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

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Barring a turnaround that doesn’t seem like it’s coming, Iowa’s 2017 season is tending toward forgettable. The Hawkeyes have scored 19 points or less in three of its first four league games and lost all three. Iowa hosts Minnesota on Saturday in a game that’s crucial for bowl eligibility instead of the Big Ten West title.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby believes the federal investigation into corruption in college basketball has brought to light a seedy underbelly of the sport that people have known about all along. He also thinks the investigation that has brought down Louisville coach Rick Pitino and athletic director Tom Jurich is not going away soon.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Fourth-ranked TCU can likely solidify its playoff positioning with a win at No. 25 Iowa State on Saturday. The surprising Cyclones are ranked for the first time in 12 years. TCU is the Big 12’s only undefeated team going into the last weekend before the initial College Football Playoff rankings of this season are released. When TCU last played Iowa State before CFP rankings, the Frogs won by 52 points in the 2014 regular season finale. But they dropped out of the top four and missed the playoff.

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (AP) — Authorities say a drag racer from Kansas has died following a crash at a California track. The Kern County coroner’s office says Brett Henry struck a wall during a race Saturday at Auto Club Famoso Raceway north of Bakersfield. KBAK-TV reports the 50-year-old died the next day at a hospital.

ISU’s Spears earns Defensive Player of the Week honors from Big 12

Sports

October 24th, 2017 by admin

IRVING, Texas – The Big 12 Conference announced Monday that Iowa State sophomore linebacker Marcel Spears was named Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week.

A native of Olathe, Kan., Spears played a huge role in Iowa State’s third-straight win against Texas Tech on Saturday. Spears, who had seven tackles in the game, sealed the victory with his fourth quarter, 61-yard interception return for a touchdown. After Texas Tech had trimmed the lead to 24-13, Spears perfectly read a TTU screen pass and ran untouched for the pick-six to put the game out of reach.

It was Iowa State’s third interception return for a TD this season, tying for third nationally.

Spears is having an outstanding season, ranking fourth in the Big 12 and 44th nationally in tackles per game at 8.7. He is also tied for the team lead in forced fumbles with two. This is the third-straight week an ISU player has been honored by the league: Joel Lanning (Def. PoW- Oklahoma), Kyle Kempt (Off. PoW- Oklahoma) and Trever Ryen (ST PoW- Kansas).

No. 25 Iowa State, 5-2 overall and 3-1 in Big 12 play, will play host to No. 4 TCU on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. CT.

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

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — While the Chiefs spent the weekend ruing a last-play loss to the Raiders, they could at least take solace in another dazzling performance from Kareem Hunt. But the Chiefs also must be mindful of the wear and tear on their rookie running back, who is on pace to finish with nearly 300 carries this season.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — A week after 23rd-ranked Iowa State struggled to beat Army at home in September 2005, it fell out of the Top 25. It would take a dozen years and three different head coaches for the Cyclones to finally return to the national rankings. Iowa State climbed back into the Top 25 at No. 25 on the strength of three straight wins, including victories at Oklahoma and Texas Tech. A huge tests comes Saturday at home against No. 4 TCU.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska running back Tre Bryant, who missed the last five games because of a knee injury, will have surgery that likely will end his season. Coach Mike Riley says the surgery is scheduled for Tuesday. The sophomore from St. Louis may be a candidate to get a season of eligibility back by petitioning for a medical redshirt. The Cornhuskers play at Purdue this Saturday.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Jose Oquendo will return to his role as third base coach for the St. Louis Cardinals next season. Oquendo stepped aside after 16 seasons as the St. Louis third base coach because of health problems prior to the 2016 season. The Cardinals finished third in the National League Central this season and missed the playoffs for the second straight year.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin will host a free exhibition basketball game against Northern Iowa on Nov. 1. Tipoff is 7 p.m. at Kohl Center. The game will raise money for hurricane relief in the southern U.S. and the Caribbean. While admission is free, tickets must be secured online at UWBadgers.com.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — Purdue has scored only 21 points and one touchdown in its past 120 minutes in a 17-9 loss at Wisconsin and a 14-12 loss at Rutgers. Coach Jeff Brohm is hoping to settle on a starting quarterback after using both David Blough and Elijah Sindelar. The Boilermakers host Nebraska on Saturday night.
