UNDATED (AP) — Iowa State’s Breece Hall is averaging 150 yards per game and will go into the 17th-ranked Cyclones’ home game against Baylor on Saturday as the nation’s leading rusher. The sophomore from Wichita, Kansas, has gone over 100 yards in all six games, his four runs of at least 50 yards are most in the country and his 11 rushing touchdowns rank second. Coach Matt Campbell said Hall is an elite talent who has improved since breaking out as a freshman last year. Hall said he’s not surprised by the type of season he’s having.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Colorado Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado has won his eighth consecutive Gold Glove and right fielder Mookie Betts snared his fifth in a row, his first with the World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers after four with Boston. Kansas City Royals left fielder Alex Gordon also won his eighth Gold Glove, and fourth straight, in his final major league season. Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo earned the honor for the third straight year in the pandemic-shortened season and fourth time overall. He was joined for the first time by Cubs shortstop Javier Báez.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers, the NFL’s last unbeaten team, have maintained the top spot in the latest AP Pro32 poll. The Kansas City Chiefs were again close behind as they remained No. 2. The Seattle Seahawks gained a spot to No. 3 after routing San Francisco. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers moved up two spots to No. 4 and the Baltimore Ravens slipped two places to round out the top five.
