Michigan State loses star running back for rest of season

Michigan State has taken two tough losses in back-to-back weeks in coach Pat Fitzgerald's first season, and the news got even worse Monday.

Star Spartans running back Cam Edwards will miss the rest of the season with an injury, Fitzgerald confirmed Monday. Edwards exited Saturday's 31-13 loss to Nebraska in the first quarter with an apparent knee injury and was carted off the field. He later appeared on the sideline using crutches.
