Featured Game | Washington Huskies vs. Michigan State Spartans
Why Michigan State can cover
Junior quarterback Payton Thorne powers the Spartans’ offense. He threw for 212 yards last week in the 52-0 win over Akron, completing 18 of 28 passes. For the season, Thorne has been solid, completing 57.7% of his passes on 30 of 52 attempts for 445 yards and four scores. He has been picked off three times. In three season at Michigan State, he has completed 313 of 526 passes (59.5%) for 4,267 yards and 34 touchdowns. He has tossed 16 interceptions.
Also leading the way is former Wisconsin Badger running back Jalen Berger. In the season opener, he rushed for a career-high 120 yards and one TD vs. Western Michigan. Last week, he followed that up with a career-high three scores to go along with 107 yards against Akron. Berger is averaging 113.5 yards per game, fifth-best in the Big Ten and 11th nationally. He carried 84 times for 389 yards (4.6 average) and three TDs in two seasons with Wisconsin.
Why Washington can cover
Despite that, the Spartans are not a lock to cover the Michigan State vs. Washington spread. That’s because the Huskies are led by a veteran quarterback in junior Michael Penix Jr., who is a transfer from Indiana. Penix was 26 of 39 for 345 yards and four touchdowns in his Washington debut against Kent State. The four touchdowns are tied for seventh in single-game school history. He was 20 of 27 for 337 yards and two touchdowns against Portland State. He joined the Washington roster this past spring after playing at Indiana from 2018 to 2021, where he played in a total of 20 games over four seasons.
Another transfer who is a big part of the Huskies offense is graduate student and running back Wayne Taulapapa. He carried 11 times for 57 yards and a touchdown in a start vs. Kent State. He had 12 carries for 94 yards and a touchdown against Portland State. He joined Washington this past summer after having spent four seasons at Virginia, where he played in 40 games, including 27 starts. He rushed for 1,192 yards and 19 touchdowns on 266 career carries.
