It wasn't a strong performance for the Spartans' starting quarterback on Saturday night and he didn't shy away from that in the postgame press conference.
Michigan State quarterback Alessio Milivojevic had a rough night at Notre Dame on Saturday, which played a role in the Spartans losing by the final score of 27-10 against the Fighting Irish. Milivojevic completed 9-of-17 attempts for 123 yards and two interceptions in the loss against Notre Dame.
Following the game, Milivojevic met with the media to discuss his performance and the overall team's performance against Notre Dame. Here are some of the notable takeaways from his media availability:
- Milivojevic stated he "needs to be better" for Michigan State to upset a team of Notre Dame's level.
- Milivojevic said he felt Michigan State came out with energy and were capable of winning this game.
- Milivojevic felt Michigan State "gave it away as much as they took it from us."
- Milivojevic talked about the Spartans' depth and the ability to lean on different players throughout the game to make plays for the offense.
- Milivojevic stated the Spartans are ready to turn the page on this game, and turn their focus to next week's Big Ten opener against Nebraska.
- Milivojevic said his teammates and staff "had his back" and were encouraging him throughout his tough performance.
