The Iowa Hawkeyes (6-4, 4-3 Big Ten) are looking to close out the season strong, starting with the final home game of the season against a struggling Michigan State (3-7, 0-7 Big Ten) squad.
Both squad's have not had the seasons they expected after high expectations coming into the year.
Iowa had aspirations of making its first College Football Playoff after completely revamping its quarterback room, including the addition of Walter Payton Award winner Mark Gronowski.
After entering the first CFP Rankings at No. 20 overall, two straight losses cost the Hawkeyes a chance to make the final 12.
