WATCH: MSU QB Aidan Chiles Talks Bye Week, Looks Ahead to Iowa
EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Michigan State was able to reflect on the first half of its season and also do some preparation for Iowa during the bye week.
Offensively, there was plenty to look at. This unit, as well as quarterback Aidan Chiles have a ton of potential, but the self-inflicted wounds have to be limited going forward. Especially for the Spartans to have a shot at defeating Iowa.
Chiles addressed the media on Tuesday, discussing the bye week, the season so far and the upcoming matchup with Iowa.

Below is a transcript from Michigan State coach Jonathan Smith's press conference on Monday:
Smith: "Well, bye week wrapped up, and I do think it came at a good time for us. Kind of about that midway point, played six games, the thorough look at, really, every play of those six games and analyzing a bunch of different ways. Looking for obviously, some tendencies, where we got to improve on some things we've done well, that we got to be able to build off of. I thought the coaches and the players did a nice job, with kind of doing that. Practice just on Wednesday last week. And then we did go last night, getting a little bit of a head start on Iowa. But I appreciate the approach the guys [took] through the week. And then there was some of just getting refreshed, a couple of days off, get their mind away from it. And so I was pleased with kind of how they approached the week. And now, we're headed into a big-time challenge coming on Saturday. Program I got a bunch of respect for -- the way they do things, the longevity of Coach [Kirk] Ferentz. Talk about one of the best in the business. I think I read that he just won his 200th game, which is just so impressive. I think it looks like an Iowa team that plays a physical brand of football -- running the thing, high-end defense, special teams is elite, they can beat you in the pass game offensively, a little bit on what they've shown in this first half the season, so we got a big-time challenge coming from Homecoming Weekend, so excited about getting a bunch of alumni back for a night game Saturday night."
