Iowa Clobbers MSU In Spartans' First Loss Of '10
Iowa emphatically knocked Michigan State off the pile of unbeaten teams.
Ricky Stanzi threw three touchdown passes and the 18th-ranked Hawkeyes handed the fifth-ranked Spartans their first loss, stomping the Spartans 37-6 on Saturday.
Adam Robinson added a pair of touchdowns for the charged-up Hawkeyes, who rolled out to a 30-0 halftime lead and dealt a crushing blow to the Spartans' national title hopes.
Iowa (6-2, 3-1 Big Ten) jumped ahead 17-0 when Micah Hyde went 66 yards after taking a pitch from safety Tyler Sash, who had picked off a pass.
Stanzi then found Robinson for a 32-yard TD pass, and Robinson's 2-yard touchdown run put the Hawkeyes ahead by 30 with 1:01 left in the first half.
