EAST LANSING — On a sunny, warm Monday, Mel Tucker started with the good news: the weather forecast.
Balmy temperatures reaching near 80 degrees will greet fans Saturday at Spartan Stadium, when Michigan State football takes the field for the final time this spring and the first public viewing of 2023.
“We encourage everyone to come on out and check out our deal,” Tucker said.
But it once again won’t be a traditional spring game. Instead, it will be the Spartans’ final of 15 practices, though the fourth-year coach promised it will be up-tempo and organized — with some “good-on-good” 11-on-11 work.
