EAST LANSING – Mel Tucker’s main teaching points in the final days of preseason camp this week are about Michigan State’s football program and not its first opponent, the Western Michigan Broncos.
That work begins soon enough, with the Sept. 2 opener eight days away. Until then, the Spartans are focused on installing schemes and working the basics – biding their time while champing at the bit to get the season underway.
“It's interesting because we're getting closer to the game, so these game-specific questions are coming in and all that,” Tucker said Monday.
