It’s been a few years, but Michigan State football desperately needs an offense that can record some explosive plays in 2020.

When Mel Tucker hired Jay Johnson as his offensive coordinator, many reactions from Spartan fans included “who?” and “what has he done?”

Those were fair questions because he wasn’t exactly a household name like the rest of Tucker’s staff, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Johnson was kind of a mystery because of the fact that Tucker hit every other hire out of the park and almost seemed drawn to Johnson as his offensive coordinator despite him not being a highly sought-after coach.
