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

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs are headed to Oakland after releasing star running back Kareem Hunt. He was seen in a video shoving and kicking a woman in a Cleveland hotel in February. The Chiefs have capable backups ready to take over. The future for Hunt is much more unclear. The 23-year-old player is on the NFL’s exempt list while the league investigates.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — David Montgomery ran for 145 yards and two touchdowns and No. 24 Iowa State survived a near-upset by non-scholarship FCS school Drake, winning 27-24. Brock Purdy had 53 yards passing and a TD for the Cyclones. They fought through persistent rain and a sloppy field to win their sixth straight home game to tie a school record.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Zach Norvell Jr. scored 23 of his career-high 28 points in the second half, and top-ranked Gonzaga wiped out an early double-digit deficit and beat Creighton 103-92. The Bulldogs took over the No. 1 ranking this week after beating Duke in the Maui Invitational. They overcame a boisterous crowd of more than 18,000 to win in their first true road game.

DAVIS, Calif. (AP) — Jake Maier threw for 310 yards and a touchdown and UC Davis beat Northern Iowa 23-16 in the second round of the FCS playoffs. It was the first FCS playoff appearance for No. 6 seed UC Davis (10-2), which will play at third-seeded Eastern Washington (10-2) in a quarterfinal.

No. 24 Iowa State barely survives, beats FCS Drake 27-24

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State insisted on playing 12 games, cycling through a pair of FCS opponents before settling on tiny Drake. That decision nearly resulted in the most embarrassing loss in school history. David Montgomery ran for 145 yards and two touchdowns and No. 24 Iowa State survived a near-upset by the non-scholarship Bulldogs on Saturday, winning 27-24.

Brock Purdy had 153 yards passing and a TD and ran for another score for the Cyclones (8-4), who fought through persistent rain and a muddy, torn-up field for their seventh win in eight games.
It hardly felt like a victory, though, against a team that agreed to play this makeup game only two weeks ago, and Iowa State coach Matt Campbell blamed the close call on execution instead of effort.
“I don’t know that we played with great detail on a surface like that, where every inch matters,” Campbell said.

It was so muddy that Iowa State’s band wasn’t allowed to perform at halftime. Still, the Cyclones looked uninspired at best — and it might have made them less desirable when bowls make their picks on Sunday. “If it does, so be it. All we can be is us,” Campbell said.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — D’Mitrik Trice scored 20 points, including a crucial 3 with 20 seconds left, and 22nd-ranked Wisconsin held off No. 14 Iowa 72-66 in the Big Ten opener for both teams. Ethan Happ had 13 points and seven boards for the Badgers, who handed the resurgent Hawkeyes their first loss of the season.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa junior tight end Noah Fant says he is leaving school early to enter the NFL draft. Fant announced on his Instagram page that he intends to skip his final season of eligibility to turn pro. Fant, a native of Omaha, Nebraska, also told the Omaha World-Herald that he plans to skip Iowa’s upcoming bowl game.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs released running back Kareem Hunt after video surfaced that showed the NFL’s reigning rushing champion knocking over and kicking a woman in a Cleveland hotel hallway in February. The team issued a statement shortly after the NFL had placed Hunt on its Commissioner Exemption List that said the running back had lied when asked about the incident by team officials.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Left-hander Chasen Shreve and the St. Louis Cardinals agreed to a $900,000, one-year contract. The 28-year-old was 3-4 with a 3.93 ERA and one save in a career-high 60 appearances this year for the New York Yankees and the Cardinals, who acquired him on July 28.
