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

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Two days after clarity came to Nebraska’s quarterback situation, things got complicated again. True freshman Adrian Martinez will be the starter when the Cornhuskers begin the Scott Frost era against Akron at home on Saturday night. Tristan Gebbia is the man he beat out for the job. Gebbia wasn’t at practice Monday and the university registrar said he was no longer enrolled. That would leave sophomore walk-on Andrew Bunch as the top backup

LISBON, Iowa (AP) — A brother of slain Iowa college student Mollie Tibbetts played through his grief and led his high school football team to victory in the season opener. The Des Moines Register reports that Scott Tibbetts threw for two touchdowns and ran for another as Brooklyn-Guernsey-Malcom High School beat Lisbon High 35-24 on Friday. The win came less than 48 hours before a memorial service Sunday for his 20-year-old sister. A suspect led investigators to her body in a cornfield on Tuesday.
