Michigan State took a 49-20 drubbing at the hands of Ohio State to fall to 2-4 on the 2022 campaign. The Spartans are reeling, and, at this point, a bowl game is starting to feel like a very hard goal to obtain.
Mel Tucker stepped to the podium following the loss to Ohio State to discuss the state of his team after the game.

Tucker asked about potential changes midseason in coaches and personnel: "I'm not looking to make any changes from a coaching standpoint at all. Any changes we make scheme-wise or personnel, we have to evaluate the tape."

Asked Tucker about his defense's seventh game giving up 500-plus yards in his tenure and second straight of 600-plus to Ohio State: "We'll keep working on it. We'll go back and see what we can do with the guys that we have. It's not an easy fix."

Tucker says recruits "seen an opportunity to come in here and make a difference." Games like these don't affect that, he believes.

Tucker asked by @RainerSabin if he saw improvement from last year's loss to OSU to today's, says he has to watch the tape. "You're either in the left-hand column or your not in my mind."
