· NCAA - Football
Chiles, Brantley lead Michigan State to 40-0 win over Prairie View A&M
It is the first time the Spartans (3-0, 1-0 Big Ten) have opened the season with three straight wins since 2021. Their last shutout was 52-0 over Akron in 2022. Michigan State is 9-0 all-time against FCS opponents and has outscored them 372-81.
Michigan State scored on three of its first four possessions. Chiles opened the scoring with a 6-yard touchdown run and followed with a 17-yard pass to Aziah Johnson to put the Spartans up 14-0 in the first quarter. A 60-yard touchdown run by Nathan Carter and Brantley’s return of Cameron Peters' first down throw in the second pushed the lead to 27-0. Just seven plays earlier, Brantley had a 35-yard interception return for a score wiped out by a roughing the passer call.
In the second half, the Spartans, playing an HCBU opponent for the first time, added field goals of 33 and 23 yards by Jonathan Kim and a 1-yard touchdown run by backup quarterback Tommy Schuster to close out the scoring.
The Panthers' (0-1 SWAC, 1-2) best scoring chance came when they drove to the Spartans’ 9-yard line midway through the second quarter but were pushed back 11 yards and Guillermo Garcia Rodriguez’s 37-yard field goal attempt was wide right.
