Michigan State Football Faces Iowa in Must-Win Showdown Today

UPDATE: Michigan State Football is in an urgent battle against Iowa this afternoon, seeking their first Big Ten victory of the season. The game kicks off at 3:30 PM ET at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City, with the Spartans holding a record of 3-7 overall and 0-7 within the Big Ten.

The Spartans have not tasted victory since September 13, 2023, marking a distressing seven-game losing streak that has raised serious questions about the future of head coach Jonathan Smith. Michigan State’s last win in conference play was on November 22, 2024, further intensifying the pressure on the team.

Iowa enters this matchup with a record of 6-4 and 4-3 in the Big Ten, looking to bounce back after two consecutive losses that dashed their hopes for a conference title and a spot in the College Football Playoff. The Hawkeyes, boasting one of the top-10 defenses nationally, are aiming to secure at least eight wins for the tenth time in eleven seasons.

Despite having defeated Iowa last season, a victory that has since been vacated, the Spartans face a daunting task against a tough opponent. The stakes are high as Michigan State aims to halt their losing streak and build momentum heading into their final game of the season against Maryland next week.

This live update will include essential information such as inactives, pregame insights, quarter summaries, injury reports, and more. As Michigan State fights for redemption, fans are encouraged to follow along for the latest developments throughout the afternoon.

Stay tuned as the action unfolds and witness if the Spartans can turn their season around in this critical showdown against Iowa!
