Makhi Frazier News: Leading rusher in opener

Frazier totaled 14 carries for 103 yards and one touchdown and hauled in their only target for negative five yards during Friday's 23-6 win over Western Michigan.

Frazier was a surprise producer for the Spartans, leading the team on the ground while crossing the century mark for the first time in his career. The 5-foot-10 running back found the end zone on a nine-yard run in the second quarter, giving Michigan State a 21-0 lead just before halftime. Though Frazier operated in a timeshare with fellow running backs Brandon Tullis and Elijah Tau-Tolliver, the MSU coaching staff rode the hot hand, helping Frazier outpace his competitors in touches on the day. His next opportunity will come against Boston College on Saturday.
