EAST LANSING – To try and solve Michigan State football’s ongoing kicking problem, Mel Tucker last week turned to the rest of his players for help.
As in making noise. Lots of it. Right in their teammates’ faces as they went through an open field goal competition.
“The week has been exciting with that, actually,” wide receiver Jayden Reed said Saturday. “At the end of every practice, we would bring everybody else to run around to distract the kickers. We haven't been doing that all season.”
Ben Patton again earned the job vs. Rutgers, after a windy trip to Illinois resulted in the competition in the first place.
