<description><![CDATA[Swenson leaves a major void at kicker, as Dan Conroy and Kevin Muma compete to replace the back-to-back All-Big Ten selection. Martin really blossomed on returns during Big Ten play and could be a huge X-factor for Michigan State this fall. The Spartans' coverage teams were average in 2009. If Conroy and/or Muma can hold their own on field goals, special teams could be a real strength for Mark Dantonio's team.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[As articulate as Michigan State forward Delvon Roe is, you wouldn't know it by his curt responses to questions about his ailing right knee.
