EAST LANSING – Michigan State struggled to find “the guy” at quarterback last season, making it difficult for the offense to ever develop cohesion.
Mark Dantonio made it clear this month that Brian Lewerke will start this fall. And the sophomore knows it’s his chance to show he deserves the job.
“It definitely put confidence in me,” Lewerke said Friday of Dantonio’s nod coming out of spring workouts. “He had told me in a meeting just with him that I was the guy. For him to come out publicly and say that was very big for my confidence going into this year.
