Iowa football coach Kirk Ferentz moved into fourth place all-time for most wins by a coach in Big Ten history (163). It was an all-around team win from the Hawkeyes on Saturday, as they defeated Michigan State by a final score of 49-7.
Here are the instant takeaways from Iowa’s blowout victory:
- This Iowa defense is extremely opportunistic. They’ve had at least two takeaways in every game this season. The Hawkeyes grabbed three interceptions against Michigan State quarterback Rocky Lombardi in the first half.
- After two disastrous games to start the season, Iowa offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz had a great day calling plays.
