Michigan State's football team knows it needs to step up its running game for the upcoming season.

Last year, it struggled to get the ground game going, mainly because the offensive line had a tough time opening up holes for the running backs. But now, the offense has got a game-changer with Tanner Miller joining as a transfer from Oregon State.

According to Pro Football Focus, Miller is ranked as the best interior offensive lineman returning in the Big Ten, and his addition could be just what the Spartans need to beef up their run game.

Last season, the offensive line had its fair share of problems. It couldn't create enough space for the running backs, and the quarterback often found himself under pressure. But with Miller in the mix, things are looking up.

He's got experience, he knows his stuff and he's a leader on the field. Having someone like him on the line brings a sense of confidence and stability that was missing before.

Miller's not just good at blocking, though — he's great. His strength and agility mean he can handle whatever defenders throw at him, and that's exactly what the Spartans need to get their run game back on track. With Miller leading the charge, the offensive line should have no trouble opening up those running lanes and giving the running backs room to work their magic.

And let's not forget about Miller's leadership skills. He's been around the block, so to speak, and he knows what it takes to win. His presence on the field will not only elevate his own game but also the rest of the offensive line. He'll be there to guide the younger players, to push them to be their best and to hold them accountable when they need it most.

In short, Michigan State's chances of perfecting its run game this season are looking pretty good, thanks to Miller. His addition to the team brings a level of skill, experience and leadership that could be the missing piece of the puzzle. With him anchoring the offensive line, the Spartans are poised to make some serious noise on the ground this year.
