Michigan State lost a winnable game to Iowa. The stars seemed to align for the Spartans to put their season back on some semi solid ground when the Hawkeye QB Cade McNamara went down early in the game. From there, MSU’s defense mostly dominated. They did their job. The problem is everything else fell apart.
The special teams unit gifted Iowa 10-points, and the offense struggled to three field goals - one of them from 57-yards out. Add in the second week in a row of four offensive turnovers and the outcome was inevitable.
