Sports

September 11th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Ryan Braun hit a solo home run in the ninth inning and the Milwaukee Brewers beat St. Louis 2-1 Sunday, dropping the Cardinals back in the NL wild-card race. The Cardinals are a half-game behind the Mets for the second wild-card slot.

Braun connected off Kevin Siegrist (5-3) for his 27th homer of the season. St. Louis had tied it in the eighth when Matt Carpenter doubled and scored on Stephen Piscotty’s sacrifice fly off Tyler Thornburg (6-5).

Chiefs overcome 17-point deficit, beat Chargers 33-27 in OT

September 11th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Alex Smith dived for a touchdown on the first possession of overtime, completing the Kansas City Chiefs’ frantic rally from a 17-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat the San Diego Chargers 33-27 in their season opener Sunday.

Smith threw for 363 yards and two touchdowns, the second a back-shoulder fade to Jeremy Maclin with just over nine minutes left in the fourth quarter that trimmed the Chiefs’ deficit to 27-17. Cairo Santos kicked a 33-yard field goal a few minutes later, and after forcing a three-and-out, Spencer Ware finished off a four-play drive with a touchdown plunge to knot it at 27.

Kansas City needed 10 plays to march 75 yards in overtime, and Smith finished off one of the biggest comebacks in franchise history with his keeper from the 2-yard line on third-and-goal.

BROOKINGS, S.D. (AP) — Taryn Christion threw for a career-high four touchdowns and ran in another score to lead South Dakota State to a 56-28 win over Drake on Saturday night. Jake Wieneke hauled in three of those TD throws, his only receptions of the game, to tie a school record with 32 career touchdowns.

South Dakota State (1-1) jumped to a 21-0 lead in the first quarter and was never threatened the rest of the way. Jared Blum intercepted a pass from Drake’s Andrew Clifford, returning it for a touchdown in the third quarter, and Jake Harms returned a blocked punt for a TD in the fourth. Christion was 24 of 28 for 224 yards and had a touchdown throw to Dallas Goedert.

Drake (0-2) got touchdown throws from Cody Thibault and Grant Kraemer. Conley Wilkins had a 3-yard touchdown run, and Drew Lauer returned a kick 87 yards for a touchdown.

Cards beat the Brewers 5-1, Saturday

Sports

September 11th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

St. Louis bolstered its playoff chances by scoring five times in the eighth to beat Milwaukee 5-1. Kolten Wong snapped a 1-1 deadlock with an RBI single and scored on Stephen Piscotty’s two-run double later in the eighth. Adam Wainwright allowed a run and six hits in eight innings, blanking the Brewers following Keon Broxton’s solo shot in the fifth.

The Redbirds are a half-game ahead of New York for the second NL wild-card berth after Adonis Garcia laced an RBI single in the bottom of the 10th to give Atlanta a 4-3 triumph over the Mets.

Montana holds off Northern Iowa 20-14 in FCS showdown

September 11th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) — Jerry Louie-McGee returned a punt 81 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter and Montana held on to defeat Northern Iowa 20-14 on Saturday in a matchup of FCS powers. Brady Gustafson hit Josh Horner for a 34-yard score and Tim Semenza kicked two field goals for the Grizzlies (2-0), all in the first half.

Tyvis Smith, who had 130 yards, scored on a 1-yard touchdown plunge in the first quarter and Daurice Fountain hauled in a 28-yard pass from Aaron Bailey with 8:01 remaining to give the Panthers (1-1) a chance.

Northern Iowa, which beat Iowa State last week, had 351 yards to 206 for Montana, but also had two turnovers and was 6 of 19 on third down and 0 for 3 on fourth. The Grizzlies only had 70 yards in the second half but didn’t have a turnover. Northern Iowa forced Iowa State into four turnovers in its 25-20 win.

No. 16 Iowa throttles Iowa State 42-3

Sports

September 11th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — C.J. Beathard threw for 235 yards and three touchdowns and 16th-ranked Iowa throttled Iowa State 42-3 on Saturday night, its biggest win over the rival Cyclones in 18 seasons under coach Kirk Ferentz. LeShun Daniels rushed for 112 yards and a TD to help the Hawkeyes (2-0) beat Iowa State in consecutive seasons for the first time in six years.

Beathard put the game out of reach with the three TD passes in the first half — including a brilliant 12-yard toss to a heavily defended Matt VandeBerg. VandeBerg finished with 129 yards receiving, and Allen Lazard caught seven passes for 111 yards.

By jumping out to a big lead, the Hawkeyes negated Iowa State’s efforts to get star back Mike Warren going after a rough opener. Warren, who led all freshmen nationally with 1,337 yards a year ago, had just 28 on seven carries. Joel Lanning was 8 of 20 for 86 yards and an interception for Iowa State and was pulled late in the third quarter for Jacob Park, setting up a potential quarterback controversy just two games into the season.

Up next: The Hawkeyes will host five-time defending FCS national champion North Dakota State next week in their final non-conference game. The Bison beat Eastern Washington 50-44 on overtime Saturday;  The Cyclones open Big 12 play on the road next week, against TCU.

Huskers capitalize on 6 Wyoming turnovers in a 52-17 rout

Sports

September 10th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) – Tommy Armstrong Jr. passed for 377 yards and three touchdowns, Kieron Williams ran back one of Josh Allen’s five interceptions for a score and Nebraska defeated Wyoming 52-17 on Saturday. The Cornhuskers (2-0) started their 28-point fourth quarter on Armstrong’s perfectly thrown 34-yard touchdown pass to Jordan Westerkamp. Armstrong later flipped a 9-yarder to Westerkamp for his school-record 57th career TD pass.

Williams ran back an interception 23 yards for a touchdown to put Nebraska up 24-10, but the Cowboys (1-1) answered with a six-play, 76-yard drive to make it a seven-point late in the third quarter. Westerkamp caught four balls for 105 yards and Alonzo Moore had three catches for 109.

Allen, who played a turnover-free game in last week’s triple-overtime win over Northern Illinois, accounted for all six Wyoming turnovers. Tanner Gentry had seven catches for 124 yards for his second straight 100-yard receiving game.

Chiefs release LB Dezman Moses to reach 53-man roster limit

September 10th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – The Chiefs have released linebacker Dezman Moses to reach the 53-man roster limit. Kansas City had a roster exemption for All-Pro safety Eric Berry, who didn’t sign his franchise tender until late in training camp. It expired on Saturday, forcing them to release Moses to reach the NFL’s limit ahead of Sunday’s opener against San Diego.

Berry didn’t play in any preseason games but is expected to start against the Chargers. Moses has been active for 13 games for Kansas City each of the past two seasons, though most of his work has been on special teams. He had just one tackle a year ago.
