EAST LANSING — Backup quarterback Anthony Russo is not in uniform Saturday for No. 7 Michigan State football as it hosts No. 6 Michigan.
Russo took a plea deal Wednesday after being charged with operating while intoxicated earlier this month. The graduate transfer from Temple pleaded not guilty to operating while intoxicated before entering a guilty plea to the lesser charge of reckless driving, a misdemeanor charge that carries no jail time or probation. Russo is required to pay $800 in fines and court costs.
In his place, freshman Hamp Fay is in uniform for the first time this season, along with redshirt freshman Noah Kim.
