Alessio Milivojevic records strong start for Michigan State football
Summary

Michigan State quarterback Alessio Milivojevic earned a win against Toledo on September 4, finishing with 247 passing yards and one touchdown. The victory included a late scoring drive in the fourth quarter to overcome a one-point deficit, marking a successful start to the season for the first-year starter. Reports indicate that his performance across his opening five career starts ranks among the best in program history based on touchdown, yardage, and completion percentage statistics. Despite the early success, Milivojevic and his coaches are focused on improving red zone execution after the team stalled on multiple drives against Toledo, settling for field goals rather than touchdowns. The offense plans to address these scoring inefficiencies before the team faces Eastern Michigan on September 12.
