Michigan State Spartan RB Elijah Collins Talks Wisconsin Badgers
Duffy Daugherty Football Building
East Lansing, MI
The Michigan State Spartans (4-2) are headed to Madison, Wisconsin over the weekend. There they will find #8 Wisconsin Badgers (5-0) ready for another EPIC Big Ten tilt.
The Spartans highly praised defense will be facing one of America’s top rushing attacks. The Badgers are led by All American tailback Jonathan Taylor. A monster who is putting up accumulative numbers better than Badger great Ron Dayne did during his incredible Heisman Trophy winning season.
This is the 54th time the Spartans and the Badgers have met. It is the first time since 2016 (East Lansing) and the last time these two teams met in Camp Randall was back in 2012 where the Spartans were able to scrape out a win 16-13 overtime win.
While we were at practice this week, we took time to talk to one of the Big Ten's fastest rising stars in RB Elijah Collins. A terrific and talented young man, Collins has burst on the scene this year and taken complete control of the RB position. So much so, that now two of his former RB teammates have entered the transfer portal in Connor Heyward and LaDarius Jefferson. Collins talks about the two of them leaving and looks ahead to a very underrated defense by fans, but high respected Wisconsin defense by opponents.
