EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Mel Tucker is entering his second season at Michigan State. Even though Tucker is not a rookie with the Spartans, it seems as if he’s starting over. Tucker was hired away from Colorado 18 months ago and endured a pandemic-shortened season with a 2-5 record. The Spartans added 20 transfers, including former Temple quarterback Anthony Russo. Tucker has two options for a starting quarterback. He can go with Russo and redshirt sophomore Payton Thorne.
