Spartan QB Maxwell breaks down Iowa on '#BTNLive'

Like all quarterbacks, Michigan State's Andrew Maxwell watches his share of game film. He's taken in plenty on Iowa, this week's opponent, and on Tuesday's "#BTNLive," host Dave Revsine asked him what he's seen. Maxwell's thoughts: "Iowa's interesting to watch on film, because they don't do many things, but what they do do they do very well." The junior also showed a strong knowledge of Iowa's defensive philosophy and recent lineage.

Wisconsin linebacker Mike Taylor also joined the show:
