Touching photo shows TCU quarterback, with Iowa State fan, 7

Sports

October 20th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — A touching photo of TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin greeting a 7-year-old Iowa State fan who uses a wheelchair has drawn praise for the player. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram photo was snapped Saturday before No. 3 TCU beat Iowa State 45-21 in Ames. Boykin took a moment, before the pregame coin toss, to speak to Abby Faber. She wore an Iowa State jersey as Boykin leaned down and asked, “What’s your name?”

Jenny Faber said Tuesday, in a phone interview from Ankeny, Iowa, that she was unfamiliar with Boykin but now her family will “be following him the rest of the season.” Faber says her daughter was so excited to get to shake a player’s hand.

The girl has a form of cerebral palsy.

Familiar faces ready to star (again) in Big 12 this season

October 20th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Kansas is the preseason pick to win its 12th consecutive Big 12 title. All-American forward Perry Ellis opted to return for his senior season, and he’ll be joined by talented guards Wayne Selden, Frank Mason and Devonte Graham, all players who logged crucial minutes as the Jayhawks rolled to another conference championship last season.

But there is plenty of talent around the league. Oklahoma returns All-American guard Buddy Hield, who may have been a first-round pick had he declared for the draft after last season. He’ll be joined by fellow seniors Isaiah Cousins and Ryan Spangler, who also started all 35 games for Oklahoma a year ago.

Iowa State may have a new coach in Steve Prohm, but Georges Niang, Jameel McKay and Naz Long are seniors with high expectations.

Lanning expected to get more snaps, Richardson still starter at QB for Iowa State

Sports

October 19th, 2015 by admin

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads says the Cyclones intend to give backup quarterback Joel Lanning more playing time. Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads said Monday that Lanning, a redshirt sophomore, will play a bigger role starting with Saturday’s game at No. 2 Baylor.

Lanning threw just one pass in last week’s loss against No. 4 TCU — and it went for a 74-yard touchdown. But starter Sam Richardson’s experience is a big reason why Rhoads and offensive coordinator Mark Mangino are sticking with the senior.

Richardson has thrown just one touchdown pass over the past two games, which Iowa State lost by an average of nearly 30 points.
