MSU Has A Quarterback

Michigan State has a quarterback. Alessio Milivojevic went 26-of-34 for 247 yards, a touchdown and no picks in the 30-20 win over Toledo, and the go-ahead drive in the fourth quarter told you more about him than the box score did.

Joe Chapp breaks down what he saw from Milivojevic in the first game of the Pat Fitzgerald era: the seven-play, 70-yard answer after Toledo took the lead, the fourth-and-goal throw to Rodney Bullard Jr., the two-point conversion, and why a quarterback who does not make the dumb throw is worth more than one with a highlight reel. Plus the transfers who showed up (Cam Edwards, Trent Fraley, Caleb Wheatland, Kenny Soares Jr.), what has to get fixed on third down and in the red zone, and a QB-by-QB look at the rest of the Michigan State schedule.
