    EAST LANSING – Jonathan Kim made a program-record six field goals, Aidan Chiles was dynamic both in the air and on the ground and the Michigan State football defense got enough stops to beat Iowa 32-20 at Spartan Stadium on Saturday night.

    The Spartans ran 39 times for 214 yards, Kay’Ron Lynch-Adams led with 86, and Chiles ran 51 yards and passed for 256 and a score. Nick Marsh had eight catches for 113 yards and Montorie Foster Jr. had five for 100 with a touchdown.

    Next Saturday night in Week 9, the Spartans will visit struggling rival Michigan (4-3, 2-2 Big Ten) at Michigan Stadium (7:30 p.m., Big Ten Network).

    MSU (4-3, 2-2 Big Ten) entered the game as a 6½-point underdog with a three-game losing streak, but was the better team from kickoff against Michigan transfer quarterback Cade McNamara and the Hawkeyes (4- 3, 2-2). 2 Big Ten). The Spartans never punted and scored on eight of nine possessions, the only mistake being a Chilean interception in the first half.

    Kim made field goals of 42 and 43 yards in the first quarter, 36 and 29 yards in the second quarter and 55 and 46 yards in the fourth quarter. At the end of the first half, he missed a 55-yarder wide left, keeping MSU’s lead at 12-0.

    Chiles found Foster on an 18-yard corner route for MSU’s first touchdown, and the Spartans held off a furious Iowa rally that saw the Hawkeyes score three touchdowns in the second half after a first-half shutout.

    Nate Carter completed a 1-yard run with 2:03 left to give MSU a two-score lead.
