Michigan State quarterback Payton Thorne (10) looks on before making a pass against Youngstown State during the second half at Spartan Stadium in East Lansing on Saturday, Sept. 11, 2021.
Raise your hand if you had Payton Thorne penciled in as the starting quarterback for Michigan State football this season.
OK, now keep your hand raised if you believed he was going to be darn near perfect through his first two starts in 2021.
Now that all of those hands are down, we can all agree that we may have expected Thorne to be a solid quarterback, but what he did against Youngstown State in Week 2 was legendary.
