MSU QB Connor Cook: 'We've had our fair share of injuries'

Anyone who's watched us this year knows we've had our fair share of injuries, but that's not going to stop us. We have guys who aren't as experienced playing on the line, and the protection wasn't great, but it's something you have to deal with. On the outside, RJ came up big in that last drive, and other guys in the passing game stepped up, bailing me out. On one play, I think it was third down or second down, Paul Lang made an incredible catch on a corner route during our first drive in the second half. Credit goes to those guys.
