Kiper wrote: "A massive tight end, he played over 280 pounds at times last season, which sounds impressive when you consider he has great hands, but doesn't apply well to NFL schemes where you need a tight end who can create at least some separation. Well, Sims dropped weight and was very impressive in workouts after the combine. Likely a fourth-round pick, he could sneak into the third."

For much of the second half on Monday, it looked like MSU would be able to leave Minnesota pulling another win out of its ass. But poor defense, free-throw shooting and and struggling to finish at the rim led to a 12-0 blitz by the Gophers in the final three minutes, as MSU lost its Big Ten opener 76-63.

No one is saying for sure that Le'Veon Bell is leaving Michigan State a year early for the NFL draft. But it appears to be a strong possibility. And MSU's coaches are preparing for life after Bell, who repeated after Saturday's 17-16 victory over Texas Christian in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl in Tempe, Ariz., that he was unsure of his decision.

Brian Hoyer learned from a couple of the best minds in the NFL during the first three years of his NFL career in New England. While every quarterback wants to be the starter, it wasn't too bad of a gig for Hoyer, learning under Tom Brady and coach Bill Belichick. But finally, after bouncing around from team to team at the end of the 2012 season, Hoyer made his first career start on Sunday. It appears that Hoyer did an admirable job for the hapless Cardinals offense, leading his team to 13 points at San Francisco.

Michigan State overcame almost complete ineptitude in the passing game through a combination of spectacular punting from Mike Sadler (43.7-yard average on 11 punts, including 3 that dropped inside the 20), a nicely-timed punt muff by TCU near its own goalline, and our guy (Isaiah Lewis) hanging on to an interception while their guys didn't.

Nix was five of 15 for 10 points, with four rebounds in 30 minutes. Payne was two of six for four points, with seven rebounds in 24 minutes off the bench. Izzo said Payne "didn't play very well" on another day of foul trouble for him. After a powerful offensive rebound and dunk to give MSU a 61-58 lead with 7:15 left, Payne had a traveling violation, goaltending call and bad pass for a turnover in three straight possessions.

In the belly of Williams Arena Monday, as Michigan State’s basketball team packed up and headed for the bus to the airport, defeat in hand, a face familiar to the Spartans lingered. Shawn Respert, MSU’s all-time leading scorer and now a player development coach for the NBA’s Minnesota Timberwolves, pulled aside Keith Appling, Branden Dawson and Travis Trice. He spoke briefly with Gary Harris, too. All one-on-one discussions, encouraging but frank.

I‘m just getting tired of all the hype.”

So how much did fatigue play a role? Based on the minutes each player had been averaging, the notable variances were few. Gary Harris played far too much, going for 34 minutes as opposed to his average of 26. Appling routinely plays that many and the while the wisdom of that practice can be debated, Keith shoulders the burden without much issue. Harris cannot be expected to keep that pace as a freshman no matter how talented he is.

Michigan State found itself in quite a battle against Minnesota on Monday and it's a scenario the Spartans, and teams throughout the Big Ten will have to get used to. With six teams ranked in the top 25, including four in the top 10, the days of counting on road wins appear to be long gone.

Which running back will fit into the Spartans' scheme next season? It likely will be a position filled by committee, and Michigan State also could be adjusting to a new starting quarterback if Connor Cook (or someone else) replaces Andrew Maxwell.
