Mel Tucker addresses losing streak for Michigan State, concerns of negativity in Spartan locker room
Mel Tucker and his Michigan State Spartans are in a rough slate following the 27-13 loss on the road to Maryland. Michigan State (2-3; 0-2 in B1G play) has suffered its third consecutive loss.
Despite the three losses coming out of Week 5, Tucker is not worried about his team. His players and staff know the potential they can bring every week, but the fans are losing faith.
Tucker: "Fans want to see good football. We haven't played that." MSU needs support. "That's what's gonna help us most in terms of what they can do for us. We have to do our part. I understand their frustration. That's the nature of sport, we all want to win in the worst way."
