Alessio Milivojevic, the new starting quarterback for Michigan State, is looking to lead the Spartans to a winning season after a disappointing campaign last year.
Michigan State is entering the season with a new starting quarterback, and the motivation is palpable. Alessio Milivojevic spoke with the media following the team's first practice, and his words reflect the sting of last year's losing season. "There's a lot of motivation," Milivojevic said. "It stings, it stings to this day. Every time you have a losing season, it will sting. Each play, each moment, you know 'I can't do this again.'"
Milivojevic was named the Spartans starting quarterback following spring practice, and he comes into this season with experience under his belt. He started the final four games of the season for Michigan State last year, appearing in nine games in total. In those games, he threw for 1,267 yards and 10 touchdowns, while also running for 59 non-sack rushing yards and one score.
The Spartans will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing campaign last year, and Milivojevic is confident that they have the motivation to do so. "It stings, it stings to this day," he said, emphasizing the importance of learning from last year's mistakes.
Milivojevic's appointment as starting quarterback is seen as a positive move for the team, and he will be looking to build on the experience he gained last season. With a strong preseason under his belt, he is ready to take on the challenges of the upcoming season.
As the Spartans prepare to kick off their season, Milivojevic's words serve as a reminder of the importance of motivation and determination. With a new season just around the corner, the question on everyone's mind is: can the Spartans turn things around and make a push for a winning season?
