Michigan State coach Bobby Williams maintained his silence about why quarterback Jeff Smoker is suspended, saying only that Smoker won't be playing Saturday when the Spartans face Michigan.
"It's an indefinite suspension, which means it's open-ended. He could come back or he may not come back," Williams said.
Smoker was suspended Thursday (Oct 24) for an unspecified violation of team rules.
Williams said sophomore Damon Dowdell is scheduled to start at quarterback for Michigan State (3-5, 1-3 Big Ten) for the second consecutive game.
