Washington makes statement, beats No. 11 Michigan St 39-28

Associated Press  

The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! Polk’s 53-yard touchdown catch early in the third quarter was a resounding answer after Michigan State scored on the opening drive of the second half to pull within 29-14. Payton Thorne threw for 323 yards and three TDs, and led a pair of quick fourth-quarter scoring drives for Michigan State that caused some nerves for the Huskies. “We knew that it was going to be a game of explosives.. We knew that we needed to eliminate explosive gains and we weren’t able to do that.” It was Washington’s first win over a ranked Power Five nonconference opponent at home since beating Michigan to open the 2001 season. Washington: The Huskies run defense deserves a ton of recognition: Michigan State finished with 42 yards rushing.
