Overview
- Michigan State arrives at 3-7 overall and 0-7 in the Big Ten on a seven-game skid that has ended bowl hopes.
- Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET on FS1 at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City.
- Iowa enters 6-4 (4-3 Big Ten) with a top-10 defense and standout special teams, and the Hawkeyes are roughly a 16.5-point favorite.
- Redshirt freshman Alessio Milivojevic is poised for a third straight start after taking 12 sacks over the past two games, while previously benched Aidan Chiles could be available after a foot injury.
- Recent previews suggest an Iowa victory would intensify external pressure on second-year coach Jonathan Smith, though his job status is not decided.
