MSU OPENS UP TWO-SCORE LEAD
Things are looking sunny in south Florida for Michigan State.
Quarterback Payton Thorne found Jalen Nailor for an 11-yard touchdown strike halfway through the third quarter, opening up a 17-7 lead for the Spartans over Miami.
It capped an impressive 10-play drive, which featured more great leg work from Kenneth Walker III (139 yards rushing). Connor Heyward also had a 24-yard reception on the drive as his career resurgence continues.
Even worse for Miami, quarterback D'Eriq King was headed to the locker room after landing awkwardly on his right (throwing) shoulder earlier in the half.
