EVANSTON, Ill. — Quarterback Theo Day coined a nickname for Matt Seybert: “Mr. Reliable.”

The Michigan State football tight end showed why he earned it Saturday.

Seybert, a senior who left a scholarship spot at Buffalo in 2016 to become a walk-on with the Spartans, produced a pair of touchdowns among his four catches for 28 yards in a 31-10 win over Northwestern to open Big Ten play.
