MSU fails to build on Michigan victory, loses big to Iowa
Playing upon a recent theme, this one was over long before all the votes were even counted. All week long the Spartans talked about putting the win over Michigan in the rearview mirror and making sure to keep the focus forward heading into Iowa City. But from the Hawkeyes opening drive, it was obvious that this was not the same team that went into Michigan Stadium last weekend and physically dominated the Wolverines in the trenches on both sides of the ball. On Saturday, the defense looked more like wet cardboard as the Hawkeyes plowed over the Spartans with 405 yards of total offense including a methodical ground attack that generated 226 yards rushing. Conversely, MSU failed to win the battles upfront as the offense sputtered with just 1.9 yards per rush and was forced to throw the ball after falling behind 35-0 at the half.
