Mel Tucker Postgame Notes & Quotes: “Outings like this are not acceptable — I don’t care who we’re playing.”

The Michigan State Spartans were absolutely crushed by the Ohio State Buckeyes today, by a final score of 52-12.

It did not matter that the Buckeyes were down a head coach, a couple of assistant coaches, 17 scholarship players or multiple starters today. Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields, running back Trey Sermon, wide receiver Chris Olave and company proved just how wide the talent gap between the two programs is at this current juncture.

Michigan State head coach Mel Tucker met with the media after the game and had a clear message that this kind of performance simply will not be tolerated — no matter who the opponent is.
