EAST LANSING — Brian Lewerke or Rocky Lombardi?

There is no “OR” for No. 24 Michigan State at starting quarterback Saturday against No. 8 Ohio State. At least not on the Spartans’ depth chart.

And at least not from what coach Mark Dantonio is saying publicly.

Lewerke re-assumed the on-paper title of starting quarterback, with Lombardi back to a backup role after being listed as co-starter before Saturday’s game at Maryland.
