PREGAME
Antonio Gates Jr., Dillon Tatum, and Chance Rucker are reported as OUT on MSU’s availability report, along with Michael Masunas who underwent shoulder surgery earlier this week. Alante Brown and Avery Dunn are listed as questionable. All-American cornerback Sebastian Castro is out for Iowa.
In Jonathan Smith’s pregame interview with NBC he said MSU is going to need some explosive plays and be ready to strike when the opportunity presents.
FIRST QUARTER
MSU started with the ball, and Brandon Baldwin moved to right guard. Nate Carter immediately ripped off 8 yards, followed by Kay’Ron Lynch-Adams going for another 8.
