EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Jalen Berger ran for 107 yards and three touchdowns and Michigan State’s defense forced four fumbles to help the 14th ranked Spartans to a 52-0 victory over Akron. It was the largest margin of victory for Michigan State (2-0) since beating Eastern Michigan by 59 points in 2014. Kendell Brooks, filling in for injured starting safety Xavier Henderson, forced the ball out twice in the first quarter. Jarek Broussard took advantage of the first turnover and scored on a 1-yard run. Brooks also punched the ball out from receiver Shocky Jacques-Louis, leading to the first of two 1-yard touchdown runs by Berger in the half as the Spartans built a 24-0 lead.
