Depth of Spartan Offensive Line Tested as Bryce Mostella Expected to Miss Season

Michigan State football has been hit hard by injuries this season, and the offensive line has been particularly affected. The Spartans have already lost two other offensive linemen to season-ending injuries, and now Bryce Mostella is expected to join them on the sidelines. Mostella, a redshirt junior, suffered a torn ACL in his right knee during Saturday's game against Indiana. He is expected to miss the rest of the season, according to a report from The Athletic. The loss of Mostella is a big blow to the Spartans' offensive line. He was expected to start at left guard this season, and he has been a key part of the team's rotation in the past. With Mostella out, the Spartans will likely turn to redshirt sophomore Matt Carrick to start at left guard. Carrick started seven games last season, and he has been playing well in a reserve role this year. The Spartans have also been without starting right tackle Luke Campbell and starting center Nick Samac this season. Campbell has been out with a foot injury, while Samac has been out with a concussion. The injuries have forced the Spartans to shuffle their offensive line throughout the season, and it has had a negative impact on the team's performance. The Spartans have struggled to run the ball consistently, and they have allowed 20 sacks this season. The Spartans will need to find a way to overcome the injuries to their offensive line if they want to have a successful season. They will need Carrick and the other young linemen to step up and play well.
