Michigan State football will be among the Big Ten’s best run games and the Spartans might even make some noise nationally.

Chris Kapilovic faces one of the most important seasons of his coaching career in 2021. After seeing his offensive line improve in some areas in 2020, the second-year offensive line coach will be tasked with making sure the Spartans have some semblance of a run game, especially with the loaded backfield coming back.
