Mel Tucker and Michigan State hope to bounce back from a lost season marred by suspensions

Published Sun, 29 Dec 2024 13:40:07 GMT

Mel Tucker is among the highest-paid coaches in college football, cashing in on a surprising season two years ago at Michigan State.The school is hoping to get a better return on its investment this season.The Spartans were 5-7 in 2022, losing their last two games to fall short of being bowl-eligible, and a melee in the Michigan Stadium tunnel marred the entire year.“Oftentimes you have to get kicked in the face before you can be great,” Tucker said. ”We have a chip on our shoulder. No one was happy with the way the season unfolded, especially there the last couple games. It was very disappointing. We’re just hungry.”Tucker inherited a shaky program when he replaced the retired Mark Dantonio and it showed during a 2-5, pandemic-shortened season and in the following NFL draft when the program didn’t have one player selected for the first time in 80 years.“That goes to show you the state of the depth and talent in the program,” Tucker said.With the help of breakout star running ...

Minnesota turns its offense over to Athan Kaliakmanis, after the QB’s promising head start

Published Sun, 29 Dec 2024 13:40:07 GMT

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — For the first time in five years, Minnesota’s starting quarterback is different than the previous season opener. The good news for the Gophers is the guy they call the “Greek Rifle” got a head start. Athan Kaliakmanis started five games in 2022 for program stalwart Tanner Morgan, a switch that was equal parts injury fill-in and on-the-job training.“My confidence has always been there, no matter what has happened or what the situation has been like,” Kaliakmanis said. “But I think my teammates also helped me with that. Even when I wasn’t in or I wasn’t playing, I always acted like I was the guy, so I kind of practiced.”The native of Antioch, Illinois, has three years of eligibility left following a redshirt freshman season with mixed results. After a daunting debut as a starter in a 45-17 defeat at Penn State, Kaliakmanis finished well against rival Wisconsin by going 19 for 29 for 319 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions for the program’s hig...
