Big things may be cooking for Michigan State football.
Mel Tucker is 5-5 with the Spartans in 10 games. Three wins against AP Top 25 teams (Northwestern, Michigan, and Miami). Entering the season, Michigan State was expected to go 6-6 with a bowl game in the team’s future. That’s an upgrade when considering what Tucker was given.
After bringing in 41 new players, 20 of them being transfers, the Spartans have completely re-tooled and rebuilt the roster. Payton Thorne is a big-time quarterback with several years of playing time; Kenneth Walker III could very well win a Heisman at Michigan State.
