Sports

October 19th, 2014 by Ric Hanson

VALPARAISO, Ind. (AP) — Quarterback Andy Rice scored on a 1-yard run in the fourth quarter and Drew Ormseth later sealed it with an interception return for a touchdown, giving Drake a 17-9 win over Valparaiso Saturday. Drake (4-3, 3-1 Pioneer) erased a 9-0 deficit, pushing ahead 10-9 on Rice’s run, capping a 14-play, 79-yard drive.

Valparaiso (2-5, 0-3) then forced two punts and blocked a field goal, getting the ball back with 2:04 left. Scott Staal was picked off five plays later by Ormseth, who returned it 39 yards for the score. The Crusaders had one more chance with 44 seconds remaining, but Brad Duwe intercepted Staal’s second-down pass to end it.

Rice threw for 265 yards with two interceptions and Michael Hudson had 93 yards on eight receptions. Staal threw for 52 yards in relief of the injured Ben Lehman, who threw an 8-yard touchdown to Ryan Shea for a 6-0 lead.

Maryland rallies past Iowa 38-31 in Big 10 clash

Sports

October 19th, 2014 by Ric Hanson

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) — Will Likely returned an interception 45 yards for a fourth-quarter touchdown, and Maryland rallied from an early 14-point deficit to beat Iowa 38-31 Saturday for its first Big Ten home victory. The Terrapins (5-2, 2-1) scored 24 straight points after falling behind by two touchdowns with 8½ minutes elapsed. It was 24-21 before Likely picked off a Jake Rudock pass and sprinted untouched into the end zone with 12:29 left.

Stefon Diggs caught nine passes for 130 yards and a touchdown for Maryland, playing its first season in the Big Ten after leaving the Atlantic Coast Conference. The Terps are now 1-1 at home in league play after losing 52-24 to Ohio State two weeks ago.

Iowa (5-2, 2-1) committed three turnovers, sputtered offensively after its quick start and had its three-game winning streak end. Rudock went 32 for 56 for 317 yards and two touchdowns.

Rose kick sends Texas over Iowa State 48-45

Sports

October 19th, 2014 by Ric Hanson

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Nick Rose kicked a 21-yard field goal with 3 seconds left, sending Texas to a wild 48-45 victory over Iowa State, snapping a two-game losing streak in what had been the worst start for the Longhorns in nearly 60 years.

Iowa State had tied it 45-45 with 28 seconds left on E.J. Bibbs’ second touchdown catch. Texas quarterback Tyrone Swoopes then threw two long passes to Jaxon Shipley and John Harris to set up Rose’s winning kick.

Texas (3-4, 2-2 Big 12) first had to see if Harris’ sideline catch would hold up under review. Once confirmed, Texas sent out Rose rather than run another play. Swoopes passed for 321 yards and also ran for 95 yards and a touchdown. Sam Richardson passed for 345 yards for Iowa State (2-5, 0-4). The teams combined for more than 1,000 yards total offense.

Texas’ 2-4 start was its worst since 1956.

Toast nuts for increased nutty flavor and crisper texture. Only a few minutes are necessary with any of three methods.
1. Oven-toasting: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread nuts in a single layer in a rimmed ungreased shallow pan. Bake 5 to 10 minutes until golden brown stirring several times. Best method for a larger amount.
2. Microwave: Works best for small amounts such as one tablespoon to 1/2 cup. Mix with a small amount of butter, margarine or oil to lightly coat. Spread on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir. Microwave for another minute if necessary.
3. Stove-top: Spread evenly in a dry, heavy skillet over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown. Don’t walk away. Stir or toss frequently.
Guidelines for all methods:
>Toast an entire batch after purchase. They will be ready to use when needed.
>Toasting time varies with size and variety of nuts.
>The first time you try toasting nuts, it is better to err on the side of under-toasting than over-toasting.
>Toast before chopping into smaller pieces.
>Store toasted nuts in an air tight container in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in freezer for up to 6 months.

SUGARED PECANS
1 pound pecan halves
1 egg white
1 tablespoon water
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Beat egg white with water until frothy. Mix sugar, salt and cinnamon in a large, zip-closure plastic bag. Dip pecans in egg white.
