MSU & U-M win big on the road; EMU becomes bowl eligible
The Michigan State Spartans scored on their opening drive to built a 31-7 halftime lead. The 14 first-quarter points were more than MSU had finished with in its other three road games. Although the Iowa Hawkeyes rallied in the second half with two touchdowns, it would be the Spartans coming out of Kinnick Stadium with a 37-21 victory over Iowa.
It was MSU's first win at Iowa City since 1989. The victory kept Michigan State in the driver's seat to win the Big Ten's Legends Division with two games remaining.
Spartans quarterback Kirk Cousins finished the game throwing for 260 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions.
After going down to Iowa last week, the Michigan Wolverines bounced back with a 31-14 road win over the Illinois Fightning Illini at Memorial Stadium.
#22 Michigan (8-2, 4-2 Big Ten) secured its most wins in a season since 2007 by controlling the first half. The Wolverines built a 14-0 lead and finished strong late, answering Illinois' two late-game touchdowns with two of their own.
Alex Gillett threw four touchdown passes to lead the Eastern Michigan Eagles to a 30-17 victory over the Buffalo Bulls. Gillett connected on two TD throws apiece with Demarius Reed and Garrett Hoskins for the Eagles (6-4, 4-2 MAC).
Gillett went 10-for-15 for 234 yards and ran for 89 yards. EMU outgained Buffalo 413 yards to 252 and converted 7 of 16 third downs to just 1 of 13 for the Bulls. Eastern Michigan also sacked Buffalo's quarterback Chazz Anderson five times.
