Michigan State football: 10 observations on the Spartans’ impressive win over Miami

New York Times  

EAST LANSING, Mich. — Ten final thoughts on Michigan State’s 38-17 win over Miami. Here are some of the things MSU has accomplished offensively through three weeks: Ranks 29th nationally in scoring offense and third in the Big Ten, averaging 39.3 points per game Ranks 14th nationally in total offense, averaging 520 yards per game Ranks eighth nationally in yards per play Ranks 11th nationally in rushing offense and fifth in yards per carry Has been to the red zone 15 times and has scored a touchdown or a field goal 14 times, including 12 touchdowns 3. QB Payton Thorne Eighth nationally in passing touchdowns and first in the Big Ten Eighth nationally in passer rating and first in the Big Ten Ranks 17th nationally in yards per attempt Second QB in school history to throw four touchdowns in consecutive games Big Ten Co-offensive Player of the Week in Week 3 Has yet to turn the ball over this season RB Kenneth Walker III Leads the country in rushing with 493 yards Of those, 372 yards have come after contact Has generated 35 missed tackles, and 20 came against Miami Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week in Week 1 Maxwell Award Player of the Week in Week 1 Additionally, the wide receivers have done their jobs. Credit D’Eriq King for hanging in there after taking a beating and not getting much help his offense, but Michigan State forced King to turn the ball over four times. Still, I talked to some Miami people at the game who watched Brantley in high school, and they think he’s going to end up being a steal for Michigan State.
