Projecting Michigan State’s opening week starters and depth chart versus Northwestern

We have reached Week One of the College football season and many programs have released a depth chart for their squads. Unfortunately, Michigan State is one of the programs which has not given us a formal pecking order, and we are left guessing the starters for the football season opener against Northwestern tonight. As Mel Tucker is not sharing the Spartans’ depth chart versus the Wildcats, I will give you my predictions for the Michigan State two-deep this game.

Quarterback

Starter: Anthony Russo (graduate senior)

Backup: Payton Thorne (redshirt sophomore)

It has been reported that a decision has been made as to who the starting quarterback will be, but this information is not going to be made public prior to the opener.
