See what MSU football head coach Mel Tucker had to say about his team following the Spartans’ first team scrimmage this past weekend

Michigan State football is in the thick of preseason camp, with the Spartans holding their first team scrimmage this past weekend.

Head coach Mel Tucker met with the media on Monday to field questions on his team and how the first few weeks of practice have gone. Check out some of the notable comments and takeaways from Tucker’s press conference on Monday:

Michigan State football listed in preseason AP Top 25 released on Monday

Michigan State football will start the 2022 season in both the media and coaches’ preseason polls

Michigan State football will start the 2022 season ranked in both the media and coaches’ preseason polls.

Last week, the Spartans came in at No. 14 in the USA TODAY Sports coaches preseason rankings. On Monday, Michigan State was listed at No. 15 in the AP Top 25 poll.

The Spartans will have to prove they belong in the top 10 by playing games, but they have certainly earned the respect of voters that last year wasn’t just a flash in the pan.

RJ Young of Fox Sports lists MSU in top 10, second-highest Big Ten team in preseason rankings

There aren’t many out there as high on the Spartans entering the 2022 season as RJ Young of FOX Sports

There aren’t many out there as high on the Spartans entering the 2022 season as RJ Young of Fox Sports.

Young released on Sunday his preseason top 25, which had the Spartans as the second-highest team in the Big Ten. Michigan State landed at No. 7 in his preseason rankings behind only Ohio State from the Big Ten at No. 2.

Other Big Ten teams he ranked were Iowa (No. 16), Minnesota (No. 22) and Wisconsin (No. 24). As you can now see, Young controversially left the Wolverines off his preseason top 25, which isn’t unusual for Young who likes to ruffle some feathers.

Check out Young’s complete preseason top 25 rankings below:

David Cobb of CBS Sports considers betting under win total on MSU in 2022 as a best bet

David Cobb of CBS Sports isn’t particularly high on the Spartans entering the 2022 season

David Cobb of CBS Sports isn’t particularly high on the Spartans entering the 2022 season, and believes Michigan State may struggle to even reach a bowl game.

Cobb released his best bets on win totals entering the 2022 season, and he considers betting the under on Michigan State one of those easy money bets. The win total varies from sportsbook but in his article he lists the win total at 7.5 so he doesn’t believe Michigan State will finish better than 7-5 this year.

In the article, Cobb mentions the loss of star running back Kenneth Walker III and a tough schedule as his reasoning for betting the under. Here’s a bit of what he had to say about Michigan State:

“Expect a leveling off from the Spartans after the elation of last season’s 11-2 ride and Peach Bowl victory. With Heisman finalist Kenneth Walker III on to the NFL, the Spartans must find a new engine against a schedule that appears tougher than the program’s 2021 slate.”

I recently released my predictions for the Spartans and every Big Ten team and I have Michigan State safely topping the over and finishing 9-3 in 2022. I do, however, understand where Cobb is coming from and also worry about that tough schedule should the Spartans run into some key player injuries.
