ANN ARBOR, Mich. — There wasn’t much Michigan State head coach Mel Tucker could say after Michigan won, 29-7. It was a lopsided affair that could have been much worse had the Wolverines managed to convert more in the red zone.
Beyond that, multiple MSU players assaulted at least one Michigan player in the tunnel after the game, the second incident (this one being far worse) in as many games in Ann Arbor.
As far as the tunnel incident is concerned, Tucker didn’t have much to say, as he didn’t know anything about it once he arrived at his postgame press conference, he said.
“I don’t know,” Tucker said. “I know that was a heated game. Things were heated. We’re trying to get our guys in the locker room. We’ll have to figure out what happened.”

He didn’t speak much on Michigan in his presser, but noted the Wolverines were a better team. He told his team after the game to acknowledge that and move on.
“I said ‘Hey, just give them credit. They beat us today,'” Tucker said. “They played better football than us today, and we didn’t get it done. So give them credit and let’s get ready to move on to the next one.”
The loss for MSU moves the Spartans to 3-5.
