What I saw….
 An Ugly Win.. The Spartan Defense was the MSU Savior ! At the End of the Day.. A”W” is a “W”….
Spartans are now 5 -1, 2 -1 in the Big Ten...

A Spartan Strong Defense, they did what they had to do.  Spartans limited the Iowa Passing, and didn’t give up any big Runs. Spartans sacked Stanzi 3 times.. gave him allot of pressure…

Shonn Greene is a load… Good Back..  The “D” line for Iowa is good as well, better than expected.

The Spartans Offense… Javon is still on of the best in the NCAA…  I think that the passing game needs some work.

Hoyer was great in the first Half.. the second half.. not sure where his focus was…
