5 standout players from MSU's massive win over Iowa

But the turnovers and costly mistakes were too much, and they at least cost the Spartans a win against Boston College. But against Iowa and an impressive defense?

Chiles shined. He was 22 of 30 passing for 256 yards and a touchdown. An interception, yes. Another litter that should have been selected too. But he recovered every time. The flashy plays were far more common than the head-smacking plays.

The incredible touch pass to Montorie Foster Jr. when the Spartans desperately needed a touchdown. The planned runs made the defenders look foolish as they missed and slipped off him. Chiles had 51 yards on the ground. The decision making was there.

The command and operations team was on site. Chiles was electric. The fans have been waiting for this game. Maybe it's the first of many, as Chiles looks like he's made a huge leap in his development.

Lynch-Adams is this team's best ball carrier. Plain and simple. That was clear in the first game of the season, but against an incredible rush defense, Lynch-Adams did everything that running backs coach Keith Bhonapha praised him for.

Lynch-Adams is elusive, twitches violently and runs away in anger. The first tackler will probably miss him. Otherwise they will jump or fall off. The running back also doesn't get enough credit for his power and speed.

Lynch-Adams was in control of the Hawkeyes, gaining 86 yards on 15 carries for a stellar 5.7 yard average. He also had three receptions for 17 yards. This team doesn't move the ball as effectively as it would without Lynch-Adams.

The true freshman continues to look like one of the best freshmen to ever suit up for the Green and White. Marsh's eight catches for 113 yards were crucial to the Spartans' scoring chances. His 40 yards after the catch was also telling.

The first defender will miss. Or move on from Marsh, who struggles with about as much effort as any other pass catcher in the Big Ten. Marsh's running route, particularly over the middle, left the Hawkeyes helpless. He opens up. He makes plays when the ball is in his hands.

He nearly scored a massive touchdown when he came up just short on an electric play that featured nearly every tool he had on display. Marsh will be dominant in the coming years and it looks like Courtney Hawkins has his next NFL talent.

If this freshman class of wide receivers weren't so deep — Jeremiah Smith, Ryan Williams, Ryan Wingo and others — Marsh would undoubtedly be more talked about across the country. What he is doing at his age is absurd.

“Kim is him.”

Kim is arguably the most valuable player in the game. The Spartans' struggles in the red zone were egregious, but it didn't cost them the game as Kim tied the program record with six field goals. They weren't chip shots either.

42, 43, 36, 29, 55, 46.

Those are NFL kicks, by the way. His miss, another 55-yarder, was dragged out a bit. Had more than enough boots behind it. The kicks were also easy to grip. Every single one of them. Without them, the Spartans sweat a lot more. Without the kicks, the Spartans lose.

Kim could have asserted herself as one of the best kickers in the country. And the NFL will definitely notice.

Selecting a defensive player for this game is incredibly difficult. All 11 (and then some) were as good as it gets. Everyone flew to the ball, played physical and simply dominated the Hawkeyes in a performance that held Iowa to 283 yards, 12 first downs and about 19 minutes of possession.

However, Martinez needs to get the credit. He was all over the field, almost like a linebacker from sideline to sideline. He was all over Johnson, the indomitable Hawkeyes running back. You could feel Martinez’s presence.

Of course, he had Cade McNamara's interception, which gave the Spartans more points three minutes into the fourth quarter.
