Kirk Cousins find Keshawn Martin for a 48-yard score late in the second quarter. The Broncos appear to have no chance to get back in this game. The defense is getting burnt and committing penalties and the offense hasn't been able to get decent field position. Cousins is currently 10-of-11 for 179 yards and two scores. Pretty impressive day.

Not much of a game here in East Lansing. Western Michigan has seen better days after it coughed up the ball at its own 40 and committed two roughing the passer penalties. Quarterback Tim Hiller hasn't looked very sharp either. He's already experienced a lot of pressure from MSU's defense.
