IOWA CITY, Iowa – The University of Iowa football team will play two Friday contests and open the season with a 2:30 p.m. (CT) contest Saturday, Oct. 24 at Purdue. The schedule for the opening week of Big Ten football was announced Monday morning by the conference office, along with select Friday contests.

As has been the case in recent years, the Hawkeyes and Nebraska will meet the day after Thanksgiving in the Heroes Game. That contest will air on either FOX or FS1, with the start time in Kinnick Stadium to be announced at a later date.

With the schedule change, Iowa and Nebraska will meet on Black Friday for the 10th consecutive year. That streak was originally scheduled to end in 2020. The Big Ten Conference announced in 2017 that the teams would move off the Black Friday date in 2020 and 2021. The 2020 schedule was twice altered due the COVID 19 pandemic.

Iowa’s game at Minnesota, originally scheduled for Friday, Sept. 18, will be played Friday, Nov. 13. The annual contest for Floyd of Rosedale will kick at 6 p.m. (CT) on FS1.

Start times and network television designation for remaining Iowa contests will be announced later. Following is Iowa’s updated schedule:

 Oct. 24        at Purdue, 2:30 p.m. CT, BTN
Oct. 31        Northwestern, TBA
Nov. 7        Michigan State, TBA
Nov. 13      at Minnesota, 6 p.m., FS1
Nov. 21      at Penn State, TBA
Nov. 27      Nebraska, TBA
Dec. 5         at Illinois, TBA
Dec. 12       Wisconsin, TBA
Dec. 19       Champions Week

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Nebraska will play at Iowa on the day after Thanksgiving, continuing a tradition that started when the Cornhuskers joined the Big Ten in 2011. The Big Ten announced the game would be played Nov. 27 instead of Nov. 28. In another schedule change, Iowa will play at Minnesota on Nov. 13, a Friday, instead of on Nov. 14. This will mark the 31st straight season Nebraska has played on Black Friday, dating to the 1990 season.

In addition to 10 matchups with Iowa, the Cornhuskers played Colorado for 15 straight seasons from 1996-2010 and met Oklahoma six consecutive years from 1990-95.

Here is the latest sports news from The Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Derek Carr threw for 347 yards and three touchdowns, outplaying Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes along the way, and the Las Vegas Raiders nearly shut out the potent Kansas City offense in the second half to rally for a 40-32 victory that ended the Chiefs’ franchise-record 13-game winning streak. The Chiefs trailed 40-24 before a late TD pass, but Josh Jacobs ran for a first down and Carr sneaked for another on fourth-and-1 to clinch the Raiders’ first win at Arrowhead Stadium since October 2012. The Chiefs had won 28 of their last 30 games against the AFC West.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Patrick Mahomes has quickly earned a reputation for pulling off the seemingly impossible, whether it’s a no-look pass or a 70-yard heave or merely leading the Kansas City Chiefs to victory when all hope seems lost. But it was the Chiefs’ inability to execute the simple stuff that hurt them against the Las Vegas Raiders. They blew coverages, were penalized at the most inopportune times and were unable to get the kind of crazy plays late in the games that have bailed them out in the past.

SEATTLE (AP) — Russell Wilson capped a 94-yard drive with a 6-yard touchdown pass to DK Metcalf on fourth-and-goal with 15 seconds left to give the Seattle Seahawks a 27-26 triumph over the Minnesota Vikings. Wilson finished 20 of 32 for 217 yards and three touchdowns as the Seahawks improved to 5-0 for the first time in franchise history. Alexander Mattison rushed for a career-high 112 yards but was stopped on fourth-and-1 at the Seattle 6 with 1:57 left, setting the stage for yet another Wilson comeback.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott sustained a dislocation and compound fracture of his right ankle during a 37-34 win over the New York Giants. Prescott has never missed a start in four-plus seasons with the Cowboys and was on track to have a career year until he suffered the injury late in the third quarter. Backup Andy Dalton led a drive that ended with Greg Zuerlein’s 34-yard field goal as time expired.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — The Los Angeles Lakers have won their 17th NBA championship with a 106-93 victory over the Miami Heat in Game 6. LeBron James delivered 28 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists to secure his fourth career NBA title and the Lakers’ first in a decade. L.A. took command by outscoring the Heat, 36-16 in the second quarter to carry a 28-point lead into intermission.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Blake Snell worked the first five innings before four relievers completed a combined nine-hitter in the Tampa Bay Rays’ 2-1 win over Houston in Game 1 of the AL Championship Series. Randy Arozarena (ah-rah-zah-RAY’-nah) tied it with a fourth-inning homer and Mike Zunino singled home the lead run in the fifth. Diego Castillo closed out the victory after getting Yuli Gurriel (gur-ee-EHL’) to ground into a double play to end the eighth inning.

(A-P, Kansas City) – The reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers both entered Sunday undefeated. Only the Steelers left that way.Derek Carr threw three touchdown passes and Josh Jacobs ran for two more scores as the Las Vegas Raiders won 40-32 at Kansas City.

Rookie receiver Chase Claypool scored four touchdowns in the Steelers’ 38-29 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. The second-round pick from Notre Dame scored on a 2-yard run and on catches of 32, 5 and 35 yards.
