EAST LANSING — Mark Dantonio said co-offensive coordinator Dave Warner approached him during Saturday’s game about taking out injured quarterback Brian Lewerke.
Michigan State’s head coach made the choice to ride it out with his junior starter, even as he struggled with his accuracy.
The timing was not right, Dantonio said.
What happens moving forward with Lewerke’s shoulder could dictate a move to either Rocky Lombardi or Theo Day, the 12th-year coach said Sunday night on a teleconference to recap the Spartans’ 21-7 loss to Michigan a day earlier.
