(Radio Iowa) – The Oklahoma-Iowa State football series has been lopsided but it has been more competitive since Matt Campbell took over the Cyclone program. ISU has only beaten the Sooners twice in their last 49 meetings but they did win in Norman in 2017 and the last four games have been decided by 10 points or less.

Campbell says limiting mistakes and solid tackling are a must against teams like Oklahoma.

Oklahoma is coming off a loss at home in its Big-12 opener to Kansas State.

Campbell says the Sooners always have a great deal of talent and this season is no different.

(Radio Iowa) – Northern Iowa coach Mark Farley says with the change in their season the calendar has flipped. The Panthers will now play a spring season beginning in late February and UNI opens practice on Tuesday that Farley says resembles spring drills.

The Panthers will be allowed 15 practices through the end of October and Farley says one of his goals is to get all of the young players game ready.

They will also need to get the players ready for two seasons in one calendar year.

The spring season will feature eight games as well as the FCS playoffs.

Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press

UNDATED (AP) — All the playoff matchups in Major League Baseball have been set. The expanded 16-team field was filled out on the final day of this pandemic-altered season. The Milwaukee Brewers got a playoff spot despite a losing record, and so did Houston. The St. Louis Cardinals also advanced with a win. The best-of-three wild-card round begins Tuesday with four American League games. In a marquee matchup, Shane Bieber of the Cleveland Indians faces Gerrit Cole of the New York Yankees. The National League games start Wednesday, when the Brewers play at Dodger Stadium. There will be no fans permitted in ballparks for the opening round.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Harrison Bader tripled and homered to help the St. Louis Cardinals clinch a postseason berth on the final day of the regular season with a 5-2 win over Milwaukee, and the Brewers also earned a playoff spot Sunday via help on the West Coast moments later. St. Louis will be the fifth seed in the NL and will open a three-game wild-card series at San Diego on Wednesday. By winning, the Cardinals avoided having to travel to Detroit for two makeup games Monday. The Brewers will be the eighth seed after the San Diego Padres beat San Francisco 5-4.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Brady Singer finished his rookie season with a stellar performance, Alex Gordon wrapped up his long Royals career with a fond farewell and Kansas City ended its season with a 3-1 win over the Detroit Tigers. Adalberto Mondesi and Ryan McBroom homered for the Royals, who finished just above the last-place Tigers in the AL Central in their first season under manager Mike Matheny.

UNDATED (AP) — The Minnesota Twins clinched baseball’s final available division title, taking the AL Central when the Chicago White Sox lost to the Cubs, 10-8. The Twins needed the Cubs to beat their crosstown rivals following Minnesota’s 5-3 loss to Cincinnati.

ATLANTA (AP) — Nick Foles replaced Mitchell Trubisky in the third quarter and tossed three touchdown passes over the final 6 1/2 minutes of the Chicago Bears’ wild 30-26 comeback win over the Falcons in Atlanta. The Bears improved to 3-0 for the first time since 2013 after becoming the latest team to rally from a huge second-half deficit versus Atlanta. The Falcons are the first team in NFL history to lose back-to-back games in which it led by 15 or more points in the final period.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Aaron Rodgers passed for 283 yards and three touchdowns, and the Green Bay Packers remained unbeaten with a 37-30 victory over the New Orleans Saints.

Stephen Gostkowski made his career-high sixth field goal of game, a 55-yarder with 1:48 left that lifted undefeated Tennessee to a 31-30 victory over the Vikings. Derrick Henry rushed for 119 yards and two third-quarter touchdowns while Ryan Tannehill passed for 321 yards for another comeback after trailing most of the game.

UNDATED (AP) — The relationship between Andy Reid and John Harbaugh grew roots in Philadelphia, and the two successful NFL coaches have remained friends despite competing against each other for supremacy in the AFC. Harbaugh used much of the knowledge he absorbed during his 10-year run as an Eagles assistant under Reid to become a successful head coach with the Baltimore Ravens. Although Reid and Harbaugh stay in close contact, communication was put on hold in the days leading up to the Monday night showdown between Reid’s defending champion Kansas City Chiefs and the Ravens, who have won 14 straight regular-season games.

St. Louis (AP) — Harrison Bader tripled and homered to help the St. Louis Cardinals clinch a postseason berth on the final day of the regular season with a 5-2 win over the Milwaukee Brewers. St. Louis will be the fifth seed in the NL and will open a three-game wild-card series at San Diego on Wednesday. By winning, the Cardinals avoided having to travel to Detroit for two makeup games Monday.

The Brewers also would have locked up a spot with a victory but weren’t eliminated by the loss. Milwaukee would still qualify for the postseason if the Giants lost to the Padres on Sunday. San Diego led 5-4 entering the ninth inning.

The Atlantic boys and girls cross country teams performed well on Saturday at the Harlan Cross Country Meet. The Boys won the team title with 69-points, while the Girls placed third with 74-points.
