Brion looks at week 5 opponent Michigan State and the games played from 1953 to 1978 before Hayden Fry arrived. Surprisingly, Michigan State College (as they were known in the early 1950's) didn't join the Big Ten officially until 1953, and Iowa had never played them prior to when they joined the conference.
The Hawks were 5-10-1 during this stretch, as Michigan State had some dominant National Championship teams in the 1950's and 1960's. I'll highlight the history of MSU against Fry and Ferentz in a future podcast.
Player profile this week are Bryan Bulaga and Mitch King.
