The Iowa Hawkeyes (7-4, 5-3 Big Ten) played extremely poorly through the first three quarters of Saturday's win over Michigan State.
The offense was struggling all game to move the ball, and quarterback Mark Gronowski was playing some of the worst football of his college career.
Gronowski did not complete a single pass until two minutes remaining in the first half, and finished the first half completing five of ten passes for a paltry 24 yards and an interception.
The trend continued in the third quarter, and the Hawkeyes were down 17-7 heading into the final quarter of play.
