Mel Tucker knows Michigan State football’s secondary — one of the nation’s worst — will face one of its biggest challenges of the season in the Peach Bowl 2021: Slowing down quarterback Kenny Pickett and Pitt’s prolific passing attack.
“I know we're going to have to do a much better job on our pass defense,” Tucker said Sunday. “We've got to tighten up some areas. We've got to get some guys back healthy in order to be able to have a chance to contain him and slow him down.”
Pat Narduzzi knows his Panthers have a similar test ahead: Stopping Spartans running back Kenneth Walker III.
