The Iowa Hawkeyes came crashing down to Earth a week ago with a miserable 31-0 loss to Penn State. The loss came in Iowa’s biggest test of the season. But while it pushed the Hawkeyes to 0-1 in the conference and felt like an utter disaster, it was a loss virtually everyone predicted both before the season began and entering Happy Valley last week.
Now the Hawkeyes look to get their season back on track as they return home to take on the Michigan State Spartans. Sparty comes to town riding a two-game losing streak, having failed to reach double digits in either of their last two matchups.
