Projecting Michigan State’s starters and depth chart versus Michigan

The Michigan State Spartans host the University of Michigan Wolverines on Saturday, Oct. 30, a game between two undefeated teams. Head coach Mel Tucker has not released a depth chart this season and certainly is not going to tip his hand going into this game. Using prior game results and reports about the roster, I have predictions on who we will see as the starters and reserves.

Quarterback

Starter: Payton Thorne

Backup: Noah Kim or Anthony Russo

Thorne has had a remarkable season and has exceeded essentially all expectations.
