The Spartans have gotten off to a rough start against the Buckeyes. Now they have lost their quarterback for the game. On a 2nd down, late in the second quarter, Rocky Lombardi was scrambling out of the pocket looking for a pass, but Tyreke Smith was able to get around the edge and come from behind and sack him for a loss of 9 yards. Lombardi was tackled into the ground and had a hard collision with his head. Lombardi looked a little dizzy and had trouble getting up off the ground initially. He was taken to the sideline and into the locker room. Payton Thorne came in for the next play and took over for the injured Lombardi.
Lombardi finished the game with 5/11 passing for 33 yards, three rushes for -9 yards and an interception.
