to maintain the results while tweaking the formula. Co-offensive coordinator Dave Warner has been vocal about wanting a workhorse to emerge and get the majority of the carries while another back (or two) spells him from time to time.
