Michigan State’s 2022 spring “game” played out much like head coach Mel Tucker’s press conferences: briefly, concisely and somewhat ambiguously.
Of course, select things were addressed and others made clearer, while others were largely left up to interpretation during Tucker’s postgame media availability on Saturday afternoon.
Tucker described the offensive line as “banged up,” and it was. The Spartans only dressed eight offensive linemen for the spring game, and two of them are converted defensive linemen (Evan Brunning and Jacob Lafave). Other key players were missing, too. Fifth-year senior tackle Jarrett Horst headlined notable absences along with senior linebacker Quavarius Crouch, redshirt sophomore tight end Maliq Carr, fifth-year senior cornerback Ronald Williams and others.
