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

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The Ohio State-Nebraska game matches two of the five programs with the most major college football wins in history. The teams are in very different places entering Saturday night’s game in Lincoln. The ninth-ranked Buckeyes beat Nebraska by 59 points last year in Columbus and have dominated four straight opponents since their loss at home to Oklahoma.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The unbeaten Chiefs are looking to get even when the Steelers roll into town Sunday. It was Pittsburgh that knocked the AFC West champs out of the playoffs last season, in their own house no less. But the Chiefs and Steelers are different teams now, with Kansas City flying high and Pittsburgh trying to bounce back from a humiliating loss to Jacksonville.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs have pushed the boundaries of offensive creativity this season and that’s a big reason for their 5-0 start. Jet sweeps and read-options and a whole bunch of other sets have allowed coach Andy Reid and offensive coordinator Matt Nagy to keep defenses guessing. And they’ve allowed the Chiefs’ biggest offensive stars to show off.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin running back Jonathan Taylor seems to be adapting just fine to college football. The true freshman is fourth in the nation in rushing at 153.5 yards per game heading into Saturday’s game against Purdue. Ohio State’s J.K. Dobbins and Iowa’s A.J. Epenesa have also made impressive starts as true freshmen. At rebuilding Illinois, coach Lovie Smith has started 13 true freshmen this season, more than any school in the country.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State has long been accustomed to responding to failure. How will the Cyclones handle success? Iowa State is on a roll heading into a game that nearly everyone expects to be a blowout in favor of the Cyclones. Iowa State is a 21-point favorite for Saturday’s matchup against Kansas _ just a week after stunning Oklahoma 38-31 in Norman as a 31-point underdog.
