Michigan State’s defense must rebuild trust in each other
Two years ago, it was Michigan State football’s pass defense that proved problematic. Last season, the Spartans got gashed on the ground. In three seasons under Mel Tucker, who arrived with an NFL defensive pedigree, MSU has been among the worst in the Big Ten each year. Injuries and lack of depth caused much of that, but there have been plenty of missed tackles and assignments that were just as much to blame.
