Although Michigan State is no longer undefeated, coach Mel Tucker remains a hot property. The coaching carousel is on the wildest ride in memory, and Tucker is in the mix. Consider that Tucker has ties to LSU and the GOAT of college football coaches Nick Saban. And if Tucker doesn’t get the Bayou Bengal gig, there is USC and perhaps other blue bloods with openings. For the immediate, Tucker can send his betting on College Football resume into orbit with a win at the Horseshoe. Of great concern is that Ohio State may be peaking ahead to Michigan.
