What will the Michigan State Spartans do with RB Nick Hill in 2012? There are plenty of options…
Nick Hill is a fascinating player. The Michigan State Spartans running back isn’t the biggest guy around at 5-foot-8, 190 pounds, but he has speed to burn — not elite, world-class speed, but great college speed.

Michigan State enters 2012 minus its top three wide receivers from 2011 plus the quarterback who was throwing them passes the past three seasons, Kirk Cousins.
Michigan State’s trio of receivers combined for 172 catches last season and their departures (along with Cousins) left a huge void for the Spartans to try and fill in 2012.
Good news, help is on the way.

Depth at tailback gives Dantonio no clear-cut candidate
EAST LANSING, Mich. Just because you start the season as Michigan States No. 1 running back doesnt mean youre going to finish there.
Thats certainly been the trend of late, and it was one of the messages coach Mark Dantonio sent during a news conference to preview spring practice, which opened Tuesday for the Spartans.
