EAST LANSING, Mich. — Kenneth Walker and Jayden Reed combined to score five touchdowns in the first half to help No. 17 Michigan State build a 26-point lead and it went on to beat Western Kentucky 48-31 on Saturday night. 

The Spartans have won their first five games for the first time since starting 8-0 in 2015, when they ended up earning a spot in the College Football Playoff. 

The Hilltoppers moved the ball through the air effectively, but settled for three field goals in the first half and struggled to stop Michigan State until the second half when it was too late.
