December 9th, 2024 by Ric Hanson

AMES, Iowa (Des Moines Register via KCRG) – An Iowa State University football player was arrested early Sunday morning for operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated. According to the Des Moines Register, running back Jaylon Jackson was arrested at 2:38 A.M. at 618 South 17th Street on Sunday. This is Jackson’s first O.W.I arrest.

This year Jackson recorded 388 yards and two touchdowns on 93 total carries. He also has seven receptions for 41 yards and one touchdown. During Saturday’s Big 12 championship loss to Arizona State, Jackson recorded 15 yards in four carries.

In a statement, an Iowa State University football spokesperson said “We are aware of the situation and have no further comment at this time.”

Iowa State will take on Miami in the Pop-Tarts Bowl on December 28th in Orlando, Florida.

Iowa to play No. 19 Missouri in Music City Bowl

Sports

December 8th, 2024 by Ric Hanson

The Iowa Hawkeyes will play Missouri in the Music City Bowl in Nashville on December 30th. The Hawkeyes are 8-4 and beat Kentucky in the 2022 Music City Bowl.

That is Hawkeye coach Kirk Ferentz. Iowa star running back Kaleb Johnson is entering the NFL Draft and will not play in the bowl game. Ferentz says as of right now there are no other players opting out.

For Fertentz this will be his first meeting with Missouri coach Eliah (Eli) Drinkwitz. The teams were slated to meet in the 2020 Music City Bowl but the game was cancelled after a Covid outbreak in the Tiger program. Ferentz says Drinkwitz is building a consistent winner at Mizzou.

The Tigers beat Ohio State in last season’s Cotton Bowl and they are 19th in the final college football playoff rankings.

December 8th, 2024 by Ric Hanson

Iowa State will play Miami in the Pop Tarts Bowl on Saturday, December 28th in Orlando, Florida. The Cyclones are 10-3 after a 45-19 loss to Arizona State in the Big 12 title contest and the last time they played in this game it was called the Cheez-It Bowl.

That’s ISU coach Matt Campbell who says it gives the Cyclones a chance to end a record breaking season with a win.

With a win the Cyclones would be the first team in program history to record 11 wins.

The Cyclones are 18th in the final playoff rankings. Miami is 10-2 and ranked 13th.

No. 16 Iowa State Falls in Big 12 Title Game

December 8th, 2024 by Ric Hanson

ARLINGTON, Texas – No. 16 Iowa State (10-3, 7-2 Big 12) fell to No. 15 Arizona State (11-2, 7-2 Big 12) in the Dr Pepper Big 12 Championship game Saturday afternoon, 45-19.

After both teams scored on their first two drives of the game, the Cyclones eventually found themselves trailing by two touchdowns at halftime, 24-10. Carson Hansen scored on a three-yard reception on ISU’s opening drive of the game and Kyle Konrardy split the uprights on the next drive.

A mistake-riddled third quarter quickly dampened any hope of a Cyclone comeback. Iowa State turned the ball over on its first three drives of the second half and Arizona State cashed in touchdowns following all three to break open a 45-10 lead.

Rocco Becht was 21-of-35 and finished with 214 yards and two touchdowns. Jayden Higgins had 115 yards on seven receptions while Jaylin Noel turned in five catches for 64 yards and a touchdown.

Arizona State’s Cam Skattebo ran for 170 yards and two touchdowns. He also had two receptions for 38 yards and another score. Quarterback Sam Leavitt completed 12-of-17 passes for 219 yards and three touchdowns.

Iowa State awaits its bowl destination after its first 10-win season in program history. Stay tuned to cyclones.com for the latest updates.

No. 17 Hawkeyes Fall to Tennessee, 78-68

Sports

December 8th, 2024 by Ric Hanson

BROOKLYN, New York – The nationally ranked University of Iowa women’s basketball team fell to Tennessee, 78-68, at the Shark Beauty Women’s Champions Classic on Saturday night. The Hawkeyes are now 8-1 on the season.

In the first quarter, Tennessee jumped out to an 8-0 lead within the first few minutes, but the Hawkeyes answered after committing five turnovers. Iowa had the game tied at 10 at the first media timeout. Lucy Olsen recorded a game-high 11 points to give the Hawkeyes a 22-18 lead after the first 10 minutes of action.

In the second quarter, it was a balanced effort for the Hawkeyes. With Addi O’Grady and Olsen sidelined with foul trouble, Iowa held serve with efficiency from junior forward, Hannah Stuelke. The Cedar Rapids, Iowa native, contributed seven points, a game-high six rebounds, and three assists in the first 20 minutes. Iowa and Tennessee were tied at 35 at halftime despite the Hawkeyes offense turning it over 18 times. 23 of the Lady Vols’ 35 points were provided by Iowa turnovers.

In the third quarter, Iowa did a better job protecting the ball only committing five turnovers. The game was back and forth in the period, but Tennessee regained the edge, 55-52. Olsen led all scorers with 19 points and was a perfect 9-for-9 from the charity stripe through three.

In the final frame, Tennessee’s defense continued to give Iowa fits. The Lady Vols closed the game on an 11-1 run over the last three minutes. Olsen and O’Grady combined for 40 of Iowa’s total points.

UP NEXT
The Hawkeyes will return home to host #20/19 Iowa State in the Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series on Wednesday, Dec. 11, at 8 p.m. (CT) inside a sold-out Carver-Hawkeye Arena. The game is set to broadcast on FS1 and the Hawkeye Radio Network.
