Makhi Frazier rushed to 103 yards and a touchdown during his first career departure and Aidan Chiles launched 155 yards and a hit on Friday evening to help Michigan State for a 23-6 victory against western Michigan in East Lansing, Michigan, during the opening of the season for the two schools.
Chiles was shaken with 5:40 to play in the match when he was dismissed and tried the ball. He was replaced by Alessio Milivojevic on the next Michigan State Drive.
The Spartans won 25 consecutive openers against adversaries without conference, dating back to 1999.
Western Michigan lost 14 consecutive games against Michigan State dating from 1921. Brady Jones, a transfer from the Community College of Riverside (California), started for broncos and completed 11 of the 23 passes for 97 yards and an interception. Lowry Broc also completed 5 passes out of 10 for 91 yards.
Michigan State marked its first two discs. After forcing western Michigan to abandon the ball on Downs out of the opening, the Spartans increased 7-0 when Brandon Tullis freed himself on a 12:30 am touching race at the first quarter.
Chiles crowned a game of 10 games and 75 yards in the second quarter when he launched a pass of touch to Nick Marsh, giving the Spartans an advance of 14-0. Later, he set up the next score of Michigan State when he ran 26 yards against the Broncos 9. A game later, Frazier pushed the margin to 9-0 with his score of 9 yards in the middle with 1:50 to play in half-time.
The defense of the state of Michigan, which forced western Michigan to return the ball three times, recorded security with 8:01 on the left in the third quarter that Alex Vansumeren and Jalen Thompson stopped the cut of the Broncos Jalen Buckley in the goal area.
Western Michigan, which was held at 29 yards on the ground, had the opportunity to score at the end of the third quarter, but Hunter Smith missed a basket of 46 yards.
The Broncos score came with 2:51 to play when Milivojevic was intercepted by the former secondary of the state of Michigan, Tate Hallock, and returned 32 yards for a touchdown. The two -point conversion failed.
