Spartans face historic losing streak and potential rock bottom against Iowa. Can they avoid ignominy in Kinnick Stadium?
When Iowa wins, they win big. That's exactly why ESPN Analytics gives them an 89.4% chance to beat MSU. Iowa dominated Rutgers in the second half and blew past both Wisconsin and Minnesota, with only the Golden Gophers game taking place at home. It'd be shocking if their game against the Spartans wasn't a repeat of October 25 vs. Minnesota.
Michigan State found another way to lose against Iowa, outgained 159-26 in the fourth quarter and, most importantly, outscored 13-0 as Iowa walked it off with a 44-yard field goal. “It's painful,” MSU coach Jonathan Smith said.
