The Ohio State football team will travel on the road for the first time in 2022. And while things have looked like sunshine and rainbows over the last few weeks at home, sometimes making that first trip on the bus can lend itself to poor execution because of unfamiliarity and the environment.
But Michigan State seems to be reeling this season. After a year in which the Spartans had one whale of a season last year, things haven’t been nearly as good this year and their head coach Mel Tucker knows it. The Spartans are losers of three straight, all by double figures.
Tucker met with the local media in East Lansing earlier this week to preview the matchup with Ohio State and had plenty to say. We always like to repurpose the preview press conference from the opposite sideline, so we have what the Spartans head coach had to say before this one as well.
Watch below thanks to the SpartanMag YouTube challenge and listen to Tucker discuss the challenge of facing the Ohio State offense, the improvement and decisiveness he sees from the defense, his team’s poor execution so far, and more on the Buckeyes.
Ohio State will travel to East Lansing to take on Michigan State on Saturday, with kickoff being set for 4:00 p.m. ET on ABC. We’ll have more through the week to preview the matchup and get you ready for the game this weekend.
