MSU DRIVING AT END OF FIRST QUARTER
Michigan State quarterback Payton Thorne probably got sick of being on his back, so the Spartans offense went with some quick-strike passing on its third drive. And it's paying off.
Michigan State got to Miami's 13-yard line as time ran out on the opening quarter.
The drive began with a couple passes to Tyler Hunt, totaling 20 yards, and it picked up steam with a 26-yard rush from breakout star Kenneth Walker III. Later, on third down, Thorne took matters into his own hands, scrambling 9 yards for a first down to end the quarter.
