Connor Cook Injury: Updates on MI State Star’s Shoulder and Return

What Dantonio was talking about was reflected in the stats.

December 29, 2012 is a day Spartan fans should remember forever.

The offense for Maryland has never done the defense any favors this year.

While Connor Cook’s situation is obviously important to watch, MI State may have finally found an answer to the running back carrousel. You don’t. Otherwise we wouldn’t all be sitting here talking about it. You don’t. However, he began to face doubt after a slow start to that year. MSU is now averaging 33.9 points and 422.3 yards per game on offense while the defense is allowing 24 points and 372.3 yards per contest. Calhoun also broke up a pass and had two quarterback hits. Lady Luck and officiating are fickle sisters that can go either way and the Spartans have do things they can control to minimize those elements they can’t to win a championship.

Cook was knocked down as he threw a pass during the first quarter and looked to be in pain when he went to the sideline.

“There was no popping out of any sort”, Cook said, per The Detroit News. When the third quarter began, Cook was on the sideline wearing a headset and backup Tyler O’Connor was in at quarterback. “I think that was bothering him”.

Cook has shown a unique ability to find a way to win – trailing Baylor 41-28 with about 12 minutes left in the 2014 Cotton Bowl the Spartans had just recovered an onside kick and momentum appeared to be on their side. Cook was able to return to the game, but he only finished the first half before sitting the rest of the game. He was starting to distinguish himself, having thrown eight touchdown passes in MI State’s past two games. That’s because Cook took a shot that injured his right shoulder in the first quarter.

MI State Quarterback Connor Cook exited the Spartans game vs Maryland after a hit left him on the turf.

It put a damper on the 24 to 7 victory.

“He’s used to being successful, so he has confidence”. But Jake Hartbarger had a monster day punting, Kevin Cronin got kickoffs to the end zone, and MSU didn’t let return man extraordinaire William Likely loose.JD: I expect MSU to play the style of play they have against high powered teams such as the University of MI in Tom Anastos’ tenure and that is to play extremely defensive.

Arjen Colquhoun almost came down with an interception on the next play, but he was unable to secure the ball.

“He didn’t have the arm strength to be full-go”, Dantonio said. It took the MSU defense 10 games to get off to a good start, and McDowell said it isn’t about to stop now.

“We need really prove that we can get back to that, and I think it’s going to happen near the end of the season leading hopefully into these next five games”, said Reschke, who is visualizing the last two regular-season games, the Big Ten title game, and a pair of College Football Playoff matchups.
