Watch extended highlights from MSU Football's win against Western Kentucky on October 2, 2021. The Michigan State Spartans are on fire. For the first time since 2015, the Spartans are 5-0 to start the season, following a 48-31 victory over the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers on homecoming weekend. Now just five weeks into Mel Tucker’s second season at the helm, Michigan State is already just one win away from bowl eligibility. Quarterback Payton Thorne threw for 327 yards and a touchdown, along with a rushing touchdown. Running back Kenneth Walker III took a step forward after the previous week’s struggles against Nebraska, totaling 126 yards on 24 carries and scoring three touchdowns. Walker leads the FBS in total rushing yards through the first five weeks of the season with 680 yards, and also leads the nation in average yards per game at 136. Along with that, wide receiver Jayden Reed became the first Spartan since 1972 to return two punts for touchdowns in a single season and continues to show out in the passing game. He leads the FBS in all purpose yards with 883 yards and all purpose yards per game with an average of 176.6 per contest. #MichiganStateFootball #MoeDeesBasketball MoeDee's Basketball Social Media website: www.moedeesbasketball.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/moedeesbasketball/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moedeesbasketball/?hl=en Twitter: https://twitter.com/moedeesbball?lang=en YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClw1uO8WIvyjmtirDMrz2Zg?view_as=subscriber LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/moedeesbasketball/
