Michigan State opened the fall of 2021 with a huge conference win, on the road against Northwestern, 38-21. The Spartans win was lead by a monster performance by Kenneth Walker.
Walker ran the ball 23 times for 264 yards and four touchdowns. A truly dominant performance by Walker led the Spartans to a win in their opener against the Wildcats.
The most insane part of Walker’s week one performance, 206 of Walker’s 264 yards came after contact.
