Aaaaand, exhale.
After two painstaking weeks of more of the same, the Iowa Hawkeyes (1-2) emerged victorious over the Michigan State Spartans (1-2), 49-7.
It would be cliche to write it wasn’t always easy but frankly, that would be wrong. The Hawkeyes carved up the Spartan defense from the jump using a diversified array of playcalling to go up 7-0, 14-0, 21-0.
The first drive, in particular, brought the season’s first tunnel screen to Tyrone Tracy, good for 13 yards. Spencer Petras looked smooth in a play action pass to Shane Beyer for 18.
