The press did the Michigan State football team a deed by painting a mirage of another picturesque season. There were to be new youthful recruits on the field full of vigor, and a string of returning, talented leaders. The most popular chatter over the summer, of course, was the starting quarterback disposition. A young QB with an arm that could kill and a new recruit who had running game: two distinctly different talents.
The public wasn’t surprised to hear in Dantonio’s first press conference that Kirk Cousins would be the season started, but uneasiness filled the room when the head coach added “…but Keith Nichol will see playing time in the first quarter as well.”
Four games into the season quickly approaching the Michigan game, the quarterback rotation is still the chatter about town, but the press have quickly turned on what appeared to be an alluring season at the offset.
Despite enduring criticism from roughly every media outlet in the Spartan Nation, Head Coach Mark Dantonio still feels as if the system involving sophomores Kirk Cousins and Keith Nichol is necessary for the betterment of the players and the football team:“To just [cross] one of them out and don’t give the other guy opportunities for growth would be the wrong thing.”
