Brian Lewerke presents a challenge for Michigan’s defense

Michigan State quarterback Brian Lewerke will be playing against the Michigan Wolverines for the fourth time in his career on Saturday.

The Spartans have lost two of these games, and won 14-10 in 2017 during a torrential downpour at The Big House. Lewerke has gone 22-of-57 for 260 yards with 2 touchdown passes in his career against Michigan. The numbers are deceiving, though, Lewerke can get things done on a given Saturday. The 6-foot-3 QB has thrown for 7,226 yards along with 42 touchdowns and 26 interceptions in his career.

“He’s a really, really good football player, the offense goes through him,” Michigan safeties coach Chris Patridge said on Wednesday.
