Drake drops home game against San Diego

Sports

October 9th, 2022 by admin

(godrakebulldogs.com) The Drake football team stayed within striking distance, but ultimately fell 22-10 to San Diego at Drake Stadium on Saturday (Oct. 8). The Bulldogs are now 0-6 overall (0-3 in Pioneer Football League play) while the Toreros (2-3, 1-1) picked up their first PFL win of the season.

The Bulldogs have yet to give up and go down easily this season. A muffed punt at the beginning of the fourth quarter recovered by Zach Drummond opened the door to a potential comeback.

Ian Corwin scampered in for a 14-yard touchdown run as Drake snuck up on the Toreros trailing 15-10 with 13:43 left in the fourth quarter.

The Bulldog momentum did not last long. Hunter Nichols returned the following kickoff 98 yards for the touchdown as the Toreros took control again, up 22-10. San Diego did not look back in the 22-10 decision.

Drake football will make a relatively short trip north to the Twin Cities to face St. Thomas on Saturday, Oct. 15 at 12 p.m.

UNI falls to Illinois State

Sports

October 9th, 2022 by admin

(UNIpanthers.com) UNI was able to drive into Illinois State territory in the final minute of play, but was unable to complete the comeback as the Panthers fell to the Redbirds, 23-21 in the UNI-Dome on Saturday in Missouri Valley Football Conference play.

Illinois State notched a 41-yard field goal to open the second half as the UNI defense struggled to slow down the Redbird offense. The Panthers used their second possession of the second half to climb back into the game starting at their own 9-yard line, driving down the field to score on a 6-yard rushing touchdown by Sam Schnee early in the fourth quarter. UNI was able to put together one final possession in the final 70 seconds, but was unable to score.

The Panthers return to action next Saturday, Oct. 15 as they host the Utah Tech Trailblazers in non-conference play. Kickoff is scheduled for 4 p.m. CT at the UNI-Dome

Bad offense plagues Iowa State and Iowa

Sports

October 9th, 2022 by admin

Bad offense is unraveling the football season at Iowa State and Iowa and neither team reached the end zone in a loss over the weekend. ISU only managed three field goals in a 10-9 loss to Kansas State. The Cyclones are 0-3 in the Big 12 and for the third straight game the running game was not a factor.

That’s ISU coach Matt Campbell. Jace Gilbert’s three field goals came a week after he missed three in a loss at Kansas.

Campbell on trying to fix the offense.

The Cyclones are 3-3 overall and visit Texas this week.
…………….
Iowa’s offense continues to flounder and the Hawkeyes are now 3-3 after an embarrassing 9-6 loss at Illinois, a game in which the Hawkeyes parlayed three Illini turnovers into three points.

That’s Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz. As has so often been the case this season the offensive line was over-matched by the Illinois defensive line.

The Hawkeyes are off this week before visiting second ranked Ohio State.

Heller receives contract extension at Iowa

Sports

October 8th, 2022 by admin

IOWA CITY, Iowa — University of Iowa head baseball coach Rick Heller has received a contract extension through 2029, the announcement was made Friday by Director of Athletics Chair Gary Barta. 

Since taking over the program in 2013 Heller has led the Hawkeyes to 276 victories — an average of 30 wins per season — advancing to two NCAA Regionals and claiming the first Big Ten Tournament title in program history.  The 2017 title was Iowa’s first since winning the regular season crown in 1990.

Under Heller’s watch, Iowa has advanced to the postseason in six consecutive years for the first time in program history, he has coached 11 All-Americans, one Big Ten Player of the Year, two Big Ten Pitchers of the Year, one Big Ten Freshman of the Year and at least one first-team All-Big Ten selection in seven seasons. Iowa has had 27 Major League Baseball Draft picks (and a total of 30 sign professional contracts) in nine seasons, including 21 in a six-year stretch, the most all-time.

In 2022, Heller led the Hawkeyes to 36 wins — the eighth most in a single season in program history — and finished tied for second in the Big Ten, posting a 17-7 overall record.  Iowa won 20 of 27, 23 of 32 and 30 of 42 games down the stretch, including winning six straight series to close out the regular season.

The Eldon, Iowa, native is the 20th head coach in program history — his fourth stop as a collegiate head coach. He has enjoyed stints at Iowa, Indiana State (2009-13), Northern Iowa (1999-2009), and Upper Iowa (1987-99), leading all four schools to NCAA postseason play.

In 36 seasons as a head coach, Heller owns a career record of 966-740-4. He is one of two Iowa head coaches to lead the program to the NCAA Tournament.

Iowa visits Illinois

Sports

October 8th, 2022 by Ric Hanson

Iowa visits Illinois under the lights. The Hawkeye’s struggling offense will go up against an Illini defense that wants to load the box to stop the run.

That’s Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz who says the Illini want to stop the run.

Ferentz says transfer quarterback Tommy Devito has been a welcomed addition for Illinois.

Kick-off from Illinois is at 6:30-p.m. We’ll have the game for you live, on KJAN, beginning at 4:30 with the pre-game show.

Kick-off from Jack Trice Stadium in Ames is a 6:30-p.m.

Rasmussen hauls in 4 scores and Atlantic picks up road win over Knoxville

Sports

October 8th, 2022 by admin

The Atlantic Trojans long road trip to Knoxville proved to be a successful outing on Friday. Atlantic used some big yardage plays to control the lead and ultimately earned a 39-13 win.

Junior receiver Colton Rasmussen had a monster game for the Trojans, hauling in four touchdown catches. He grabbed the first one from 45 yards out by ripping the ball away from a defender right at the goal line. That seemed to give sophomore quarterback Tristan Hayes some confidence and he threw some great passes throughout.

Tanner O’Brien added a big 51-yard rushing score and Dante Hedrington capped off a 9-play drive with a 3 yard touchdown run with 6:04 left to round out the Atlantic scoring.

Atlantic improves to 3-4 overall and 1-2 in Class 3A District 6 play.

Knoxville dropped to 1-6 on the season and 1-3 in District 6 play.
