Michigan State football: What we learned at Iowa, what to watch vs. Indiana Hoosiers

Looking ahead to Michigan State football's game Saturday against Indiana, after the Spartans' 49-7 blowout loss at Iowa.

Three things we learned

Regression session: A week after putting together a complete three-phase game in winning at Michigan, the Spartans came apart on offense, defense and special teams against the Hawkeyes. The Spartans’ defense gave up first-half touchdowns, quarterback Rocky Lombardi had an interception returned for another, and Iowa’s Charlie Jones returned a punt for a touchdown. MSU allowed 405 yards on offense, including 226 on the ground, and gave up another 105 to Jones on punt returns.
