WATCH: Payton Thorne and Tyler Hunt connect on two big plays to lead scoring drive vs. Indiana
Michigan State’s offense finally found the endzone against Indiana in the third quarter on a scoring drive led by quarterback Payton Thorne and tight end Tyler Hunt.
The two connected on a pair of big-time plays that led to the Spartans’ first offensive touchdown of the game. Tyler Hunt first threw a pass to Thorne on a reverse pass-back to the quarterback that picked up 15 yards. The play was especially impressive as Thorne made a tiptoe grab along the sidelines.
