Iowa State last year? Or were you talking about kickoffs?
Jermelle Lewis had one against Mich State several years ago...

The one that comes to mind is C.J. Jones in the Orange bowl but now that i've thought about it, did Jermelle Lewis have one against Arizona State in '03 or '04?

Nevermind, it was Walner Belleus who returned a punt for a TD against Arizona State not a kick return by Lewis. My mistake. I think you're right hawkfan.

I believe the Johnson return was a blocked field goal against Purdue in 2002. I know Lewis had a big return against MSU in '04, but I don't know if he scored, or if it was on a kickoff. Should be easy enough to find out; either way, it's been a long time.
Turns out, it was the Orange Bowl in '03.

Concerning this weekends game, the secondary has to keep tabs on Blair White. He is MSU's version of Eric Decker (read-only deep threat), and he burned Iowa a 3 or 4 times last year and contributed greatly to their win last year. Overall, this game will probably play out just like the Penn State and Wisconsin games did - Sparty will land a couple of punches early while the Iowa defense figures out what is going on, the Iowa offense will struggle for it's first couple of series but then put together just long enough of a drive to let the defense right itself. and that drive will end in a punt from around midfield or a field goal.
Lather, rinse, repeat.

And we lost big to USC.
Think with your heads...not with your hearts.
It will be a tough battle and 2 things determine who wins.
turnovers/points of turnovers
Stanzi performance
if he does good then we will run against them and do better in total
At this time I would have to favor MSU...just like I did Wisconsin.
Let's hope I'm wrong for the 2nd week in a row...I like that if the Hawks win.
Go HAWKS

In 2004, when we got our a$$es handed to us at ASU, Walner Belleus (#10) ran the final kick-off back to the house, preventing a shut-out... 44 - 7.
Brodell had a PR for a TD last year vs ISUx, and Jovon had an "odd" PR for touchdown against Ball St. in 2005.

I too am on the leary feelings of this game. 0-7 at EL is very unsettling. However like Jim Zabel said when Iowa had that long winning streak against Wis. that sooner or later that streak had to come to an end. Iowa is playing well and full of confidence. I hope this is the year. Stanzi will remember last year where he had a rough time. It could be sweet revenge for him. The only nagative is could playing at EL be like Iowa playing Penn St. Ferentz has JoPa's number. Could the Spartans have Iowa's number in their house. We will find out. War Hawks for staying undefeated. Let's get 8-0
Recent? Iowa hasn't won in East Lansing since 1995! 14 years is a loooooong time.

I agree with the people that are worried about this game! I am worried wwith our problems up there, also the fact that They have improved so much after a slow start! People took to much away from them after the Central Michigan loss. We are the last ones to point to that after getting swamped by Western Michigan a few years ago! I hope you guys that are predicting a victory are right , but I'll be nervous until the game is won!
