  With all of the changes to Michigan State's roster during the offseason, the biggest question of the spring will still be unanswered when preseason camp begins: Who will be the Spartans' starting quarterback when they travel to Northwestern on Sept. 3 to open the season? "I feel good about the competition that we have," coach Mel Tucker said Friday during the Big Ten media days. "It's open, it's an open competition. We have capable quarterbacks that all have different skill sets. But it's going to be competitive." Tucker did not tip his hand as to whether sophomore Payton Thorne or Temple graduate transfer Anthony Russo might have the edge to replace 2020 starter Rocky Lombardi, who transferred to Northern Illinois. He likely won't know until MSU opens preseason camp Aug. 5.

"It's really close. Really close," junior wide receiver Jalen Nailor said. "Neck and neck." Thorne started in place of an injured Lombardi in MSU's last game of 2020, going 22-for-39 with three touchdowns and one interception in a 39-24 loss at Penn State. Overall, the 6-foot-2, 210-pound Naperville, Illinois, native played in four games, completing 48 of 85 passes for 582 yards with three TDs and three interceptions. He also ran 25 times for 47 yards and a TD. Russo, who started 26 games over the past three seasons at Temple, played just three games in 2020 before a shoulder injury and COVID-19 halted his season. - Lansing State Journal
