AMES, Iowa (AP) — Texas Tech’s visit to Iowa State on Saturday will be its furthest trip north in November in 52 years.

It’ll be an especially chilly afternoon for the Red Raiders if they can’t get rolling against the Cyclones.

Texas Tech (3-7, 1-6 Big 12) has lost three straight, and its only league win came against Kansas.

The Cyclones (2-7, 0-6) has also dropped its last three. But their most recent loss, a 34-14 whipping at the hands of the Jayhawks, might have been the worst in six seasons under Paul Rhoads.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) – Derek Carr threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to James Jones with 1:42 remaining and the Oakland Raiders snapped a 16-game losing streak with a 24-20 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday night. Oakland’s Latavius Murray ran for two touchdowns on four carries before leaving the game with a concussion.

The Raiders (1-10) built a 14-point lead, but needed a 17-play, 80-yard drive led by Carr to secure its first win since beating Houston on Nov. 17, 2013. Alex Smith threw two TD passes for the Chiefs (7-4), who had won five in a row. They fell a half-game behind Denver in the AFC West.

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) — Pella quarterback Noah Clayberg ran for three touchdowns, its defense stiffened in the second half and the Dutch rolled past Sioux City Bishop Heelan 38-17 Thursday night to win the Class 3A state championship. Clayberg led a potent running game with 156 yards in 30 carries as the Dutch (14-0) claimed their first football title and prevented Heelan (12-2) from winning back-to-back championships.

Heelan capitalized on three Pella turnovers — all by Clayberg — to open a 17-7 lead late in the first half. But Clayberg directed a 77-yard touchdown drive that he finished with a 4-yard run around right end just before halftime.

Pella dominated the second half, finishing with 340 yards rushing while holding Heelan to 40 on the ground

NEW YORK (AP) — Jonathan Holmes scored 17 of his 19 points in the second half, Isaiah Taylor added 15 and No. 10 Texas beat Iowa 71-57 on Thursday night in the 2K Classic. The Longhorns trailed by 12 points in the first half but outscored Iowa 47-27 in the final 20 minutes to advance to the championship game Friday at Madison Square Garden against California, who beat #23 Syracuse 73-59.

Texas (3-0) didn’t take its first lead until early in the second half following Holmes’ blistering start out of intermission. Holmes and Taylor helped the Longhorns keep the tempo up and put it away a little over midway through the half.

Aaron White scored 23 for Iowa (2-1), which shot just 29.6 percent.  The Hawkeyes will face Syracuse in the consolation game Friday afternoon, which will air on KJAN beginning with the pre-game at 3:00 pm.

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) — Deon Mitchell and Paul Jesperson each scored 13 points and Northern Iowa pulled away in the second half to beat Morgan State 73-53 on Thursday night. Seth Tuttle and Wes Washpun added 12 points apiece and Jeremy Morgan 11 in the game that was part of the Cancun Challenge.

Blake Bozeman was the only Morgan State player in double figures with 19 points. The Bears (0-3) shot just 33.9 percent while Northern Iowa was at 55.3 percent. The Panthers (3-0) made 24 of 34 free throws.

The Bears closed the first half with a 7-2 run to lead 30-29. Northern Iowa scored the first six points of the second half to go up 35-30. The Bears got within three before the Panthers continued to extend their lead. An 8-0 run by Northern Iowa left the Panthers leading 58-45 with 7:06 left. The lead would reach as many 22 points.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Melvin Gordon’s record-setting effort against Nebraska pushed Wisconsin one step closer to another Big Ten title. A repeat performance could send the 14th-ranked Badgers back to Indianapolis for the championship game— and Gordon to New York for the Heisman Trophy ceremony.

Wisconsin (8-2, 5-1 Big Ten, No. 16 CFP) still has a lot to play for on Saturday when it faces Iowa (7-3, 4-2) in its road finale, even if a spot in the playoffs is likely out of reach. A Badgers win, coupled with a Nebraska win over Minnesota, will put them in the league title game for the third time in four years.

Logan-Magnolia captured their second state football championship today with a late 28-24 victory over Gladbrook-Reinbeck at the UNI-Dome in Cedar Falls.

Logan-Magnolia running back Brady Charbonneau was huge carrying 18 times for 234 yards and two touchdowns, including an 83 yard TD run in the third quarter.  Charbonneau scored the winning touchdown on a fourth-and-one from the Rebels eight yard line with just :59 left.  The Panthers out rushed the Rebels 304-178.

Eric Stoakes led Gladbrook-Reinbeck rushing 24 times for 185 yards and two TD’s.

Logan-Magnolia ends the year 14-0, while the Rebels finish 12-2.

Newell-Fonda captured the school’s first-ever state football title with a come-from-behind 39-35 win over Fremont-Mills in the 8-Man final at the UNI-Dome in Cedar Falls today.  The Mustangs ran off 11 straight wins after an 0-3 start to the season.

Newell-Fonda outgained the Knights 387-255 total yards.  After quarterback Brady Dicks was injured in the first half, running back Cole Wise picked up the offensive slack carrying 29 times for 127 yards and a touchdown.  Wise also caught three passes for 58 yards and a touchdown.  Dicks and his replacement Jason Hess combined to complete 10 of 17 passes for 172 yards and three TD’s.  Hess scored the winning touchdown on an eight yard run with just :17 left.

Fremont-Mills got the ball back at midfield after kick-off and after completing a couple of hook-and-lateral passes along the sideline to get inside the ten yard line with :04 left, a fumble recovered by Newell-Fonda ended the game.

Fremont-Mills ends the season with a mark of 13-1.

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) — Backup quarterback Jason Hess scored on an 8-yard run with 17 seconds left Thursday to lift Newell-Fonda to a 39-35 victory over Fremont-Mills and the eight-player state championship. Hess filled in for injured starter Brady Dicks and made several big plays, including a 16-yard touchdown pass to Cole Wise and a 33-yard heave to Wise to set up his winning touchdown.

Fremont-Mills used two hook-and-laterals to drive to the Newell-Fonda 9-yard line with 4 seconds remaining. But the Mustangs stripped the ball from quarterback Jason Rusten on the final play and Dustin Johnson recovered to end it.

Newell-Fonda ran off 11 straight victories after starting 0-3 to win its first state championship and deny Fremont-Mills (13-1) a second title in four years.
