Lynch-Adams brought it out from a yard deep and was drilled, resulting in a fumble Boston College recovered at the 5. The Spartans held the Eagles to a field goal but it was still a free three points before Chiles threw a pick on the next snap.

Columnist Graham Couch gives his initial thoughts on the Spartans' performance Saturday night in a loss at Boston College with three quick takes.

Michigan State’s run game, outside of Chiles, is still struggling to get going. Chiles registered 57 yards on the ground on nine carries — most of which were him scrambling because the original play broke down. Kay’Ron Lynch-Adams recorded 61 of the team’s 127 rushing yards on 15 carries.
