WACO, Texas (AP) — Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads knows it will be difficult trying to stop second-ranked Baylor’s big-play offense. The 2-4 Cyclones on Saturday play one of the nation’s top three offenses for the third week in a row. Baylor is the best of the bunch by a large margin, piling up 720 total yards and 64 points a game.

Only halfway through the regular season for 6-0 Baylor, Corey Coleman already has a school-record 16 touchdown catches. Seth Russell leads the FBS with his 27 touchdown receptions and Shock Linwood leads the Big 12 with 134 yards rushing per game. The Bears have an FBS-best 19-game home winning streak. They won 62-38 last week over West Virginia, the only team to beat them in the regular season last year.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Andy Reid was never under any pretense that Jamaal Charles was irreplaceable. Shortly after the four-time Pro Bowl running back went down with a season-ending ACL injury, the Chiefs coach was among the first to acknowledge the difficulty in replacing him. So far, that challenge has proven to be bigger than even Reid estimated.

In their first game without No. 25 in the backfield, the Chiefs were bottled up a week ago by the Minnesota Vikings. Charcandrick West ran for 33 yards, Knile Davis managed just 13 more on five carries, and the Chiefs finished with 57 yards rushing in a 16-10 defeat. In the five games before Charles was hurt? The Chiefs averaged 110 yards on the ground.

“There were some positive things that are going to get overlooked because we didn’t win the game,” Reid said. “Charcandrick did some nice things — nice things, really.” Then again, he also fumbled late in the game, squandering a chance at a go-ahead touchdown.

The Board of Directors for the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union met on Wednesday and announced a couple of changes.  Adjustments were made in regards to sites for regional final softball games and for soccer classification. Details from the Athletic Union are listed below.

Upon recommendation from the IGHSAU Softball Advisory Committee and approval by the IGHSAU Board of Directors, 2016 regional final softball games in all classes (1A – 5A) will be played on the home field of the highest seeded team remaining of the two regional final teams.  In order to secure the privilege to host, sites must have adequate lighting, and meet certain other minimum facility requirements.  The Committee and Directors believe this is positive step that will increase excitement and attendance at these state qualifying games.

State Qualifying Cross Country Meets will be held tonight in all classes with most meets beginning at 4:00pm.  The top 3 teams and top 15 individuals from each site will qualify for the state meet which will be held in Fort Dodge on October 31st.  Follow the links below to see which teams are competing at where.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles has had surgery to repair the torn ACL in his right knee, the first step toward what he hopes is a return to the field by the start of next season. The surgery was performed Tuesday by orthopedist Dr. James Andrews.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Wednesday that everything went according to plan and that “all reports are good.” Charles also posted a photo of him in the hospital on Instagram with a caption that read, “Surgery went well (and) now the road to recovery begins.”

Charles was hurt early in the third quarter of a loss to Chicago on Oct. 11. Charcandrick West and Knile Davis split the bulk of his carries last week in Minnesota.
Kansas City plays Pittsburgh on Sunday. You can hear the game following church services Sunday morning, here on KJAN.
