Michigan State wrapped up its spring practice schedule on Saturday with their annual spring game at Spartan Stadium in front of approximately 6,000 fans.

“You can tell there was a little extra pep in their step, seeing the fans out there,” Michigan State head football coach Mel Tucker said after Saturday’s practice. “Our fans are so important to us, they are so passionate about the Green and White and Spartan football…That’s what Michigan State football is all about, just playing hard nose football, just everybody moving in the same direction, just pulling for the Spartans. It was excellent to see our fans back out there.”

Saturday’s spring game was more of an open practice, but there were still a number of highlight reel plays. Here is a short video clip that summarizes Saturday’s event:

Most interesting quotes Mel Tucker quotes following Michigan State football spring scrimmage

Mel Tucker and Anthony Russo both spoke to the media after Michigan State’s first spring scrimmage under Tucker.

Michigan State football had their first spring football scrimmage of the Mel Tucker era on Saturday, and the team played with a lot of intensity and pace, reflective of Tucker’s attitude and demeanor. The team didn’t follow a traditional spring game but instead showed us what a practice under Mel Tucker’s administration looks like.

After the showcase, Mel Tucker and transfer quarterback Anthony Russo spoke to the media to discuss the practice and the team as they currently stand.

Below, we compiled some of the best quotes that were put on Twitter by MSU beat reporters.

WATCH: MSU QB Noah Kim connects with TE Ian Stewart for impressive deep pass

Redshirt freshman quarterback Noah Kim connected with Ian Stewart for an impressive deep pass during the spring scrimmage.

Much of the talk around the Michigan State football quarterback competition this offseason has been around Payton Thorne and transfer Anthony Russo, and for good reason. However, there was a third MSU quarterback who was throwing some dimes during Saturday’s spring scrimmage: redshirt freshman Noah Kim.

Kim showed a nice comfort level with tight end Ian Stewart on Saturday, and on one play in particular, was able to connect with him for a deep bomb.

This is also a really impressive grab by Ian Stewart, a player who transitioned from wide receiver to tight end during last season but didn’t see much action. Tight end is a pretty wide open position this year for the Spartans so Stewart will definitely see opportunity if he keeps making plays like this.

Every Michigan State football player that did not suit up for spring football scrimmage

11 players didn’t suit up for Michigan State in the spring scrimmage, you can see each of them here.

Michigan State football’s spring football scrimmage is currently underway, but not every Spartan is suited up for action. There are 11 players who are not in uniform for today’s televised scrimmage.

It is likely a variety of reasons that vary from player to player for why they aren’t suited up, but with a roster that seems to change every week, it’s certainly something to keep an eye on. Some of these players have been seen at other times this spring, but others were not seen and there are some question marks.

Below, you can find each player that isn’t suited up for the Spartans on Saturday.

WATCH: BTN catches up with Tom Izzo, Mark Dantonio during MSU Spring Game

A pair of Michigan State legends were in attendance for Saturday’s spring game — Tom Izzo and Mark Dantonio.

Both Izzo and Dantonio were on hand for the Spartans’ annual spring game held on Saturday at Spartan Stadium. With a pair of Spartans greats in the building, it only made sense for the Big Ten Network to catch up with both Izzo and Dantonio.

Watch what both had to say when speaking with Darien Harris — who is Director of Player Engagement for Michigan State Football but was serving as BTN’s sideline reporter on Saturday — below:

It is still currently a recruiting dead period so that means the coaching staff won’t be able to meet with the recruits. But this is still a great opportunity for Michigan State to build some buzz around the program, and potentially play a role in landing a few of these top-tier prospects.

Michigan State’s Spring Game officially kicks off at 2 p.m. on Saturday. The game will be televised on the Big Ten Network.
