The Walkthrough -- Michigan State

Hey. The Iowa State Trooper says there are a lot of Michigan State fans here today.

The quarterbacks and tight ends are out.

It's 81 minutes to game time.

-- Keep an eye out for James Morris. I think he's fine, just heard some stuff. Same for Jordan Bernstine. I was asked twice this week if I heard he was hurt in practice. No, I haven't heard that, but I can't say I know for sure.

-- I asked Iowa sports info about lineup changes and was told there aren't any beyond Lebron Daniel for Dominic Alvis.

-- Could this be Norm Parker's last game in Kinnick? And then, where does that go? Phil Parker?

-- Say goodbye to Marvin McNutt, who I think is Iowa's greatest wide receiver. Overall. All time.

-- At some point, these coaches will meet and make nice. "Nice."

-- Receivers and specialists out. Bernstine looks fine.

-- Barta on Penn State: "I think everybody has gone through a range of emotions. I liken it to the grieving process. I've gone through anger, sadness . . . I think Penn State did the only option they had to."

-- Morris looks fine.

-- TE Brad Herman out there with a wrapped up hand.

-- No surprises in team.

-- Back in Black and let's see what the bleep happens.
