CHICAGO – Three seasons have passed since Michigan State has had to install a new starting quarterback, but the Spartans are taking measures to ensure the transition from Connor Cook to the new No. 1 goes as smoothly as possible.
Replacing Cook will be no easy task. In three starting seasons, he proved to be one of the most accomplished, productive and durable quarterbacks in school history.
Fifth-year senior Tyler O’Connor came out of spring practice as the leading contender to succeed Cook, with fourth-year junior Damion Terry and redshirt freshman Brian Lewerke in close pursuit.
