Michigan State beat writer mwenzel2 says Michigan State has struggled in all three phases of the game and just becoming bowl-eligible will be a challenge.
and has been a frequent visitor to Across The Field for Ohio State’s annual games against the Spartans.
Michigan State lost only two games all of last season. The Spartans have now lost their last three games in a row. What’s gone wrong?In short: Everything. Well, that’s not accurate. Michigan has one of the nation’s best punters in Bryce Baringer. But, when that’s what you’re hanging your hat on nearing the midway point of the season, there are a lot of problems.
Mel Tucker constantly talks about the need to play complementary football. His team is doing the opposite of that.Are you sensing any buyer’s remorse from Michigan State after giving Mel Tucker a $95 million contract extension, or does confidence in the program’s future under his leadership remain high?The optics definitely aren’t good and the price on that fully guaranteed contract comes with expectations that aren’t being met, but it’s still very early in the deal.
Michigan State won with razor-thin margins last season and, with a tougher schedule, no Kenneth Walker III and widespread problems, an ugly 2-3 start is the result. Tucker has been a solid recruiter and a long-term view of how he builds the program will be needed before issuing a final verdict on the contract.
If there’s a reason for Michigan State to feel confident it can upset Ohio State this week, what would that reason be?Tucker on Monday said it starts with belief. Hey, the 1980 U.S. hockey team knocked off the Soviets so never say never. This game is nowhere near the same in importance but the odds feel almost as daunting. On paper and what we’ve seen with our eyes, it looks like a huge mismatch.
