MSU QB Brian Lewerke gone for season with broken leg

East Lansing — Not much has gone right this season for Michigan State and after its sixth straight loss on Saturday, the Spartans got some more bad news.

In the wake of a 32-23 loss to Michigan, its first since 2012 in the series, Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio said on Sunday night that redshirt freshman quarterback Brian Lewerke is out for the season with a broken tibia in his left leg. The injury happened in the fourth quarter when Lewerke was scrambling to keep a play alive on fourth down before getting tackled by Michigan’s Jabril Peppers.
