Pat Fitzgerald identifies Michigan State running backs as most consistent unit

Michigan State head coach Pat Fitzgerald named the running back group as the team's most consistent position unit during fall preseason camp. Fitzgerald shared the assessment during his weekly radio show as the Spartans prepare for their season opener. The backfield features newcomer and UConn transfer Cam Edwards, whom Fitzgerald previously highlighted for his performance during camp. While the running backs earned top marks for consistency, the head coach also noted improvement within the offensive line, defensive line, and wide receiver units. These position groups have experienced significant personnel turnover heading into the new season. Michigan State begins its schedule on Friday with a home contest against Toledo. The game is set for an 8 p.m. ET kickoff and will be broadcast on FS1.
