When the Buckeyes venture into East Lansing Saturday, the defensive lineman will get a taste of what it’s like to go against Orlando Pace.No, Pace has not dropped out of the NFL and transferred to Michigan State, but the Spartan’s left tackle is a dead ringer.It’s not just his gentle giant nature. At 6-7, 330 pounds, senior Flozell Adams has been stacking up pancakes at an alarming rate. He’s a leading candidate to follow Pace as an Outland Trophy winner, awarded annually to the nation’s top interior lineman.”He’s a monster in the trenches,” said MSU coach Nick Saban. “The sky truly is the limit for Flozell.”Saban said Adams is only beginning to mature as an offensive lineman.Adams didn’t play football until his sophomore year in high school, when he sprouted up to 6-5.The football coach saw great potential in Adams, who’s only athletic experiences involved shot putting and wrestling. The coach called Adams’ mother and told her to get her son to tryout in the fall. Adams did just that, and defensive lineman have been paying the price ever since.Ohio State coach John Cooper hopes his lineman fare better against Adams than MSU’s other opponents this season.Cooper almost escaped having to deal with Adams.The criminal justice major considered opting for the NFL draft last year. Instead, he returned to school and expects to get his degree in December.”There is some unfinished business here,” Adams said. “I want to win the Big Ten and go to the Rose Bowl.”The Spartans (5-2) started the season with a strong chance to play in Pasadena ‹ five wins in five games. But recent losses to Northwestern and Michigan have put the possibility in serious jeopardy.”I’m disappointed in the losses. We all are,” Adams said. “But you can’t count us out.”Adams’ strong desire to win stems from never playing for a championship team.Including high school, Adams has never won more than six games in a season.”Time is running out,” he lamented. “We’ve got to pick it up and play like we did earlier in the year.”Adams said no matter how the team fares the rest of the season he will be happy with his football career at MSU.”It’s been a fun ride,” he said. “Nothing can change that.”
