Thompson Gets Record in Loss
Indiana’s Anthony Thompson set an NCAA career record with his 60th touchdown, but otherwise it was all Michigan State and Blake Ezor in the Spartans’ 51-20 Big-Ten victory Saturday.
Thompson, with a one-yard leap in the second quarter, scored his 60th touchdown to break the former career record of 59 he shared with Glenn Davis of Army and Tony Dorsett of Pittsburgh.
Thompson also moved into third place in NCAA career scoring with 364 points.
Ezor, who has rushed for 453 yards and scored seven touchdowns in the past two games against Indiana, dominated the Hoosiers’ defense again on Saturday.
Izor rushed for 153 yards and two touchdowns as Michigan State took a 24-13 lead in the first half. He scored twice more in the third quarter and finished with 203 rushing yards.
Michigan State is 4-4 overall and 3-2 in the Big Ten; Indiana is 4-4 and 2-3.
