Michigan State football to hold open practice instead of spring game for 2nd straight year

EAST LANSING — A year ago, Michigan State football found itself down on defense in spring practice. A lack of depth in the secondary and at linebacker forced Mel Tucker to eschew a full-team scrimmage for fans eager to see his team again.

This year, it’s the offensive line’s low numbers to eliminate the Green and White “game.”

Instead, it will again be a public practice inside Spartan Stadium as injuries and recoveries continue to limit Tucker’s depth in the trenches. The festivities and open workout kick off at 2 p.m., and will be broadcast on Big Ten Network.
