Week 1 is in the books for Michigan State, and Pat Fitzgerald is already focusing on the week 2 opponent. But we still have one last order of business to attend to at TOC. Each week, we will put out a survey at the conclusion of the game asking you to vote on the player of the game.

For the opener against Toledo, we presented four candidates – QB Alessio Milivojevic, RB Cam Edwards, WR Rodney Bullard, Jr. and K Liam Boyd. At one point in the voting, the eventual winner was sitting on 66% of the vote. He still ended up with over half of the vote, finishing at 56%. Congratulations to Boyd on earning the top individual honor for week 1.

Boyd would finish his day going 5/6 on his field goals and converting his sole extra point try. His FGs were from 32, 42, 48, 35, and 51 yards. His miss came on a block from 54 yards. The 16 points that he tallied represented more than half of MSU’s points on the day, just like his percentage of the vote.

Thank you for voting and make sure to vote next week. The poll will appear in the feed right after the game wraps up and will also be in the Instant Recap article that comes out as soon usually within 30 minutes of the final whistle.
