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:

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:
