Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press

AMES, IA — The No. 19 Hawkeyes yet again made three or four more plays than the Cyclones, and their winning streak over Iowa State now sits at five because of it. Nate Stanley threw for 201 yards and ran for a score, and Iowa made a big fourth-down stop late in the game that allowed the Hawkeyes to beat Iowa State 18-17 on Saturday night.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska took out some frustration on Northern Illinois after letting a win slip away last week. Adrian Martinez threw for two touchdowns and ran for another and Dedrick Mills rushed for 116 yards in the Cornhuskers’ 44-8 win Saturday night. The Cornhuskers (2-1) bounced back from blowing a 17-point lead in an overtime loss at Colorado. NIU (1-2) won 21-17 in Lincoln two years ago but was no match this time.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Mike Moustakas and Yasmani Grandal homered to help the Milwaukee Brewers beat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-2. Milwaukee moved four games behind St. Louis for the National League Central lead.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Zack Greinke finally beat his old club and Yordan Álvarez belted a pinch-hit three-run homer as the Houston Astros beat the Kansas City Royals 6-1. Alex Bregman hit his 36th homer and rookie Kyle Tucker was 4-for-4 for the AL West-leading Astros. Greinke went six innings and handed a 2-1 lead to the bullpen. Héctor Rondón, Joe Smith, Bryan Abreu and Will Harris combined for three scoreless innings. Greinke gave up one run, six hits and no walks. He struck out seven.

BROOKINGS, S.D. (AP) — Kanin Nelson threw two touchdown passes to Cade Johnson and South Dakota State rolled to a 38-10 win over Drake. Pierre Strong and CJ Wilson both ran for more than 100 yards for the Jackrabbits (2-1), who won their 13th straight at home.

No. 19 Iowa rallies to beat Iowa State, 18-17

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Nate Stanley threw for 201 yards and ran for a score, and No. 19 Iowa made a big fourth-down stop late in the game, allowing the Hawkeyes to beat Iowa State 18-17 on Saturday night for their fifth straight win over the Cyclones. Keith Duncan kicked four field goals for the Hawkeyes (3-0, 1-0 Big Ten), who also improved to 4-0 against Iowa State coach Matt Campbell in a game delayed nearly 3 hours because of lightning.

Trailing 18-17 in the closing minutes, Iowa State drove to the Iowa 34 before a false start, a slip by quarterback Brock Purdy and an incompletion brought up fourth-and-13. The Cyclones went for it and, after offsetting penalties led to a do-over, Purdy overthrew Deshaunte Jones near the end zone.

The Cyclones appeared to get another chance when they forced a quick Iowa punt. But the ball hit Datrone Young in the back and Iowa’s Devonte Young recovered it, sealing the win for the Hawkeyes. Iowa State (1-1) opened the scoring on a 51-yard double pass from Purdy to Jones — a converted prep quarterback — to La’Michael Pettway midway through the first quarter.

The Cyclones then moved ahead 14-6 just 57 seconds into the second half on a 73-yard strike from Purdy to Tarique Milton, who breezed past Iowa’s banged-up secondary. Iowa’s defense stiffened, and Stanley’s 1-yard touchdown plunge gave the Hawkeyes a 15-14 lead with 12:10 left. Connor Assalley’s 26-yard field goal gave Iowa State the lead back with 7:46 to go, but Duncan answered from 39 yards with 4:51 left with what proved to be the game-winning kick.

Purdy finished with 276 yards passing and a touchdown for the Cyclones.

TAKEAWAY
Iowa was on the road against its biggest rival and had to deal with two weather delays, turning an afternoon kickoff into a primetime affair. Yet the Hawkeyes still found a way to win, going 10 of 19 on third down and winning the turnover battle, 2-0.

Iowa State looked much better than it did in its opener two weeks ago, when it sleepwalked past Northern Iowa 29-26 in triple overtime. But this was yet another agonizing loss to the Hawkeyes for the Cyclones, who fell 44-41 in overtime two years ago in Ames.

POLL IMPLICATIONS
The Hawkeyes might not move up that much, but the win was nevertheless impressive.

UP NEXT
Iowa is off next week before hosting Middle Tennessee on Sept. 28.
Iowa State hosts Louisiana-Monroe next Saturday.

BROOKINGS, S.D. (AP) — Kanin Nelson threw two touchdown passes to Cade Johnson on Saturday and South Dakota State rolled to a 38-10 win over Drake. Pierre Strong and CJ Wilson both ran for more than 100 yards for the Jackrabbits (2-1), who won their 13th straight at home. Strong had 129 yards on 11 carries, including a 49-yard touchdown run. Wilson had 117 on 10 with a long of 52. Johnson had a 76-yard run on a reverse as South Dakota State had 369 yards on the ground.

Johnson had five catches for 80 yards with scoring plays covering 5 and 36 yards in the third quarter to put SDSU up 31-3. He moved into the top 10 on the school career list for receiving yards with 1,889 yards. The touchdowns put him fifth on the career list with 22. Nelson was 12 of 18 for 158 yards.

Drake (0-3) was held to 289 yards; 57 on the ground. Senior kicker Chase Vinatieri scored eight points, moving within nine of Drake’s career record. The nephew of one-time school record holder and NFL career kicking leader Adam Vinatieri has 313 points, eight behind Park Douglass, who broke Adam Vinatieri’s record of 195.

Iowa State hosts Iowa

September 14th, 2019 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa/Learfield Sports) – Iowa State and Iowa collide in Ames today (Saturday) for the 67th meeting in the series. With College GameDay as a back drop the rivalry is getting more national exposure than ever before and ISU coach Matt Campbell says the Cyclones need to remain focused on the game.

Campbell says it is important not to be distracted by everything going on around the game.

Campbell says like most big games it will come down to who wins in the trenches.

Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz says the Cyclones have become a contender in the Big 12 with defense and it is tough to solve.

Ferentz says the Iowa defense must contend with Iowa State’s run-pass option plays.

Iowa has won four straight in the series and Ferentz says the players know what this game means.

We’ll have coverage of the game here on KJAN beginning at 1-p.m., with the kick-off from Jack Trice Stadium at 3-p.m.

Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Paul Goldschmidt hit a grand slam and a three-run homer to back Adam Wainwright, who pitched six innings of two-hit ball as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Milwaukee Brewers 10-0. The win gave the Cardinals a five-game lead over the third-place Brewers in the NL Central.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — George Springer hit a tiebreaking, three-run homer in the ninth inning, Gerrit Cole win his 13th straight decision and the Houston Astros beat the Kansas City Royals 4-1 to stop a three-game losing streak. Cole struck out 11 in eight innings, reaching double figures for the sixth straight start, and allowed an unearned run and four hits. He is 13-0 in 19 starts since losing to the Chicago White Sox on May 22 and 17-5 overall.

BOSTON (AP) — Carter Stanley threw for three touchdowns, Khalil Herbert rushed for 187 yards on just 11 carries and Kansas stunned Boston College 48-24 for its first road win over a Power Five school in nearly 11 years. The Jayhawks (2-1), who entered as a three-touchdown underdog, won their first road game against a power conference opponent since a victory at Iowa State on Oct. 4, 2008, a span of 48 straight losses.

ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — It will be the end of an era of sorts this weekend in Oakland. Not that anyone figures to be mourning what should be the final NFL game ever played on a field with infield dirt, especially the players who have had to deal with the bad footing, ripped jerseys, scraped arms and legs and hard falls onto a surface with no cushion.

Clarinda grinds out win over Atlantic

Sports

September 13th, 2019 by admin

The Atlantic Trojans came up on the short end of a 34-20 score at Clarinda on Friday night. The Trojans suffered through a mistake prone first half but only found themselves down 14-7 at the break. A 50 yard touchdown pass from Garrett McLaren to Nile Petersen was one of the few offensive highlights in the first half for Atlantic, but gave them something to build on at half.

Clarinda came out and scored on their opening possession of the second half to push it back to a two score game. The Cardinals got the next score of the half as well to lead 27-7. Atlantic fought back though with the next two touchdowns coming from Tyler Moen. Moen scored with 1:00 left in the 3rd quarter on a 4 yard run. Then McLaren hit Moen down the left sideline for an 89 yard touchdown strike to get the Trojans within 27-20 with 7:43 left in the game.

Clarinda then mounted a 13 play drive that took 6:32 off the clock and finished it with a 5 yard touchdown run by Michael Shull to seal the win for the Cardinals. That clinching drive featured a 4th and 2 conversion for the Cardinals from their own 43 yard line. Cole Ridnour was hit short of the line to gain but spun forward to get the extra yard needed to move the chains.

Clarinda finished with 287 yards rushing on the night, led by the quarterback Shull with 150 yards and 3 touchdowns. Connor Brown had a big night as well at the running back spot with 131 yards and 2 scores. The Cardinals improve to 3-0 and will travel to Southwest Valley next week.

Atlantic was led by 91 yards rushing from Tyler Moen with 1 score, he also had two catches for 95 yards and 1 score. The Trojans fall to 1-2 and will host Harlan next week at the Trojan Bowl.
