Brian Hoyer is lonely.Anyone who pays the slightest attention to college football knows about Michigan's uncertain quarterback situation, but recent events have put the state's other Big Ten team in a similarly dodgy spot:
Out: Redshirt freshman Connor Dixon, a Pennsylvania native, decided to transfer a few days ago.
In: Michigan State picked up transfer Keith Nichol, who originally committed to Michigan State but decommitted when John L Smith was fired and Rhett Bomar pulled a Bomar, opening up the job at Oklahoma. Sam Bradford kinda slammed that door shut.
Out: Redshirt freshman Nick Foles, a Texan, announces he's going to transfer somewhere closer to home, specifically citing the crowded(?!?!) Michigan State depth chart as a reason to bolt.
As a result, MSU is left with starter Brian Hoyer, a fifth year senior, and redshirt freshman Kirk Cousins, an unrated recruit with one other BCS offer (Colorado). Past that it's walkons. The Spartans will have Nichol and incoming freshman Andrew Maxwell in 2009; in 2008 they'll be desperately hoping the mediocre Hoyer stays in one piece.

As a Spartan I take offense to your description of Hoyer. He is way below mediocre.

As a junior, this mediocre QB had 20 TD's, 11 INT's,and hit almost 60% of his passes. You ain't no Spartan Hux.

He was throwing to a stud receiver all year and that certainly helped his stats, but the fact is he throws a terrible ball. His accuracy is suspect and he easily gets locked onto one receiver. If you actually have confidence in Hoyer, then you need to take a step back from the green kool-aid. I love MSU but I don't need to blindly love all of our athletes to be a true Spartan. A**hole

Wow, biased AND uninformed... great job, Brian! This is up there with your retarded "most disappointing recruiting classes" article
Cousins was a 3* recruit according to Rivals, not unrated.
Stick to posting about your love for tiny RBs that run their mouths and can't back it up.

Pretty sure that tiny RB ran over 110 yards on one leg with one o-lineman worth a damn against your beloved lil brahs. At least the wolverine doing the smack talk was a 21 year old kid and not a 40+ year old head coach. Sounds like our lil guy was the only one backing up the talk. Stick to flag planting, my classy lil brahs.
Btw having stars doesn't mean you are rated at your position. Cousins was labeled "NR" (unrated) as a QB on both recruiting sites, stars or no stars. http://michiganstate.rivals.com/viewprospect.asp?pr_key=45514&sport=1
