Connor Cook Breaks Michigan State Record for Total Offense

On Saturday against the Penn State Nittany Lions, Michigan State Spartans quarterback Connor Cook broke the school's record for total offense, which was previously held by Kirk Cousins, per the Detroit News' Matt Charboneau.

Cook broke the record with an eight-yard completion to Gerald Holmes while the Spartans were leading 34-16 in the fourth quarter. With a win Saturday, Michigan State would clinch a place in the Big Ten Championship Game against the No. 4 Iowa Hawkeyes.

The completion put Cook at 9,008 career yards, four ahead of Cousins' career total. It wasn't the only record he broke Saturday, as ESPN Stats & Info pointed out:

Connor Cook: 10th career game with at least 3 passing TD, breaking a tie with Kirk Cousins for the most in @MSU_Football history.
