DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Iowa quarterback James Vandenberg has had one of the most surprisingly miserable senior seasons anyone could imagine. It’s not going to cost him his job. Hawkeyes coach Kirk Ferentz reiterated on Tuesday that Vandenberg is his starter for Saturday’s game at Northwestern (6-2, 2-2 Big Ten).
Many wondered if Iowa (4-3, 2-1) might go in another direction after Vandenberg and the Hawkeyes were dismantled by Penn State 38-14. But Ferentz was adamant that Vandenberg will be his quarterback until his eligibility is up. Ferentz says everyone in the program believes in Vandenberg.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Kyle Lohse got to bed at 5:30 a.m. after the St. Louis Cardinals’ flight from a most unpleasant end to the NL championship series against the San Francisco Giants. Fatigue only added to the aftershock of a spectacular nosedive as players cleaned out their lockers Tuesday. It might be the final time for Lohse, who confessed to being a bit “delirious” from lack of sleep while discussing his future.
Coming off his best season, the 16-game winner heads into free agency for the second time. There have been no contract conversations with the Cardinals, who might not be able to fit him into the budget. Nearly everyone else will return next year for another try. They will need a while to purge the awful taste of blowing a 3-1 series lead to the Giants and missing a chance to defend their World Series title.
AMES, Iowa (AP) — Nearly every team in the country knows what it has and what it doesn’t by now. Iowa State has become the team without a quarterback. Issues at the game’s most important position are threatening to derail Iowa State’s once-promising season. The Cyclones (4-3, 1-3 Big 12) have dropped three of their last four games largely because of the league’s worst passing attack.
It’s gotten so bad that coach Paul Rhoads has made the starting job for Saturday’s home game against Baylor a three-man race. Steele Jantz, Jared Barnett and untested freshman Sam Richardson will all compete this week for the right to start against the Bears (3-3, 0-3).
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa has lost starting offensive linemen Brandon Scherff and Andrew Donnal to season-ending injuries. Hawkeyes coach Kirk Ferentz says Scherff, a sophomore left tackle, broke a bone in his leg during Saturday night’s 38-14 loss to Penn State. Donnal, a sophomore right guard, hurt his right knee in the first half against the Nittany Lions. Junior Nolan MacMillan will move into Scherff’s starting spot at tackle for this weekend’s game between the Hawkeyes (4-3, 2-1 Big Ten) and Northwestern (6-2, 2-2). Redshirt freshman Austin Blythe will likely replace Donnal at guard. The loss of Scherff and Donnal is a blow to an offense that has scored just 26 points in the past two weeks.
CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) – A University of Northern Iowa football player has been arrested after a fistfight near the campus in Cedar Falls. Terrell Sinkfield Jr., a starting wide receiver, was arrested early Sunday morning. Police say several people were involved in the fight at an apartment parking lot around 2 a.m.
Police say the 21-year-old Sinkfield faces charges of disorderly conduct and interfering with police officers. UNI head football coach Mark Farley says he and his staff are looking into the situation.
