Michigan State football's offense breaks out in 48-31 win over Western Kentucky

EAST LANSING — There was a healthy dose of productive anger for the Michigan State football team following a season-low offensive output in its overtime victory over Nebraska last week.

And the No. 17-ranked Spartans used that to bounce back in a big way against Western Kentucky during their homecoming game Saturday night.

Jayden Reed set the tone with an 88-yard punt return for a touchdown on his first touch.

And that sparked a big night as MSU had its highest scoring opening half in seven years while improving to 5-0 with a 48-31 victory over the Hilltoppers.
