MSU football head coach Mark Dantonio is facing a similar situation to the 2013 season with uncertainty at the quarterback position. With senior Tyler O'Connor and junior Damion Terry on opposite teams, the coaching staff should get a glimpse of each quarterback and their abilities to run the offense with effectiveness. 

Junior offensive lineman Brian Allen was the first overall pick for the second season in a row, and freshman wide receiver Donnie Corley was the first wide receiver selected. Teams will be coach by co-defensive coordinator Mike Tressel (Green Team) and quarterbacks coach Brad Salem (White Team). 

Here are the full rosters for the annual Green and White scrimmage, which will take place April 23 at Spartan Stadium. Kick off is set at 3 p.m. and admission for all fans and students is free.
