Michigan State football's Scottie Hazelton relishes spring practices after 'blur' of 2020

Scottie Hazleton liked what he saw from Michigan State football’s work-in-progress defense in Tuesday’s second spring scrimmage, particularly in forcing turnovers from the offense.

He also made a frank assessment about the Spartans’ coaching staff: They, too, have a lot of room for improvement.

“We had a couple times where we had substitution errors,” Hazelton recalled Wednesday. “We were running one group on the field because we're trying to play more guys up front, and we're not getting the guys off in time. And the offense is going fast, and we have to be ready for that.
