MSU's annual football media day is this afternoon, but this preseason for this team deserves hourly obsessing, so let's review from Saturday's first day of camp:
• The loss of Darian Hicks is a bigger deal than it may seem right now. Yes, Hicks lost his job and probably some confidence late in his sophomore season, and then he was passed in the spring by Arjen Colquhoun and Jermaine Edmondson. But sometimes depth chart shakeups like that are motivational. There's a reason Hicks beat those two – both in the program longer than him – to start last season, and there's a reason he was listed as a co-starter entering camp.
