Notes & Quotes: Michigan State’s Mel Tucker preaches “standard over feelings”

After beginning practices on Aug. 4, the Michigan State football team kicked off its second full week of 2022 fall camp on Monday.

Head coach Mel Tucker and a couple of players spoke to the media following the morning practice session. The Spartans also had the team’s first preseason scrimmage this past Saturday.

Tucker “liked what he saw” from his team during Saturday’s scrimmage, saying that “guys were playing hard” and there were “a lot of bright spots.”

When asked to elaborate on what stood out to him during the scrimmage, Tucker noted that the running game looked good, especially when Wisconsin transfer running back Jalen Berger was carrying the ball.
