Michigan State Spartans 31 - Rutgers Scarlet Knights 13 Highlights 10/9/2021

Watch extended highlights from MSU Football's road win vs Rutgers. PISCATAWAY, N.J. — Jalen "Speedy" Nailor and Payton Thorne started one of Michigan State football’s most historic days in the birthplace of college football. Kenneth Walker III joined them in the second half by continuing his assault on the school record books. Nailor caught two touchdown passes of 63 yards and a third of 65 yards from Thorne in the first half, and Walker ripped off a 94-yard scoring run early in the second half — the longest play from scrimmage in MSU history. That was enough to send No. 11 MSU to a 31-13 victory over Rutgers on Saturday. The Spartans improved to 6-0 overall for the first time since 2015 and 3-0 in the Big Ten for the first time since 2017; they are bowl eligible for the first time under second-year coach Mel Tucker. MSU was projected to finish last in the Big Ten East Division. MSU travels to Indiana for a noon kickoff next Saturday “Football is not a game of perfect. We just want to reach our full potential, and we know that we haven't done that yet,” Tucker said. “We leave plays on the field — offense, defense and special teams. There are plays to be made that we don't make or maybe with a self-inflicted wound or penalty. “I don't believe in self-imposed limitations. We don’t how good we can be because the team has a collection of individual players. It's about how good can each player get. We have to leverage everyone's talents so that we can know have a strong team and get stronger.” This was the fifth time in FBS history a team had a 300-yard passer, 200-yard rusher and 200-yard receiver in the same game. #MichiganStateSpartans #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/
