ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Nebraska will play Georgia in the Capital One Bowl Jan. 1 at the Florida Citrus Bowl. The Cornhuskers, who lost to Wisconsin in the Big Ten championship game, are appearing the Capital One Bowl for the second straight season. They fell to South Carolina in last season’s matchup. Nebraska (10-3) will be making its 49th bowl appearance, coming off its third 10-win season in four years.
Georgia, from the Southeastern Conference, is making its sixth appearance in the Capital One Bowl, having last beaten Michigan State in 2009. The Bulldogs (11-2) won the SEC East for the second consecutive year, but fell to Alabama in the conference championship game.
This will mark the second time Georgia and Nebraska have met. Nebraska defeated the Bulldogs 45-6 in the 1969 Sun Bowl.
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) – The Nebraska Cornhuskers will play a Southeastern Conference team in the Capital One Bowl on New Year’s Day. Bowl officials announced Nebraska’s selection Sunday, one day after the Huskers’ disappointing 70-31 loss to Wisconsin in the Big Ten championship game.
Nebraska fell to No. 23 in The Associated Press top 25 after Saturday’s loss. The Huskers had been ranked No. 14. Nebraska played in last year’s Capital One Bowl in Orlando, Fla., and lost to South Carolina 30-13. The SEC team is expected to be named later on Sunday. The Jan. 1 game will be played at noon central and televised on either ESPN or ABC.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Against the backdrop of an unthinkable tragedy, the Kansas City Chiefs gave themselves a reason to be proud Sunday – and perhaps the impetus to let the healing begin. Brady Quinn threw for 201 yards and two touchdowns, and Jamaal Charles ran for 127 yards in the Chiefs’ 27-21 victory over their Carolina Panthers. The win snapped an eight-game losing streak during one of the most difficult seasons the franchise has ever experienced.
The win came just one day after Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher shot his girlfriend multiple times at a residence near Arrowhead Stadium, then drove to the team’s practice facility and turned the gun on himself as general manager Scott Pioli and coach Romeo Crennel looked on. Pioli walked through the press box before the game and said he was doing “OK,” though he didn’t stop to talk. Crennel was on the sideline coaching his team to an uplifting victory.
JOSEPHINE M. FAGEN, 84, of Panora, died Sat., Dec. 1st, at the Greene County Medical Center in Jefferson. No services are planned for JOSEPHINE FAGEN. Burial of her cremains will be at a later date. Twigg Funeral Home in Panora has the arrangements.
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources says a Red Oak man was injured Sunday morning while hunting deer west of Indianola. 58-year old Miles Sagen was hit in the shoulder/upper chest area by a deer slug fired at a running deer by some else in his nine-member hunting party at approximately 8:30 a.m. Sunday.
The slug traveled approximately 144 yards before striking Sagen, according to Allen Crouse, recreational safety officer for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. Sagen was transported by ambulance to Iowa Methodist Medical Center in Des Moines.
During the preliminary investigation of the incident, Crouse said it was impossible to see someone more than 100 yards away because of the dense fog, even if the person was wearing blaze orange. He strongly urges hunters to “Reconsider hunting” in conditions where dense fog is present, because “It just isn’t safe.”
The incident is still under investigation by the DNR.
Page County Sheriff Lyle Palmer, Sunday, said deputies from his county arrested a Shenandoah man Saturday afternoon. 43-year old Thomas Duane Ayres was arrested for allegedly being a Felon in Possession of a Firearm, a Class-D felony offense. Sheriff’s Deputies, with the assistance of officers with the Iowa Dept. of Natural Resources, took Ayres into custody a little before 4:30-p.m. Saturday.
Ayres was transported to the Page County Sheriff’s Office where he later posted bond and was released. A court date has not yet been set.
CORRECTIONVILLE, Iowa (AP) – Two of the three people on board a small plane that crashed in northwest Iowa have been identified. Authorities say Gaylen Knaack, of Correctionville, was flying the plane when it crashed into a farm field 2 1/2 miles south of Correctionville around 8 p.m. Knaack’s two passengers died in the crash, and Knaack sustained serious burns.
Former Anthon Fire Chief Mike Berning says longtime firefighter Lee Schroeder was one of the passengers killed in the crash. Schroeder was scheduled to portray Santa Claus at a town celebration next weekend. Authorities have not yet identified the other passenger.
The 70-year-old Knaack was taken to a Sioux City hospital and later transferred to a burn center in Lincoln. Saint Elizabeth spokeswoman Betty Thompson says Knaack was in critical condition Sunday.
