09/11/21 - QB Payton Thorne, rSr/2025, Auburn

Payton Thorne threw for four touchdowns, including two long strikes to Jayden Reed, and ran for another score as Michigan State rolled to a 42-14 victory over Youngstown State on Saturday. Thorne connected with Reed on Michigan State's first play from scrimmage, the second straight game in which the Spartans scored from 75-yards out on its opening play. They also combined on an 85-yard score during the second quarter. Thorne completed 15-of-21 passes for 280 yards. The duo built chemistry long ago. They were high school teammates at Naperville (Ill.) Central. "We've had a ton of those plays and those aren't going to be the last two," Thorne said. "We're just going to keep building. It's crazy how things have ended up and today was pretty cool." Reed caught four passes for 181 yards, while Jordon Simmons rushed for 140 yards on 19 carries for the Spartans (2-0), who led 35-7 at halftime.

Demeatric Crenshaw rushed for 69 yards on 18 carries and a touchdown for the Penguins (1-1). Kenneth Walker III scored on a 75-yard run on the first play from scrimmage in the Spartans' season-opening victory at Northwestern. This time, he took a handoff and pitched it back to Thorne on a flea flicker. Reed caught the ball at the Penguins' 37 and raced into the end zone on the 75-yard score. "I wish we could score every play on the first play," Reed said. "We did it last week and this week. That's the standard, so we're going to make that the goal for next week as well." - Michigan State/AP College Football
