Yes, but I don't think you can build that way at MSU.  It's what also concerns me about Locksley at Maryland.
What way?MD didn't walk into an ideal situation nor did he leave it that way.Have to see if he can make some inroads with kids.Many want to play right away and won't get that at the blue bloods,so he has that angle if he can sell it.He coached under Saban and Tressel so there's that

Tucker seems more like the kind of guy that Dantonio would have hired as DC, from the Tressel friends and family tree.

He seems like he could be a great face of the program type guy, who kills it on the recruiting trail, more than an Xs and Os guy.  That's not how it works at MSU.  The problem at the end for Dantonio was (1) his staff, particularly on offense was doing a terrible job developing talent; (2) Blackwell was killing his ability to recruit the state; (3) Kentucky and Cincinnati started going after the Ohio kids that OSU wasn't offering that Dantonio was making a killing on early in his tenure.

Tucker is coming in here, and getting in to some top 5s or whatever from some much bigger fish, but you don't get points for getting recruits to consider you, when they previously would not have.  And none of those guys are ultimately picking MSU.

I think some of the results this year are going to be extra special.  Rutgers had 276 yards and 38 points.  Sparty had 7 turnovers.  Honestly they look a lot like last year, with their inability to run the ball with any sort of success. Rutgers should be a sort of competent outfit this year.

When you get a lot of turnovers, it is tough to rack up a ton of yards. 

It's like playing NCAA FB on easy mode, where your offense hardly ever sees the field because you are returning kicks, interceptions and fumbles for TDs, then giving them back the ball. You get a safety, return the kick for a TD, and get the 2 pt conversion, that's 10 points, with zero yards of offense. If you do get the ball, it is inside the red zone and you score on your first play. It's not unheard of to have more points than yards.

obviously a tough loss for Sparty, but it's the first game.  7 turnovers.

the TO thing can't be that bad all season

Sparty isn't as bad as they looked Saturday

Rutgers probably not as good

Yes, but even on a per play basis, they were bad.  They recovered a fumble at the 1, and it took 5 plays for them to score.

Rutgers averaged just 3.8 ypp, meaning after one game, MSU's defense is #4 nationally in that stat.  Granted Penn State is #2
