Thorne: "That's not acceptable to be turning the ball over."

Thorne says his inconsistent passing "is pissing me off because (it was) the same thing last week. And that's never been an issue for me."

Thorne thinks he's "not necessarily finishing throws. I know that's kind of a common thing to say, which sounds stupid."

MSU RB Jarek Broussard on sharing the load with Jalen Berger: "I feel like we complement each other really well running the ball. There's no dropoff from my point of view."

Broussard on the run game and holes from the OL: "It really comes down to read and react. If you see it, you hit it."

Broussard, when asked about Washington next week, says the team just takings things “week-by-week,” saying “Whoever is on the schedule, that’s who we’re focused on.”
MSU was not looking ahead to Washington until this Akron game was completed.
