Iowa State is into the AP Poll at number 21 after a furious rally in a 20-19 win at Iowa. The Cyclones trailed 13-0 at halftime and 19-7 in the third quarter before rallying for their second straight victory in Kinnick Stadium. Freshman Kyle Konrardy hit a 54 yard field goal with six seconds remaining to win it.

That’s ISU coach Matt Campbell who was proud of the mental toughness his team showed in rallying for the win.

Iowa State’s defense turned the game around in the opening half by forcing the Hawkeyes to settle for field goals twice inside the five yard line.

Konrardy missed a 41-yard field goal at the end of the opening half before connecting twice in the fourth quarter.

The Cyclones are idle this week and host Arkansas State on the 21st. Iowa dropped out of the AP Poll after a second half collapse that dropped their record to 1-1.

That’s Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz. The offense got smothered with the game on the line and quarterback Cade McNamara was just three of 10 for 19 yards and two interceptions in the second half.

Ferentz said after the game there is no thought of making a change at quarterback.

The Hawkeyes host Troy this week. The Trojans are 0-2 after losses to Nevada and Memphis.

The Atlantic Trojans had a thrilling 35-34 victory in overtime against Glenwood on Friday. The game got off to an exciting start quickly with the opening kickoff returned 95-yards for a touchdown by sophomore Ethan McNeal to put the Trojans up 7-0. Glenwood decided to commit to their pass game on the following drive which resulted in a field goal midway through the quarter, making it 7-3. After a turnover on downs, Glenwood drove the ball down inside Atlantic territory that created a 7-yard touchdown scramble by senior quarterback Cole Staudt to give the Rams their first lead of the game at 9-7 with a mixed extra point.

Atlantic had a scoring response of their own moving the ball downfield that ended with a 3-yard touchdown plunge by Gavin McLaren making it a 14-9 lead at the end of the first quarter. The drama subsided for the majority of the second quarter until the last minute. While the Trojans were marching towards the red zone senior Tristan Hayes fumbled the ball and it was recovered by Glenwood. Then with less than 10 seconds to go Joaquin Wailes had an interception returned to the goal line as time expired.

In the third quarter Glenwood focused on their pass game and it saw a quick touchdown with a score in under 90 seconds to put the Rams back up at 15-14. The game stayed at a deadlock until a mistimed snap on a botched punt gave Glenwood phenomenal field position at the Trojans 3-yard line. It was there that Tristan Ludwig took the handoff and sprinted his way in for a score for a 21-14 lead. Atlantic continued to trust their run game in the 4th quarter and it payed as the Trojans used a 1-yard pitch on the goal line to Tyson O’Brien to score and tie it up at 21 a piece.

When the Rams received the ball back they quickly wasted no time driving the ball down the field that concluded an impressive interception by Jarrett Hansen at the Atlantic 15-yard line. With that turnover Atlantic started their most strategic drive of the night chewing up over six minutes of clock and scoring on a 4-yard O’Brien run, putting the Trojans up 28-21. Glenwood then received the ball on their own 9-yard line and managed to tie the game up with 18 seconds left with an 18-yard Stoudt to Jack Johnson touchdown throw making it 28-28.

It was then time for overtime and Atlantic chose to be on defense first. On second and goal Stoudt kept the ball on a designed quarterback run and pushed his way into the end zone for an 8-yard touchdown. The Rams would miss a crucial extra point to only have a six point lead at 34-28. When it was Atlantic’s turn on offense the Trojans saw their first two rushing plays result in a loss of one yard. On third and goal Hayes took the snap and started to scramble, he ended up connecting with Hansen in the left side of the end zone for the tying score. Hadin Thompson then lined up for the game winning extra point and knocked it through giving Atlantic the 35-34 win.

Atlantic head coach Joe Brummer was impressed by the hustle of the Trojans in overtime.

The win for Atlantic on Friday was one they can use for positive momentum.

Coach Bummer does not want his team to use this win as a defining moment, but to carry on and continue to improve each week.

The Trojans improve to 3-0 as they head home to Atlantic to face Greene County next week and the Rams drop to 0-2 and stay at home taking on Harlan on the 13th.

(Radio Iowa) – A man who gained online fame for his support of the Kansas City Chiefs has been sentenced to 17 years in prison for a string of robberies and attempted robberies — including three in central Iowa. Teresa Moore, the U-S Attorney for the western district of Missouri, issued a video statement after today’s (Friday) sentencing.

Xaviar Babudar stole 70-thousand from a bank in Clive in 2022. Investigators were able to recover his D-N-A from a black glove he left behind. Babudar admits he later stole another 25-thousand dollars from the same location, although the bank’s name had changed. Court records also show he stole over 300-thousand dollars from a West Des Moines credit union.

Babudar, who is 30 years old, went to Chiefs games dressed as a wolf — mimicking the Chief’s mascot. Prosecutors say he laundered the money stole by making large deposits in his bank accounts and buying casino chips from casinos in Missouri, Kansas and Illinois.

Iowa and Iowa State collide in the 71st meeting of the Cy-Hawk Series in Kinnick Stadium. The Hawkeyes have won seven of the last eight and in the last six meetings the average margin of victory is less than six points. Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz says Iowa State has become an outstanding program.

Ferentz says Iowa State’s defense has made them a contender in the Big 12.

Ferentz says the experience of Cyclone quarterback Rocco Becht will make the Cyclone offense a challenge to stop.

Iowa State coach Matt Campbell calls this a big test for his team.

The Cyclones made explosive plays in a win over North Dakota but the trick against the Hawkeye defense is to make plays without making mistakes.

Playing this early in the season makes the rivalry unique.

After opening with a win over Valparaiso the Northern Iowa Panthers face their first road test at St. Thomas of Minnesota. UNI coach Mark Farley says under coach coach Glenn Caruso the Tommies have been a consistent winner at different levels.

In his first start quarterback Aidan Dunne completed 12 of 16 passes for 116 yards and three touchdowns in a 35-7 win over Valparaiso.

Farley says going on the road is a new challenge.
