Today we focus on the Michigan State football loss at the hands of Rutgers on Saturday afternoon at Spartan Stadium. What does this mean for the start of Mel Tucker's tenure as head coach and what must the Spartans do to rebound against in-state rival Michigan this week?

On today's Current Sports with Al Martin we recap the Michigan State football loss to Rutgers to open up the Big Ten college football season. What went wrong for the Spartans and can it be corrected as the team heads into this weekend's rivalry matchup against Michigan? Listen to what first-year head coach Mel Tucker had to say concerning his debut. Also, the Detroit Lions found a way to top the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday afternoon with less than a minute left on the clock. Are Lions fans starting to change their tune about the state of the team? That, and more, on this eventful Monday edition of Current Sports.
