MSU's Tucker ahead of OSU on Gameday: 'We're built for this'

Columbus, Ohio — There was no talk of contracts Saturday morning.

Michigan State coach Mel Tucker’s focus was solely on the No. 7 Spartans’ noon showdown with No. 4 Ohio State at Ohio Stadium.

MSU is expected to offer Tucker a 10-year, $95 million contract extension soon.

In a game Michigan State (9-1, 6-1 Big Ten) enters as a nearly 20-point underdog with the Big Ten East potentially on the line, Tucker said his team is ready for the moment.

“It makes sense to them,” Tucker told ESPN’s Holly Rowe.
