Five takeaways from Matt Charboneau of The Detroit News following Michigan State's 24-3 victory over Maryland on Saturday.
Quarterback quandary
A week after Rocky Lombardi added some spark to the offense, the redshirt freshman was back on the bench and junior Brian Lewerke was back as the team’s starting quarterback. Lewerke didn’t fare well, going 11-for-20 for just 87 yards and throwing an interception, but thanks to an impressive running attack, it didn’t make much of a difference against Maryland. What was odd about the decision to go back to Lewerke, who has now started 23 games in his career, is the fact he is not 100 percent healthy.
