IN CASE YOU MISS IT
Five essential readings before kick-off:
* Mel Tucker has a few more dollars in his pocket and Michigan State is hoping he will coach him for a long time. Tucker signed a new 10-year, $ 95 million contract on Wednesday to make him the second-highest-paid college football coach behind Alabama’s Nick Saban.
* Michigan state’s injury woes have piled up: they could do without their top two wide receivers, left tackle and more on Saturday. Kenneth Walker III is also attacked. Coaches are looking to a multitude of reserves to step up and help end the season strong.
* Tucker took a rare moment to meet his team’s outward expectations this week after the team’s 49-point loss to Ohio State. He pointed out that while the Spartans have already far surpassed what others expected of them (their upper / lower win tally was four), they also weren’t “playing with house money.”
* How much Walker is available, how the Michigan State pass defense is reacting and how many fans are in the stands are among the five things to watch for Matt Wenzel on Saturday.
* Connor Heyward is among the Michigan State players entering the field for Seniors Day on Saturday, and he has one of the most interesting stories ever: A player who entered the transfer portal was retired, changed positions and became an NFL prospect.
