Harlon Barnett says he is adjusting to his new role as head coach at Michigan State. The former assistant was elevated to interim coach after Mel Tucker was fired. The Spartans take a 2-2 record into Kinnick Stadium Saturday night to play Iowa.

The Spartans are coming off back-to-back lopsided losses at home and this will be their first road game of the season.

Barnett says handling the atmosphere in Kinnick Stadium will be a key.

Barnett says the Hawkeyes are much better than what they showed in the loss at Penn State.
