The Spartans' extra practice time in the coming weeks could jump-start what figures to be one of the Big Ten's most intriguing position competitions heading into 2009. With senior quarterback Brian Hoyer graduating, Michigan State will turn to either Kirk Cousins or Oklahoma transfer Keith Nichol to lead the offense. Cousins has looked good in relief work this fall, completing 7 of 9 passes with a 23-yard touchdown pass and a 2-point conversion in Saturday's loss to Penn State. The coaches don't need to see much of Hoyer until game preparation begins, so they should get an extended look at Cousins and Nichol in practice.
