IOWA CITY, Iowa — University of Iowa senior defensive back Matt Hankins has been named Big Ten Co-Defensive Player of the Week following No. 3 Iowa’s 23-20 win over No. 4 Penn State. The announcement was made Monday by the Big Ten Conference office.

Hankins was credited with five tackles in Iowa’s win over Penn State, including three solo stops and two assists, along with Iowa’s fourth and final interception of the day. Hankins was credited with a solo tackle on a Penn State fourth-and-three attempt with 3:39 remaining, stopping a PSU drive that reached the Iowa 45-yardline.

Hankins (6-foot-0, 185-pounds) then stopped Penn State’s next possession with an interception on fourth down, his third of the season. Hankins had two interceptions earlier this season in Iowa’s 27-17 win at No. 9 Iowa State.

A native of Lewisville, Texas, Hankins has started 22 consecutive games and has 33 career starts. He returned in 2021 for a fifth season. He has totaled 188 career tackles and six career thefts. He is part of an Iowa defense that has a nation-leading 16 interceptions through six games.

The weekly honor is the first for Hankins, who becomes the fourth Hawkeye to earn conference accolades this season. Defensive back Riley Moss was named Defensive Player of the Week following Iowa’s 34-6 season-opening win over No. 17 Indiana. Punter Tory Taylor shared the Special Teams Player of the Week honor following his performance in Iowa’s 27-17 win at No. 9 Iowa State. Linebacker Jack Campbell earned the weekly defensive award for his performance in Iowa’s win over Colorado State.

Iowa celebrates Homecoming Saturday, Oct. 16, hosting Purdue (2:30 p.m. CT, ABC). The contest is sold out.

The Buffalo Bills jumped out to a 24-13 lead by half and held firm for a 38-20 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Josh Allen passed for 315 yards and 3 touchdowns and ran for another to lead the Bills offense. The Bills also took advantage of two Patrick Mahomes interceptions, returning one for a touchdown.

Mahomes finished the game 33-54 for 272 yards, 2 touchdowns, and those two interceptions. The Chiefs didn’t have much time to get the run game going after falling behind early and top back Clyde Edwards-Helaire left the game with a knee injury.

The Bills improve to 4-1 on the season and will travel to Nashville to face the Titans next Monday night.

The Chiefs fall to 2-3 on the season and will travel to DC to face Washington next Saturday for a 12:00 p.m. Central kickoff. We’ll have coverage on the Chiefs Radio Network starting at 11:00 a.m.

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State head men’s basketball coach T.J. Otzelberger announced Friday that redshirt freshman Xavier Foster is no longer a member of the program.

“We hold our program to high standards and there are expectations that our student-athletes be accountable both on and off the court,” Otzelberger said. “After much consideration, I have decided that this is necessary as we continue to build our culture.”

Foster, an Oskaloosa, Iowa, native, played in seven games last season before his season ended on Jan. 11 due to a foot injury originally sustained in high school. He averaged 4.0 points in 7.8 minutes per game.

It has been noted by Ames Police that Foster is a person of interest in an ongoing Sexual Assault investigation.

The Iowa Hawkeyes rallied from 14 points down and beat Penn State 23-20 on Saturday in Iowa City. The Hawkeyes outscored the Nittany Lions 10-0 in the fourth quarter to grab the win.

Spencer Petras went 17-31 passing for 195 yards and 2 touchdowns. Including the go ahead score to Ragaini in the final period. It was Iowa’s first win over a top five team since beating then #3 Ohio State in 2017.

Penn State quarteback Sean Clifford left the game with an injury with a few minutes left in the first half and did not return. Penn State fell to 5-1 overall and 2-1 in the Big Ten.

Iowa improves to 6-0 overall and 3-0 in Big Ten play. Next up for the Hawkeyes is a home game against Purdue next Saturday. Kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m. and we’ll have coverage on KJAN starting at 12:30 p.m.

The #12 UNI Panthers fell on the road to the #5 North Dakota State Bison on Saturday in Fargo. The Bison outscored the Panthers 21-10 in the second half to seal the victory.

UNI receiver Isaiah Weston had a touchdown in the second quarter to go with 181 yards on 5 catches. He extended his streak of receiving touchdowns in a game to 4. The Panthers fall to 3-2 overall and 1-1 in the Valley.

The Panthers will next host South Dakota next Saturday at 4:00 p.m. It will be Family Weekend with fans encouraged to wear white. The game will be available on ESPN+

The Drake Bulldog football team came up short 28-10 to Dayton at home on Saturday. Dayton Outscored the Bulldogs 14-0 in the second quarter and pulled away for the win.

The Flyers took the lead when a high snap sailed over Drake pounter Shane Dunning’s head and was scooped up by the Flyer’s Ca’ron Coleman at the four yard line and run in for the score. Rushing touchdowns by Jack Cook and Jake Chisolm put Dayton up 21-0 in the third quarter.

The Flyers won their second straight game in the series. They improve to 3-2 overall and 2-1 in the Pioneer Football League.

All of Drake’s 10 points came in the fourth quarter. The Bulldogs fall to 2-4 overall and 1-2 in the PFL. Next up for the Dogs is a trip to San Diego for a 4:00 p.m. central kick next Saturday.

(Radio Iowa) – Third ranked Iowa looks to stay unbeaten by hosting fourth ranked Penn State, today (Saturday). The Iowa defense has forced 16 turnovers already this season but coach Kirk Ferentz says a Nittany Lion offense led by quarterback Sean Clifford will be a challenge.

Ferentz says while the build up to the game is fun it still comes down to performance.

Ferentz says no matter what the outcome there is still half of the regular season yet to play.

We’ll have the pre-game for today’s action at 1-p.m., followed by the kick-off from Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City, at 3-p.m., on KJAN.
