MSU QB Alessio Milivojevic exits Washington game with injury

Michigan State quarterback Alessio Milivojevic suffered an injury during a game against Washington on November 14, leading to his exit from the field. The incident occurred in the second quarter when Milivojevic collided with a helmet and sustained an injury to his left arm. He briefly stopped in the medical tent before heading to the locker room with medical staff.

Milivojevic had completed seven out of 12 passes for 108 yards prior to leaving the game. The injury happened on a scramble play where Milivojevic initially faked a pump fake and attempted to run for two yards before being tackled by Washington linebacker Jacob Manu. Just prior to Milivojevic's injury, left guard Conner Moore suffered a knee injury, requiring him to leave the medical tent for stretching and remain on the sideline.

Backup quarterback Cam Fancher, who had returned from a knee injury sustained in a previous game, took over after Milivojevic's exit. Fancher had missed four games due to the knee injury sustained against Wisconsin. Milivojevic has thrown for a total of 1,451 yards, seven touchdowns, and three interceptions throughout the season.

He missed a game against UCLA with a thumb injury, but returned to play in the subsequent game, showcasing his resilience by earning praise from coaches and teammates for his toughness. Defensive tackle Ben Roberts also left the game in the first quarter as a result of a recurring injury that occurred three weeks prior at UCLA, returning to the sideline late in the quarter wearing street clothes.
