Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press
UNDATED (AP) — No. 17 Penn State will have a say in who plays for the Big Ten championship even if it is unlikely to be the Nittany Lions. No. 18 Iowa comes to State College, Pennsylvania, on Saturday in the first of three straight games for Penn State against division contenders. The Hawkeyes are part of a logjam near the top of the Big Ten West standings, with four teams having one loss halfway through the season. Penn State gets Iowa then No. 6 Michigan and No. 20 Wisconsin over the next three weeks.
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska will play a Bethune-Cookman team that has lost its last five games against Football Bowl Subdivision opponents by an average of 32 points and has come no closer than three touchdowns in any of them. The game was scheduled on short notice as a replacement for the canceled opener against Akron. The party line in Lincoln this week is that the Cornhuskers aren’t good enough to go through the motions against any opponent.
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Kansas coach Bill Self faces a potentially bumpy few months as the FBI’s investigation of corruption in college basketball continues to unwind. Self and the school have not been accused of any wrongdoing, though their names have surfaced in testimony, and that alone could be enough to hurt them on the recruiting trail and in the court of public perception.
NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Oklahoma bounced back from its loss to Texas with a rousing 52-27 win over TCU last week. The Sooners face Kansas State on Saturday and they can’t afford to slip if they want to reach the College Football Playoff again. Kansas State is building momentum, too. The Wildcats rolled past Oklahoma State 31-12 in their last game, and then had an off week to prepare for the Sooners.
COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — No. 12 Kentucky has star running back Benny Snell Jr. and a stellar defense to thank for its success this season. The Wildcats take their ground-and-pound attack on the road to face an explosive Missouri team.

FORT DODGE, Iowa (AP) — A 28-year-old man has been accused of killing two brothers in Fort Dodge. Police say Tanner King, of Fort Dodge, was arrested Thursday night. Court records say he’s charged with two counts of first-degree murder and one of attempted murder. The records don’t list the name of an attorney who could comment for him. He’s accused of Monday’s fatal shooting of 37-year-old Marion and 34-year-old Eldominic Rhodes.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — New rules about sexual harassment of Iowa state government workers could make it tougher for taxpayers to learn about the cases and what the state is doing about the allegations. Ten Iowa lawmakers voted unanimously to approve the rules Thursday. The Des Moines Register reports the new rules say sex harassment complaint records can’t be released unless a court orders such. The old rules allowed state officials some discretion on any releases.
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — A Sioux City man accused of ramming police cars on a chase that began in Nebraska has been sentenced to five more years in an Iowa prison. Woodbury County court records say 43-year-old Larry Johnson II pleaded guilty to felony eluding after prosecutors dropped an assault charge.
MASON CITY, Iowa (AP) — A trial has been scheduled in January 2020 in a gender discrimination lawsuit filed by a former school district official in northern Iowa. Mason City Schools’ former human resources director Jodie Anderson filed the lawsuit in July, alleging that men employed by the district were being paid more than women for the same categories of work when she examined salary structures in 2015.
AHSTW struggled early but won a thriller 30-28 in triple overtime Friday night over Alta/Aurelia.
Four first half possessions led to three fumbles and a punt for the Vikings as they fell behind 14-0 at halftime.
After five straight three and outs by the two teams in the third quarter, Gabe Pauley carried three times for all 45 yards in a drive that ended with the senior going in from seven yards to cut the deficit to 14-7. A Warrior fumble in the fourth quarter led to another Pauley touchdown run of 18 yards to tie the game at 14-all. After another Warrior fumble set the Vikings up late, a 30 yard field goal try was blocked and the two teams went to overtime.
In the first OT period, Warrior QB Logan McCoy ran in from 4 yards out and a two point conversion made it 22-14 in fabor of Alta/Aurelia. Pauley answered with a 4 yard run in AHSTW’s OT possession and Drake Partridge caught a short pass to tie it again.
Neither team scored in the second overtime…AHSTW was stopped on fourth down at the one and the Warriors missed a 22 yard field goal try.
In the third overtime, Alta/Aurelia scored but missed the 2 point try, but after a Gabe Pauley 6 yard TD run tied it at 28, Blake Osbahr found Brayton Tuma on a short pass to the left and he just got in to the end zone to win the game.
The Exira-EHK Spartans set the tone early and ran away with a first round playoff win over Stanton 51-14 in Exira. The Spartans’ Jayden Goodwin picked off a Viking pass on their second play from scrimmage and they turned it into a touchdown two plays later on a 7 yard run by Cole Burmeister. That early sequence would set the tone for the rest of the night.
On the Vikings second possession they were forced to punt and a bad snap forced Drake Johnson to reach down to try to pick up the ball and his knee hit as he pick it up. That miscue gave the ball to Exira-EHK at the Viking 15 yard line. Two plays later Jayden Goodwin found paydirt on a 4 yard run and the Spartans lead grew to 14-0.
The Spartans scored to start the second quarter on a 65-yard pass from Tyler Petersen to Trey Nelson and then immediately got the ball back on a squib quick recovery that the Vikings mishandled. The Spartans capped that possession with a 16-yard hookup from Petersen to Creighton Nelson. A two point conversion made it a 29-0 lead for the Spartans. Stanton got on the board with a 17-yard pass from Colby Royal to Easton Hultmann. The two point hookup from Drake Johnson to Keygan Day made it 29-8. The Spartans would add a 24-yard touchdown pass from Petersen to Trey Nelson and a recovered muff punt in the end zone by Nelson before half to make it 44-8.
Each team would add just one more score in the second half as the game ran away quickly with the 35-point rule in effect.
Exira-EHK improved to 9-1 with the win and will move on to the Quarterfinals next Friday night. The Spartans will host the Fremont-Mills Knights next week in a rematch of a week one game that the Spartans won 45-27. The Knights advanced with a 61-8 win over Lenox.
