Last week, the Michigan State Spartans named Tyler O'Connor the team's Week 1 starter vs Furman.
After a long battle with Damion Terry for the No. 1 QB job, O'Connor is ready to lead MSU as a full-time starter for the first time. However, many who get to this level of college football have had the mindset that they'll be starting, and it's just a matter if the coaches agree.
That's the case with O'Connor, who says that mentality is something he's had for awhile now.
"It's a long process here at Michigan State, especially when you go through kind of the situations that I've been in, but it certainly does come full circle, and that's something that Coach D preaches from day one," O'Connor said.
