Mel Tucker planned for his players turn the page Sunday, regardless of whether Michigan State football won or lost at Michigan the day before.
That’s exactly what they did. And with a buzz and energy that carried over from the Spartans’ 27-24 upset Saturday in Ann Arbor, both inside and outside his developing program.
“I'm proud that Spartan Nation is pleased and excited about our program and about our win against the school down the road. And bringing that Paul Bunyan Trophy back to East Lansing, that's a source of pride for all of our fans and all of our supporters,” Tucker said during his weekly news conference Tuesday.
