'We're better than this': No. 3 Ohio State pulverizes Michigan State

East Lansing – A week ago, it was hard for Mel Tucker to hide his excitement.

Michigan State had just upset Northwestern, a team that came to Spartan Stadium unbeaten and ranked in the top 10 in the nation.

So, it’s no surprise that a week later, Tucker had just as hard a time suppressing his anger, his disappointment, his frustration after Michigan State got run over by another top-10 team. This time it was No. 4 Ohio State, down 17 scholarship players because of COVID-19, that came to town Saturday and destroyed the Spartans, 52-12.
