Michigan State QB Brian Lewerke Talks Penn State
Tom & Lupe Izzo Media Center
East Lansing, MI
The Michigan State Spartan Football team sits at 4-3. Coming into a season full of excitement and promise, the team stands on the precipice of watching their season fall into a complete collapse with a loss on Saturday. This game with #7 Penn State (7-0) kicks off at 3:30 PM at Spartan Stadium.
The above video is Spartan QB Brian Lewerke. We caught up with him after practice and he talked about the state of the Spartans and looked ahead to Penn State.
Dantonio said of how Lewerke is playing and what he saw from the Wisconsin game, "Yeah, he's got to be. I don't think that anybody played as well as they had; I thought from an offensive perspective, we took a step backwards in that game. Prior to the Ohio State game when we crossed the 50 seven times, I believe, and had some different things going, but sort of stalled out for whatever reason because of a dropped pass or whatever before the half."
Dantonio added of Lewerke, "But I don't think he played as well as he had previously, but none of us did. Coaching, as well. So again, I have high expectations. We have high expectations and this is a guy who I think two years ago threw for over 400 yards against Penn State. He's fully capable and we'll look for him to play a great football game, and I think as their quarterback goes, so goes your offense."
Dantonio finished saying of QB play that, "Same thing can be said whether you're looking at any football team I think out there. As your offense goes, your quarterback is moving with them. I think that's just part of football."
