KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas left after the first series of Denver’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday with a shoulder injury. His return was questionable. The Broncos were already missing several starters due to injuries.
Defensive tackle Kevin Vickerson went on injured reserve this week after dislocating his right hip, defensive end Derek Wolfe was left behind in Denver after he was hospitalized Friday with some seizure-like symptoms, cornerback Antonio Rodgers-Cromartie was out with a shoulder injury and tight end Julius Thomas was inactive with a lingering knee injury.
Demaryius Thomas came into the game needing 45 yards receiving for back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons. He had one catch for 14 yards on the Broncos’ first possession.
AMES, Iowa (AP) – Iowa won seven of 10 matches and beat host Iowa State 23-9 Sunday in their annual wrestling dual meet. The fourth-ranked Hawkeyes (4-0) beat the rival Cyclones for the 10th straight time and claimed the Dan Gable Traveling Trophy for the fourth time in as many tries.
Top-ranked Derek St. John beat Iowa State’s John Nicholson 5-1 to clinch the meet for Iowa, which scored a pair of major decisions. Kyven Gadson, Quean Smith and Luke Goettl posted wins for the Cyclones (5-1).
AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State has fired offensive coordinator Courtney Messingham and running backs coach Kenith Pope. Coach Paul Rhoads announced Sunday that Messingham and Pope were “relieved” of their duties less than 24 hours after Iowa State closed out a 3-9 season with a 52-44 triple-overtime win at West Virginia.
Messingham had been with Rhoads for five seasons, the last two as offensive coordinator. But the Cyclones averaged just 24.8 points a game this season and rank 89th nationally with 143.8 yards rushing per game.
The Cyclones say that Rhoads won’t have additional comment on the moves for at least two weeks.
FRESNO, Calif. (AP) — Richard Carter scored 18 points and Drake beat Cal State Bakersfield 65-57 in the final round of the Fresno State Classic on Sunday. Drake (6-1) led at the half 30-22 with the Bulldogs controlling the boards and outscoring CSUB at the free throw line
Drake increased its second half lead to 11 on a Karl Madison 3-pointer with five minutes remaining, but the Roadrunners (5-3) erased that deficit to only 3 points (58-55) over the next two minutes. Carter took over for Drake in the final minutes scoring a clutch layup and sinking three foul shots to spread the gap to eight at the buzzer. Drake shot 14 of 17 from the foul line and CSUB was only 6 for 9 accounting for the difference in the game.
Issiah Grayson led Roadrunner scorers with 11 points with Corey Hall and Zach Lamb netting 10 apiece.
FRESNO, Calif. (AP) — Chris Caird scored 16 points and Richard Carter added 12 with seven assists and four steals as Drake defeated Northern Arizona 76-56 in a Fresno State Classic matchup Saturday night. The Bulldogs (5-1) shot 52.6 percent from the field and jumped out to an early 14-2 lead as Caird, Gary Ricks and Aaron Hawley each sank 3-pointers.
Northern Arizona (2-5) cut the lead to seven on a Max Jacobsen layup, but a 17-9 surge sparked by two more 3-pointers from Caird gave Drake a 15-point lead at halftime. The Lumberjacks could only pull within 12 in the second half as Drake continued the onslaught with Carter hitting a trey to grab a 62-39 lead.
Four Bulldogs finished in double figures and combined to hit 10 3-pointers with Hawley scoring 13 points and Gary Ricks Jr. adding 10. Quinton Upshur paced Northern Arizona with 20 points and Kris Yanku had 12.

Kris Jenkins scored five of his 10 points in overtime for Villanova, which was down by 15 in the first half, then held Iowa (7-1) to one field goal for nearly a 10-minute stretch of the second half.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Redshirt freshman Grant Rohach threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Justin Coleman in the third overtime and Iowa State came from 24 points down to beat West Virginia 52-44 on Saturday night. Rohach finished with four TD passes and ran for a fifth score as the Cyclones (3-9, 2-7 Big 12) finished a disappointing season with two straight wins.
The Mountaineers (4-8, 2-7) led 31-7 early in the second quarter but ended the year with six losses in their final seven games. Iowa State forced overtime on Rohach’s 19-yard TD toss to Coleman with a minute left. The teams traded field goals in the first two overtimes. After Rohach’s TD to Coleman in the third overtime, Rohach threw a two-point conversion pass to E.J. Bibbs.
West Virginia advanced to the 4 on its possession but couldn’t score. Clint Trickett’s fourth-down pass was caught short of the goal line.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs put defensive back Sanders Commings on injured reserve Saturday with a shoulder injury and promoted linebacker Josh Martin from the practice squad. The Chiefs (9-2) play the Denver Broncos (9-2) on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium.
Commings was the Chiefs’ fifth-round draft pick out of Georgia. He broke his collarbone early in training camp and spent the first part of the season on short-term IR. Commings only played in two games and made one tackle before sustaining what coach Andy Reid called a shoulder injury.
Martin joined the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent in May. He was inactive for the first three games before spending time on the practice squad.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – Mike Rostampour was perfect from the floor while scoring a game-high 13 points to lead Nebraska-Omaha over Iowa Wesleyan 86-36 Saturday.

John Karhoff added 11 points, and now ranks 29th in school history with 1,019 career points.

Iowa Wesleyan (1-3) was led by Michael Neff, who scored eight points. Chris Martin added six points. Both Neff and Martin made a game-high two 3-pointers. The Tigers are led by first-year head coach Todd Lorensen, who previously served as an assistant coach at UNO from 2008 to 2011.
