EAST LANSING – Michigan State football coach Mark Dantonio issued a statement Friday that running back LJ Scott will play Saturday against Indiana.

Scott was arrested Wednesday for his seventh driving infraction in the past 20 months.

“In what has been a lengthy process, LJ Scott now has a valid driver’s license, free of any restrictions,” Dantonio said in a statement. “He has resolved the matter completely, and has paid a price, both financially and publicly. His status will be affected for Saturday’s game, but he will play.”
