Michigan State Football: What Mel Tucker is doing deserves praise

Michigan State head coach Mel Tucker talks to players during a timeout during the second half against Ohio State at the Spartan Stadium in East Lansing on Saturday, Dec. 5, 2020.

Mel Tucker only won two games in his first strange and severely altered season as the head coach of Michigan State football.

While those wins did come as four-touchdown underdogs on the road at Michigan, as well as one against a top-10 ranked Northwestern team, the rest of the games were not close, and Michigan State essentially didn’t look competitive in any of their losses. After the loss to Ohio State, Tucker had a fiery press conference, mentioning that there were going to be changes to the roster.
