EAST LANSING – A record day on special teams and impressive performances on both ends of the line helped Michigan State snap a three-game losing streak.

Jonathan Kim made a program-record six field goals and the Spartans (4-3, 2-2 Big Ten) stymied a potent Iowa (4-3, 2-2) rushing attack for a 32-20 victory on Saturday night.

Although Michigan State struggled to find the end zone, especially in the first half, it moved the ball up and down the field all night and never punted it.

Aidan Chiles had a strong performance and ended the losing streak by completing 22 of 30 throws for 256 yards, one touchdown and an interception. He also rushed for 51 yards and led a balanced attack for the Spartans.

Kay’Ron Lynch-Adams and Nathan Carter combined for 24 carries for 135 yards and a touchdown. True freshman Nick Marsh had eight catches for 113 yards, while Montorie Foster posted a career-high 100 yards and a touchdown on five grabs.

Iowa’s Kaleb Johnson was second in the nation Saturday with 156 yards rushing per game but was bottled up except for a 75-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter.

Cade McNamara, a former starter at Michigan, took his second straight loss in East Lansing while finishing 11-for-23 passing for 150 yards, one touchdown and an interception.

Michigan State racked up 468 yards, almost evenly split, with 256 through the air and 212 on the ground. Iowa totaled just 283 yards

The win gives Michigan State some much-needed momentum heading into next week’s rivalry battle in Michigan. The Wolverines (4-3, 2-2) lost 21-7 at Illinois on Saturday for their second straight loss.

Michigan State got the ball to start the game and put together a strong opening drive before stalling just outside the red zone. Kim split the uprights from 42 yards out to give the Spartans their first lead since the fourth quarter of a Week 4 loss at Boston College. That would be a recurring theme as Michigan State couldn’t get into the end zone and Kim made four field goals in the first half.

After a three-and-out by the defense on Iowa’s first possession, the Spartans mixed run and pass as they headed back down the field before hitting another wall. Iowa appeared to get away with pass interference in the end zone on third down and Kim made a 43-yard field goal to double the lead.

Chiles’ ninth interception of the season gave the Hawkeyes the ball on the Michigan State side of the field, but they still couldn’t get a first down. Drew Stevens had plenty of yardage, but missed a 58-yard field goal wide in the waning seconds of the opening quarter.

The Spartans finally reached the red zone on their fourth possession, but got no further. Kim connected from 36 yards and then 29 for a 12-0 lead. His 55-yard attempt went wide as time expired in the first half for his first miss of the season after drilling his first 13.

Michigan State dominated Iowa in the first half in total yards (250-58), first downs (15-2) and time of possession (21:13-8:47), while also limiting the Hawkeyes to 0-for- 5 on third down.

Coming out of the locker room, Iowa matched the entire first-half yardage of 58 on eight plays while posting the game’s first touchdown. On third-and-8, McNamara hit Reece Vander Zee for an 18-yard score.

Michigan State quickly answered with a nine-play, 75-yard drive to finally get into the end zone. Chiles danced through the Iowa defense for a 26-yard gain before throwing an 18-yard touchdown pass to Foster for a 19-7 lead.

Iowa took advantage of opportunities in the passing game to soften Michigan State’s defense and marched down the field for a second straight touchdown. Backup quarterback Brendan Sullivan, who the Hawkeyes use in goal-line situations, scored on a two-yard run to make it a five-point game in the final minute of the third quarter.

The Spartans couldn’t match the Hawkeyes with another touchdown and turned to Kim again. His 55-yard field goal gave him a 22-14 lead and tied the program record for most in a game, as Paul Edinger (twice in 1998) and John Langeloh (1988) both previously scored five. A 46-yarder four minutes later broke the record, finishing 6-for-7.

Iowa needed just one play to make it a one-possession game again, as Johnson came around the left edge for a 75-yard touchdown run. The two-point conversion failed and Michigan State maintained a 25-20 lead midway through the fourth.

Needing a drive to put the game away, the Spartans got one. Chiles led the team down the field with his arm and Carter punched in a 1-yard touchdown run with 2:03 to play. That secured the victory for Michigan State.
