Iowa takes a 4-2 record on the road to Michigan State. After a successful run at Oregon State Jonathan Smith is in his first season as Spartan coach.

That’s Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz. Dual threat quarterback Aidan Chiles leads a Spartan team that like last week’s opponent, Washington, has several new faces.

Ferentz says the Spartans are much better than their 3-3 record.

Sitting on 200 wins, Ferentz is five away from legendary Ohio State coach Woody Hayes as the Big Ten’s all-time leader.
