Iowa State – Iowa Capsule

Sports

September 12th, 2014 by Jim Field

Iowa State (0-2) at Iowa (2-0)

Line: Iowa by 10 ½

Series Record: Iowa leads 40-21

Radio:  Listen for the pre-game show at 12:30 pm Saturday with kick-off at 2:35 on KJAN AM 1220/FM 101.1

WHAT’S AT STAKE

Iowa has looked shaky in winning its first two games and needs a strong showing with a trip to Pittsburgh up next. Iowa State made big strides in a loss to Kansas State last week and could use a confidence booster heading into a bye and Big 12 play.

KEY MATCHUP

Iowa State’s offensive line vs. Iowa’s defensive line. The Hawkeyes front four has been arguably their best unit so far, while the Cyclones have improved up front. Iowa State will need to give quarterback Sam Richardson time to throw the ball, because rushing yards could be hard to come by.

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Iowa State: WR Jarvis West: He scored three touchdowns in three different ways last week. Can West be the difference for an offense that’s last in the Big 12 in points per game?

Iowa: RB Mark Weisman: Iowa’s desire to keep Weisman healthy by limiting his early touches might be a big reason why the Hawkeyes are struggling to run the ball to their standards. Weisman could have his breakout game against a defense that’s had issues stopping the run.

FACTS & FIGURES

Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz is just 7-8 against Iowa State. Iowa State’s Paul Rhoads is 2-3…Cedar Falls redshirt freshman Ike Boettger will likely start at left tackle for the Hawkeyes as Brandon Scherff recovers from a knee injury…The Cyclones sold out their first two home games — and their trip to Iowa City will help the Hawkeyes notch their first sellout of the year.

Riverton Marsh reopens after floodwater quickly recedes

News, Sports

September 12th, 2014 by Ric Hanson

Floodwaters at the Riverton Wildlife Management Area in Fremont County have receded enough for the boat ramp and access road at both ends of the area to reopen. The Iowa DNR says water is still higher in the main marsh than normal so hunters need to plan accordingly.

Floodwaters had caused a dike on the south side of the main tract to blow out, rapidly raising the water level in the marsh.

The Riverton Wildlife Management Area is a 4,000-acre public hunting and wildlife refuge area popular with waterfowl hunters. Iowa’s special September teal season is open through Sept. 21. The duck hunting season in the south zone is Oct. 4-8 and Oct. 18 to Dec. 11.

The Atlantic Student Council has reduced the entry fee for the Oct. 11th “Color the Town 5k Run/walk,” otherwise known as the “Color Run.”  Due to confusion having to deal with the registration website (the issues of which have since been resolved), the Council thought it would be fair to reduce the entry fee from 30-to $25.

Iowa’s deer population levels off, number of hunting licenses to be cut

News, Sports

September 12th, 2014 by Ric Hanson

State wildlife officials say hunters in Iowa have sufficiently thinned down the deer herds, so the number of hunting licenses that will be issued is being scaled back to stabilize the population. Iowa Department of Natural Resources director Chuck Gipp says all signs indicate the statewide deer population declined between 2006 and 2013. “Reported harvest is down by 33%. Number of road kills of deer hit by vehicles is down by 39%,” Gipp says. “The number of deer that are observed by bow hunters, which is a good way because they’re up in the tree individually, is down by 22%.”

Some parts of Iowa are still overrun by deer, what are considered “hot spots,” while the animals are very scarce in other areas. Gipp says striking a balance with hunters isn’t easy. “We’re getting shot at from both sides, some people are saying there’s not enough deer and others say there’s too many depending on where you sit on this issue,” Gipp says, “We feel very comfortable where the deer herd is and we still have to work on those hot spots.” He says the D-N-R may expand the number of so-called depredation licenses issued which allow landowners to kill animals that cause property damage.

The D-N-R plans to scale back the number of so-called “antlerless” deer licenses, which were designed to thin herds by targeting female deer.
