EAST LANSING — Scottie Hazelton took the podium Tuesday, the crosshairs of a frustrated Michigan State football fanbase focused on his defense that gave up 500-plus yards in back-to-back losses.
In Mel Tucker’s third-year defensive coordinator mind, the Spartans are not too far from being better than the stats show.
“There's a lot of bang-bang plays out there that we say, ‘Dang it, you know, we just need to tighten up in alignment or tighten up a position’ or something like that.’ And then those bang-bang plays will be made,” Hazelton said Tuesday.
