Michigan State QB Rocky Lombardi was the favorite to win the starting job this fall. Now what?

This fall was finally going to be Rocky Lombardi’s chance to become Michigan State football’s starting quarterback.

Instead, he is right back where he ended last season: in limbo.

“I was obviously disappointed because I've been waiting for this job for a long time,” Lombardi told reporters on a video conference call Wednesday. “I feel like I've been a good enough player to play in the Big Ten for a couple years now, so it was kind of heartbreaking for me. But at the same time, I think it's good for our team, which is gonna obviously end up being good for me.
