Thorne made his first career start this past week against Penn State in Beaver Stadium. In his first start, Thorne threw for 325 yards and three touchdowns, giving the Spartans passing game a much-needed boost.
Michigan State will travel to College Park to face off with Maryland in Thorne’s second career start. Thorne, a redshirt freshman, is trying to solidify his spot as the Spartans starting quarterback for the years to come. These two starts will be a great opportunity for Thorne to earn the trust of the coaching staff, as well as brewing excitement for the fans.
Michigan State faces off with Maryland this Saturday at 7:30 p.m. EST. on the Big Ten Network.
