Miffed Mark Dantonio makes clear Brian Lewerke is MSU's starting QB
MSU coach Mark Dantonio on facing Ohio State The Detroit News
East Lansing — Listen to Mark Dantonio and Brian Lewerke speak, as each did Tuesday in Spartan Stadium’s north-end media room, and Michigan State’s quarterback drama becomes a tale of irritants.
One is physical: Lewerke still is dealing with a shoulder issue that sabotaged his throwing arm against Michigan and led to an improved, but tepid, appearance during Saturday’s victory at Maryland.
The other is emotional: The Spartans are weary of discussing Lewerke and not happy with debate about his health, especially when Dantonio has decreed Lewerke is MSU’s starter heading into Saturday’s duel against Ohio State at Spartan Stadium.
