1. Mel Tucker has his guys prepared for every game

Has anyone else been pleasantly surprised with the preparation Mel Tucker has drilled into his team through three games? In the first game of the year in 2020, the Spartans looked lost against Rutgers, but it made sense because Tucker didn’t have much time to get acquainted with his new team and had to install gameplans over Zoom.

This year? The Spartans raced out to a big lead over Northwestern in the opener, smacked Youngstown State around, and then sped by Miami in the fourth quarter in Week 3.

Tucker’s team hasn’t looked bad in any of their games this season as the Spartans have taken leads in each game early on, holding on to coast to big wins.

Expect Saturday’s game at Spartan Stadium to be the same.

Michigan State is going to feed off the home crowd which should be as rowdy as it’s been in years and the Spartans will come out prepared. They’ll score early to take the lead and hold the momentum for the entire game.

Tucker is ready for this moment.
