  According to coach Mel Tucker, the Spartans' leading rusher from two seasons ago has been impressive. "l like what Elijah is doing," Tucker said last week. "He's gained weight, he's gotten stronger, he looks more explosive. He's hitting the hole with velocity, and keeping his feet moving on contact and he's falling forward for two. He's running with authority." That's a bit of a revelation considering how the 2020 season played out for Collins. He entered the year expecting to be Michigan State's primary ball carrier. Instead, he became a seldom-used extra piece to a running back group that never really got rolling. The numbers showed how poorly the Spartans ran the ball, averaging just more than 91 yards over seven games. And the fact Collins managed only 41 carries for 90 yards made the lack of production even tougher to deal with. After all, Collins had emerged as the Spartans' top back in 2019, gaining 988 yards and scoring five touchdowns as he recorded three 100-yard rushing games - a career-high 192 vs. Western Michigan, 170 vs. Illinois and 109 vs. Rutgers - to become the first Spartan freshman to do so since Javon Ringer in 2005. - Detroit News
