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

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Joseph Yesufu had 16 points off the bench to carry Drake to a 98-53 win over Division III opponent Simpson (Iowa). Jonah Jackson had 14 points for Drake (3-1).

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa — The University of Iowa women’s basketball team’s first road contest of the season didn’t go as planned. Northern Iowa improved to 4-0 and handed the Hawkeyes their first loss of the season with an 88-66 victory Sunday afternoon at the McLeod Center.  The Panthers never trailed. UNI shot better than 50 percent from the field — 52.5 percent for the game — made 10 3-pointers and got 52 points of production from its bench.  Iowa shot 35.4 percent and went just 5-of-16 from 3-point range.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico City’s Azteca Stadium is looking to put its best face forward when it hosts a regular-season NFL matchup tonight (Monday night) between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Los Angeles Chargers. Officials are hoping for redemption after last season’s game had to be moved to the L.A. Coliseum, a black eye for the arena and the league. Poor field conditions forced the last-minute change. The hybrid turf has since been swapped out for natural grass, and fewer events have been scheduled for the stadium.

CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) — Destiny Slocum ignited a third quarter run and scored all 17 of her points in the second half, leading No. 7 Oregon State to an 80-69 victory over Missouri State in the championship game of the Preseason WNIT. Slocum’s 3-pointer at third-quarter buzzer capped a 13-0 run for a 55-49 lead and Oregon State went on to end the nation’s longest road winning streak at 13 games.

UNDATED (AP) — Georgia edged past Alabama to No. 4 in The Associated Press college football poll after the Bulldogs had a quality road victory and the Crimson Tide lost star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa for the season. LSU remained No. 1, receiving 54 first-places votes. No. 2 Ohio State and No. 3 Clemson also maintained their spots, while Georgia moved up one place after winning 21-14 at Auburn.

Alabama fell a spot to fifth. The Crimson Tide beat Mississippi State 38-7 on Saturday, but Tagovailoa dislocated his right hip while being tackled late in the second quarter and is done for the year.

Minnesota and Baylor both lost for the first time and dropped in the rankings. The 11th-ranked Gophers slipped four spots after losing at Iowa. No. 13 Baylor dropped one after blowing a 28-3 lead at home to Oklahoma. Iowa jumped four to No. 19 and Oklahoma moved up two spots to No. 8.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Nate Stanley threw for two touchdown passes and Tyler Goodson ran for a score to help No. 23 Iowa beat No. 7 Minnesota 23-19, handing the Gophers their first loss while hurting their playoff prospects. The Hawkeyes struck quickly, scoring touchdowns on their first three possessions, then held off Minnesota’s charge in the second half for their first victory over a ranked opponent this season.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Connor Assalley kicked a 36-yard field goal as time expired and Iowa State knocked off 22nd-ranked Texas 23-21 to snap a two-game losing streak. Brock Purdy had 354 yards passing for the Cyclones, who beat the Longhorns for just the third time in 17 tries.

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Kyle Trask threw two touchdown passes after a sluggish first half by No. 11 Florida and the Gators beat Missouri 23-6. Trask completed 23 of 35 passes for 282 yards. That was plenty of offense for Florida, which held Missouri to 204 total yards. Linebacker Jon Greenard spent most of the day in the Tigers’ backfield, finishing with two sacks and five tackles for loss.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Jonathan Taylor ran for 204 yards and two touchdowns, Aaron Cruickshank ran back a kickoff 89 yards for a score, and No. 15 Wisconsin beat Nebraska 37-21. Taylor became the first Football Bowl Subdivision player since at least 2000 to run for 200 yards three times against the same team. The junior recorded his 11th 200-yard game. That moved him into a four-way tie for most in a career by an FBS player.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Isaiah Moss poured in 21 points to lead six Jayhawks in double-figure scoring, and No. 5 Kansas romped to a 112-57 victory over undersized and outclassed Monmouth. The Jayhawks ran their home winning streak to 23 straight games, third-longest in the nation behind only Tennessee and Gonzaga. Deion Hammond had 17 for the Hawks.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Minnesota’s undefeated season came to an end in a place where the Gophers have struggled for a while. Nate Stanley threw for two touchdown passes and Tyler Goodson ran for a score to help No. 23 Iowa beat No. 7 Minnesota 23-19 on Saturday, handing the Gophers their first loss while hurting their playoff prospects.

The Hawkeyes (7-3, 4-3 Big Ten) struck quickly, scoring touchdowns on their first three possessions, then held off Minnesota’s charge in the second half for their first victory over a ranked opponent this season. The Gophers (9-1, 6-1, No. 8 CFP) haven’t won at Kinnick Stadium since 1999, losing nine straight on the road in the series.

Minnesota got to 23-19 with 3:27 to play when Rodney Smith scored on a 1-yard dive. But Brock Walker’s extra-point attempt missed. Iowa’s Nate Wieting then recovered the onside kick. The Gophers had a final chance. But quarterback Tanner Morgan was sacked by Joe Evans and A.J. Epenesa on back-to-back plays, then backup Cole Kramer’s pass was intercepted by Riley Moss on fourth down.

Stanley threw for 173 yards. Goodson rushed for 94 yards. Morgan threw for 368 yards. Tyler Johnson had nine catches for 170 yards. The Gophers had 431 yards of offense. This was the Hawkeyes’ fifth home win on Oct. 30 or late over a team with serious national title aspirations since 2008. The Hawkeyes talked all week about not having any pressure with their division hopes.
POLL IMPLICATIONS
Minnesota rose 12 spots after beating Penn State a week ago. The Gophers will tumble, but it likely won’t be as dramatic as last week’s surge. As for Iowa, it should expect to move up at least three or four spots.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Connor Assalley kicke a 36-yard field goal as time expired and Iowa State knocked off 22nd-ranked Texas 23-21 on Saturday to snap a two-game losing streak. Brock Purdy had 354 yards passing and two TDs for the Cyclones (6-4, 4-3 Big 12). They beat the Longhorns (6-4, 4-3) for just the third time in 17 tries despite blowing a 13-point lead.

Brayden Narveson missed an apparent 42-yard field goal with 2:12 to go, but Texas was called for being offside and Iowa State was awarded a first down by inches. The Cyclones — who have lost twice by a point in 2019 — elected to play for the field goal. Assalley rewarded coach Matt Campbell’s faith in him by knocking the winner down the middle.

Sam Ehlinger gave Texas a 21-20 lead with a brilliant 7-yard TD pass to Malcom Epps on fourth down with 5:37 to go. But the Cyclones stuffed the Longhorns on their next possession, and Purdy took Iowa State 63 yards in three minutes to set up Assalley’s kick. Ehlinger had 273 yards and three TDs for Texas, losers of three of its last five.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Jake Chisholm ran for three touchdowns, Jack Cook ran for a pair of touchdowns and Dayton beat Drake 46-29 on Saturday. The Flyers boosted their record to 7-3, 5-2 in the Pioneer Football League and forced a three-way tie for second with the Bulldogs (5-5, 5-2) and Davidson (8-3, 5-2).

Drake took an early two-score lead when Ian Corwin threw an 8-yard touchdown pass to Devin Cates and Drew Lauer ran it in from 13 yards. Chisholm’s 9-yard run before the first quarter ended made it 14-7. Lauer added a 9-yard run, and the 2-point conversion made it 22-7.

Dayton responded when Cook ran it in from 4-yards out, and Sam Webster kicked a 23-yard field goal to reduce the margin to 22-17 with 31 seconds before halftime. The turning point came on the ensuing drive when the Bulldogs took a short kickoff and quickly moved into scoring position. Brandon Easterling picked off Corwin at the goal line and returned it the distance to end the half. The 2-point conversion made it 25-22 and the Flyers led the rest of the way.

Easterling became the 11th Dayton player to intercept three passes in a game. Corwin threw for 306 yards, two scores and four interceptions.
