Michigan State football dropped their eighth consecutive game last Saturday, falling on the road to Iowa, 20-17.

The Spartans dominated for the majority of the game, until a brutal fourth quarter let a double digit lead slip away, where the Hawkeyes found a way to pull the game out.

On offense, it was a surprisingly strong performance against a good Iowa defense, where the team hung in for three quarters. Unfortunately, a poor fourth quarter is going to leave a sour taste in a lot of mouths.

After looking at the film, and evaluating the game, Pro Football Focus (Subscription Required) gave out their grades for the Spartans in the game.
