Kenneth Walker III's five touchdowns lead No. 8 Michigan State Spartans past No. 6 Michigan Wolverines

Michigan State's Kenneth Walker III had a banner day in the Spartans' 37-33 win over Michigan on Saturday, running for 193 yards and five touchdowns.

It was his second game this season with four or more rushing touchdowns, which leads all running backs in the FBS. He's only the third Michigan State player to score five rushing touchdowns in one game, and he's the first since Javon Ringer had five touchdowns against Eastern Michigan in 2008.

The Spartans put together an impressive second half after trailing Michigan 23-14 at halftime. At one point in the second half, Michigan State had not converted a third down on seven tries, but then rattled off three straight third-down conversions leading to one of Walker's touchdowns.
