MSU blocking standout Lang assumes growing role

People associate offensive line play with running success, but the tight ends, receivers and fullbacks (for teams such as MSU that have them) are important as well. On Gerald Holmes’ 2-yard plunge to make it 14-14 early in the fourth quarter of a 17-14 MSU win, Lang was the key.
