Iowa takes a 4-2 record to Michigan State, Saturday night. The Hawkeyes are in search of their first win in East Lansing since 2012. Hawkeye coach Kirk Ferentz says balanced offense was a key in that game and it starts with an effective run game.

Ferentz says the offensive line is doing a better job in pass protection but that will be a challenge against the Spartans.

Ferentz credits experience for improved offensive line play.
