East Lansing — A renewed energy around the Michigan State offense has apparently resulted in an explosion early this spring.

Explosive plays from running backs Anthony Williams and Elijah Collins were cited by coach Mark Dantonio and quarterback Brian Lewerke as providing a boost in the team’s first scrimmage Tuesday.

Williams, an incoming freshman from Chicago, and Collins, a redshirt freshman from U-D Jesuit who had two carries last season, represent what could be a boost for an offense in need.

“There were some explosive plays out there on our offensive side of the ball,” Dantonio said.
