BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — LeShun Daniels Jr. ran for two scores and injured quarterback C.J. Beathard threw the clinching touchdown midway through the fourth quarter to keep No. 10 Iowa unbeaten with a 35-27 win at Indiana on Saturday. The Hawkeyes (9-0, 5-0 Big Ten, No. 9 CFP) have matched the best start in school history. The last time it happened was 2009.

It was another frustrating finish for Indiana (4-5, 0-5), which got within 21-20 after a 28-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter. But Daniels answered with a 1-yard scoring run, and Beathard sealed it with a 10-yard TD pass to George Kittle. Indiana got a late touchdown but was unable to recover the onside kick.

Beathard, who has been battling a groin injury, finished 19 of 33 for 231 yards. Indiana’s Jordan Howard ran 22 times for 174 yards and two scores against the nation’s No. 5 run defense, but the Hoosiers lost their fifth straight.

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) — Aaron Bailey rushed for a career-best four touchdowns and threw for another in Northern Iowa’s 59-13 victory over Indiana State on Saturday night. Bailey completed 8 of 13 for 114 yards and ran for 54 yards. He transferred from Illinois to Northern Iowa (5-4, 3-3 Missouri Valley Conference) before the 2015 season to remain a quarterback.

The Panthers took advantage Indiana State’s three turnovers to score 28 straight in the second quarter. Bailey scored his second 1-yard TD run to make it 17-0 with 11:56 left in the second quarter. Tim Kilfoy returned an interception 30 yards for a touchdown a minute later. Another interception led to Michael Malloy’s 10-yard score and Bailey followed a Sycamores fumble with a 2-yard TD run to make it 38-0 before the break.

Robert Tonyan Jr. had three catches for 80 yards and a touchdown for Indiana State (4-5, 2-4).

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Baker Mayfield completed 23 of 31 passes for 342 yards and three touchdowns and ran for a score to help No. 14 Oklahoma beat Iowa State 52-16 on Saturday night. Samaje Perine ran for 95 yards and a touchdown on 13 rushes, and Joe Mixon rushed for 88 yards and a touchdown on eight carries for Oklahoma (8-1, 5-1 Big 12, No. 15 CFP). The Sooners have won fourth straight, outscoring their opponents 232-50. Joel Lanning completed 26 of 51 passes for 260 yards and a touchdown for Iowa State (3-6, 2-4). The Cyclones have lost four of their last five.

ST. LOUIS (AP) – The Cardinals have made $15.8 million qualifying offers to outfielder Jason Heyward and pitcher John Lackey, free agents who were instrumental on the NL Central title team. St. Louis is likely to attempt to sign the 26-year-old Heyward to a multiyear deal. He hit .293 with 13 homers and 60 RBIs, and he is an NL Gold Glove finalist.

The 37-year-old Lackey came the ace after Adam Wainwright was sidelined with a torn left Achilles and went 13-10 with a career-best 2.77 ERA. He started in Games 1 and 4 of the NL Division Series against the Chicago Cubs. Players have until Nov. 13 to accept the offers. If each signs elsewhere, St. Louis would receive an extra pick after the first round of June’s amateur draft.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — Indiana already gave No. 1 Ohio State and No. 6 Michigan State big challenges this season. With a third top-10 matchup in six weeks looming, the Hoosiers (4-4, 0-4 Big Ten) are focused on finishing the job with a signature victory. No, things won’t get any easier Saturday when they host Iowa (8-0, 4-0) and its stingy defense.

But after pushing the Buckeyes and Spartans to the brink in October, Indiana’s players are convinced they’re capable of playing with any team even after losing four straight. What they must do, though, is play four full quarters of good football. The Hawkeyes, meanwhile, are the clear favorite in the West Division and have a chance to sneak into the College Football Playoff picture if they can sweep their final four games.

The Girls State Swimming and Diving Meet will be held this weekend at the Marshalltown YMCA/YWCA.  The schedule of events is as follows.

Basketball season starts soon, and the physical therapists at Cass County Health System are out in the community to speak with players about preventing injuries. Laura Hickman, DPT, ATC/L and Erin Johnson, PTA were recently at the Atlantic High School to talk with the varsity basketball teams about common knee injuries and ACL injuries including what causes them and ways to prevent them.

All of the athletes received information about exercises, tips to avoid ACL injuries/tear…s, warm-ups, and post-play cool downs. Laura and Erin both suffered ACL injuries as high school athletes, and they are now passionate about helping youth compete safely. They also spoke with the athletes about concussion symptoms and how to safely return to activity, and reminded them of the free injury screenings available to all student athletes any time they have a concern.
