Fans can watch the Iowa vs. Michigan State football game live online and see which team can take the Big Ten title – with the added incentive of a College Football Playoff spot on the line.
Michigan State’s LJ Scott (3) runs for a 1-yard touchdown during the second half of the Big Ten championship NCAA college football game against Iowa, Saturday, Dec. 5, 2015, in Indianapolis.
After taking a 6-3 halftime lead then giving it away with two field goals in the third quarter, Beathard opened the fourth with a ideal 85-yard TD pass to Tevaun Smith to make it 13-9.
With 9:31 left in the game, Michigan State drove 82 yards on 22 plays for the go-ahead touchdown by L.J. Scott.
The Spartans marched into Columbus and stole a victory from the previously-unbeaten reigning national champs, though, and improved to 10-1 on the year before winning the last home game of the season to clinch a spot in the Big Ten title game.
RED OUT: For the first time in five Big Ten championship games, there will not be a sea of red inside the stadium. Come to think of it, that’s Michigan State football as well. “I just tried to keep my legs moving, man, working hard for those yards”.
A sack by Demetrius Cooper on first down put a dent in Iowa’s hope of a miracle finish in the final seconds.
But with the season on the line, Cook and the offense made play after play against an Iowa defense that hadn’t given up a touchdown all game – until Scott got free just long enough. Cornerback Arjen Colquhoun and safety Demetrious Cox had started one game between them before this season. “There’s a lot more to do, we’ve got two more games, two more (teams) to play”.
“We gave it all that we had”, Lomax said.
Michigan State has a rivalry with Michigan and has played big games against Ohio State and Wisconsin.
“It’s kind of like I said mid-season or somewhere in there: We’re doing a better job on the takeaways [than the minus-six of 2014], and it’s not like you have a drill for that”, Iowa Coach Kirk Ferentz said. The Big Ten title game win over Ohio State two years ago was a big step for the program and led to a Rose Bowl win over Stanford, but now Dantonio’s “Reach higher” mantra for the season has been fulfilled. “We just go into every game telling ourselves that nobody is built like we are”. He converted the Spartans’ last first down with an option keeper inside the 5-yard line, however, on a fourth-down play that kept the series alive. He also gets another $150,000 for taking his team to the College Football Playoff and could escalate that bonus to $250,000 by winning the national title. “Are we going to weather the storm or be the storm, and I think we did a great job of being the storm after adversity hit”.
Beathard, who lost his first game ever as Iowa’s starting quarterback, finished 18-of-26 for 216 yards with one touchdown and one interception.
The Spartans forced a 6-6 tie on a 29-yard field goal by Geiger with 4:23 remaining in the third quarter, benefitting from field position gained on a roughing the punter call on Iowa’s Aaron Mends which extended the previous drive and backed Iowa up to its own 11-yard line.
