About this Article

When Michigan State beat Iowa last season, the Spartans led 31-7 at halftime. That kind of fast start has been nowhere to be found lately. Michigan State hasn’t led after two quarters in more than a month, but the Spartans will try to reverse that trend today when they host the Hawkeyes in a crucial matchup in the Big Ten’s Legends Division.
