Ross Els isn’t trying to be coy.
When he says he has no idea what players might fill various roles this season for Michigan State, he’s not making it up.
The Spartans special teams coordinator and linebackers coach is like most of the rest of Mel Tucker’s staff, trying to figure out which players fit where without the benefit of having any face-to-face time with those players and not being able to get on the field.
“I've seen the linebackers run,” Els said during a conference call on Thursday.
