Thorne struggles but coach, teammates confident in their QB

East Lansing — As quarterback, the planner of the offense, it’s often that the game's results, the team's record, morale, motivation and the energy of your teammates falls onto your back. Heavily.

“As quarterback, that’s how it is,” Michigan State redshirt junior wide receiver Tre Mosley said Saturday following Michigan State's 34-7 loss to Minnesota. “They get the most praise when things are going well, then when things aren’t going well, they get the most hatred.”

It doesn’t help that it’s human nature to be your own biggest critic.
