Payton Thorne will be Michigan State’s starting quarterback for at least another week.
Spartans coach Mel Tucker said on Tuesday the redshirt freshman will start in Saturday’s game at Maryland, the final game of the season for Michigan State.
In last week’s loss at Penn State, Thorne got the call after redshirt junior Rocky Lombardi was unable to play because of an injury sustained the week before in the loss to Ohio State.
“Payton's gonna start this week and then hopefully Rocky will be available for us,” Tucker said during his weekly meeting with the media.
