DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Robbie Kelley threw for two touchdowns and ran for another as Division II Quincy upset Drake 38-35 in a season opener for both teams on Saturday. Kelley threw for 293 yards for the Hawks. Jaylan James ran for 178 yards and two scores. Eric Poindexter had seven receptions for 165 yards and grabbed both of Kelley’s scoring passes.
Drake went up 7-0 early on a Conley Wilkins run but the Hawks replied with a Nathan Kewney 35-yard field goal with 6:33 left in the first quarter and then took advantage of a Cody Thibault interception to take the lead on a 28-yard scoring pass from Kelley to Poindexter. Kelley hit Poindexter again for a 67-yard touchdown early in the second quarter and the Hawks went on to a 28-21 halftime lead. They never trailed again.
Thibault threw for 170 yards and two touchdowns for the Bulldogs but was intercepted twice.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Aaron Bailey threw for 135 yards, ran for 114 more and had two touchdowns as Northern Iowa rallied to beat Iowa State 25-20 Saturday and spoil coach Matt Campbell’s debut with the Cyclones. UNI’s J’Veyon Browning scored from 1 yard out with 2:49 left after a Joel Lanning interception, putting the Panthers ahead by five.
Cyclones running back Mike Warren fumbled it right back to Northern Iowa, and Lanning’s final pick with 1:10 left sealed what could hardly be considered an upset for Northern Iowa. Lanning finished with 256 yards passing, three touchdowns and those two costly interceptions. The Panthers scored touchdowns after an Iowa State safety, fumble and interception in beating the Cyclones for the second time since 2013.
Up next, the Cyclones will travel to Iowa City to face rival Iowa, ranked 17th. The Hawkeyes had some issues defensively, but their offense averaged eight yards a play as they rolled 45-21 over Miami (Ohio) on Saturday. Iowa State has beaten Iowa more than once after looking sluggish in its opener, but it’ll likely be a big underdog against the defending Big Ten West champion. The Panthers move on to host Montana, ranked No. 13 in the FCS, in a key non-conference showdown in Cedar Falls.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Akrum Wadley ran for 121 yards and two touchdowns, LeShun Daniels added 83 yards rushing and two scores, and No. 17 Iowa beats Miami (Ohio) 45-21 on Saturday. C.J. Beathard was 13 of 20 passing for 192 yards and a touchdown for the Hawkeyes (1-0), whose sloppy defensive play in the second half let Miami hang around.
Daniels and Wadley each scored twice in the first half, and Jerminic Smith’s 12-yard TD reception put the Hawkeyes ahead 35-7 early in the third quarter. The RedHawks (0-1) had touchdown drives of 75 and 74 yards with the game seemingly in hand. But Derrick Mitchell Jr.’s touchdown run with 3:08 left put Iowa ahead by 24. Billy Bahl threw for 266 yards and two TDs for Miami, which outgained Iowa 424-404.
The Hawkeyes get their first Power Five test of the season when rival Iowa State visits Kinnick Stadium next Saturday. The Cyclones have a new coach, Matt Campbell, and an offensive line decimated by injuries and departures. But Iowa State usually plays Iowa tough. The Hawkeyes needed two late TDs to beat the Cyclones 31-17 last year in Ames.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – The Chiefs have cut quarterbacks Aaron Murray and rookie Kevin Hogan, meaning Tyler Bray will be the backup to Alex Smith and Nick Foles for the regular-season opener against San Diego. The Chiefs announced a series of roster moves Saturday to reach the NFL’s limit of 53 players, though they actually have 54 on the active roster. They have an exemption for franchise safety Eric Berry, who did not report to camp until last weekend, that does not expire until next weekend.
Along with a series of cuts, the Chiefs traded cornerback Marcus Cooper to Arizona and wide receiver Rod Streater to San Francisco for undisclosed draft picks. They wound up keeping fringe running back Knile Davis and wide receiver De’Anthony Thomas.

Iowa State hopes to make Matt Campbell a winner in his debut as the Cyclones host Northern Iowa this (Saturday) evening. Campbell will try to make a consistent winner out of a program that has not enjoyed a winning season since 2009. Campbell says a key will be slowing down UNI dual threat quarterback Aaron Bailey.
The Panthers have a lot of new starters in the secondary but Campbell says they are not necessarily new faces. UNI coach Mark Farley says with a new staff at Iowa State they must be prepared to make adjustments on the run. Farley says the Panthers must handle the atmosphere but it is a great way to start the season.
It is a 7:00 p.m. kickoff in Jack Trice Stadium.

Iowa takes lofty expectations and a number 17 national ranking into today’s (Saturday’s) opener at home against Miami of Ohio. The Hawkeyes are a four touchdown favorite but coach Kirk Ferentz knows openers can be unpredictable. Miami of Ohio was 3-9 a year ago but Ferentz says the Redhawks are an experienced team. It is a 2:30 p.m. kickoff in Kinnick Stadium. Pre-game coverage begins at 12:30 on KJAN AM 1220 and FM 101.1.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles remains iffy for the season opener against the Chargers. Chiefs coach Andy Reid said on a conference call with reporters Friday that Charles “might need some more time to get himself back,” though Reid did not rule him out of next weekend’s game.
Charles tore the ACL in his right knee in Week 5 last season. He has been working out for several weeks, though he did not participate in any of the Chiefs’ preseason games. Reid was more optimistic about safety Eric Berry and linebacker Tamba Hali.
Berry did not report to training camp until last weekend after refusing to sign his franchise tender, while Hali is returning from surgery in February on his ailing knee.
CINCINNATI (AP) — Eugenio Suarez singled up the middle with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth inning Friday night, rallying the Cincinnati Reds to a 3-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cardinals were hoping to start a final-month surge toward the playoffs — they’re in position to get the NL’s second wild card berth behind San Francisco. Instead, the Reds snapped a four-game losing streak.
Seung Hwan Oh (4-3) walked Zack Cozart on four pitches to open the ninth, and Brandon Phillips followed with a single. After Scott Schebler singled one out later to load the bases, Suarez got his first career game-ending hit. The Reds had loaded the bases in the seventh and eighth and failed to score.
Raisel Iglesias (1-1) gave up a walk in the ninth. Yadier Molina and Randal Grichuk homered for St. Louis.
