Michigan State at Iowa: Can Spartans’ offense get back on track to pull upset?

See how the Spartans Wire staff sees the MSU-Iowa game playing out this weekend

Can Michigan State find a way to mustard up enough offense to upset the Iowa Hawkeyes on Saturday?

It’s been a rough go for the Spartans the past two weeks, especially offensively. Michigan State has been held to only combined points in blowout losses against Washington and Maryland, and now will have to face an even better defensive team in Iowa on the road.

So is it possible for the Spartans to find the endzone enough to pull the upset of the Hawkeyes? See what the Spartans Wire staff thinks in our weekly Michigan State predictions below:

MSU football to start QB Noah Kim vs. Iowa on Saturday

Despite a pair of tough outings the past two weeks, Michigan State will continue to roll with Noah Kim as its starting quarterback.

Despite a pair of tough outings the past two weeks, Michigan State will continue to roll with Noah Kim as its starting quarterback.

On Monday, Michigan State acting head coach Harlon Barnett confirmed the Spartans will stick with Kim as the starter for this week’s matchup against Iowa. This is the first road game of the year for the Spartans and will mark Kim’s first career start on the road.

Kim got off to a fast start this year for the Spartans but has since struggled once the competition got harder. In the last two games against Washington and Maryland, Kim has completed less than 50 percent of his passes for 326 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions.

Kim will need to respond with a strong performance against Iowa’s always solid defense in this week’s road test. If he doesn’t, Michigan State will surely lose its third straight game.
