Mel Tucker Notes & Quotes: “We have to be able to stay focused, we have to block out the noise”

Michigan State Spartans head football coach Mel Tucker met with the media today for his weekly Zoom call.

While Tucker said multiple times throughout the call that every game is big — especially those against any Big Ten opponent — and the team is going to be “full tilt” no matter who it is playing, he knows the challenge against the Buckeyes is a tougher one than most, and the team needs to put an emphasis on that.

“I think at this point, everyone has Ohio State somewhat circled on their schedule because it’s considered maybe the best team in the country,” Tucker said.
