Michigan St DB Williamson practicing, unlikely to face Iowa
But it’s the dynamic play at quarterback that has each dreaming of a national championship.
Iowa has the opportunity to show that they belong in the Playoffs this Saturday when they take on Michigan State.
Blythe, a native of Williamsburg, has started 47 games for the Hawkeyes over the past four seasons, including 43 consecutive games.
Despite not being in playoff position heading into the final week, the Spartans are in as good of a position as they could have asked for after falling in controversial and disappointing fashion last month at Nebraska.
Coach Mark Dantonio’s instinct was right when he tossed the keys to Cook in 2013, supplanting former captain Andrew Maxwell. “That’s what we’re getting ready for, taking on the best opponent that we’ve seen this season and making certain that we are ready to go”.

The victor of the game will likely move onto the final spot of the College Football Playoff. “But I’m sure they have similar thoughts that go through their head that we’ve had”. The Hawkeyes defend the run as well as anyone, meaning Cook, the fifth-year senior, will need to be at his best to get the Spartans’ offense rolling.
“He has become a better student of the game this year in the way he studies film and the way he prepares for games, ” Ferentz said.
It used to be about validation for the Spartans, but that changed two years ago with their first Rose Bowl trip in 26 years. At the moment Alabama is the team that most experts believe will win it all but we have been down this road before. When asked about the special teams gaffes of the past, Ferentz said, “Thanks for bringing up all those great memories”.
“That will help us in terms of covering the spectrum of how teams play throughout hockey”, he said.
“We’ve not been able to create any puck luck this year”, said Anastos, “so it’s going to come in droves at some point. We’re working for a championship, it’s no secret, we talk about it every week”.
