Cook doesn’t start against Ohio State Kirk Herbstreit discusses the injury Michigan State QB Connor Cook suffered last week against Maryland, which limited him in warmups against Ohio State and left him out of the starting lineup. 0 Shares print COLUMBUS, Ohio — Michigan State starting quarterback Connor Cook did not start after a week of speculation regarding the health of his right shoulder. Rested for the second half after struggling and showing signs of pain in a win over Maryland last week, Cook apparently wasn’t physically ready to give what was needed for the No. 9 Spartans in their huge conference showdown with Ohio State on Saturday. Tyler O’Connor started in Cook’s place, trying to fill the shoes of a passer with 32 career victories for the Spartans as they tried to keep pace in the Big Ten title race. Cook came out for pregame warm-ups early and threw the football around lightly, and he dressed and served as a captain for Michigan State during the coin toss. He finished 6-of-20 for 77 yards with an interception before leaving the low-scoring win over Maryland last week. This is the first and only game Cook has missed since taking over as a starter 36 games ago.
