The South Dakota Coyotes built an early lead and held on for a win over the UNI Panthers 34-21 on Saturday at the UNI-Dome. The Coyotes built a 24-0 lead by halftime behind two touchdown passes and one on the ground.

UNI scored the first two touchdowns of the second half with a Vance McShane 62 yard run and a 28-yard hookup from Theo Day to Sam Schnee. The Coyotes would counter back though with 45 yard field goal and a Nate Thomas touchdown run to lead 34-14 by the end of the third. Theo Day hit Sergio Morancy for a 20 yard score with 3:37 left to tally the final margin.

UNI outgained USD 393 to 314 but the Coyotes had a 13 minute advantage in time of possession. The Coyotes took advantage of two big turnovers and a botched punt by the Panthers to aid in their victory as well.

South Dakota improved to 5-2 on the season and 3-1 in the Valley. UNI falls to 3-3 overall and 1-2 in MVC play.

Next up for UNI is a road trip to Brookings, SD to face South Dakota State next Saturday. That game has been set for a 2:00 p.m. kickoff and will be available on ESPN3.

Iowa State runs past K-State

October 17th, 2021 by admin

MANHATTAN, Kan. – Breece Hall rushed for a career-high 197 yards and two touchdowns and Brock Purdy was an efficient 22-of-25 for 208 yards and a score as Iowa State downed Kansas State 33-20 Saturday night. Purdy set the school record for completion percentage and now owns two of the top three totals in program history.

The Wildcats had won 15 of the last 16 games in Manhattan. The teams split the last four meetings in the series, with each team winning two home games. Prior to that, K-State had won 10 straight games in the series.

K-State quarterback Skylar Thompson was 15-of-23 for 206 yards and two touchdowns and one interception.

Hall has now rushed for a touchdown in 18 straight games, a Big 12 record and the fifth longest streak in FBS since 1996.

Hall rushed 75 yards for a touchdown on the opening play of the game, finding a hole on the right side of the offensive line and racing untouched until the 10-yard line, where he eluded a defender diving for his feet.

After Greg Eisworth intercepted Thompson, Andrew Mevis hit a 44-yard field goal to give Iowa State a 10-0 lead.

After K-State converted a second-and-23 for a first down, Thompson found Phillip Brooks for a 40-yard touchdown pass to get the Cats on the board.

Kansas State missed a chance to tie the score on a 33-yard field goal when Taiten Winkel missed wide right. Iowa State responded with a 14-play, 80-yard drive capped by Hall’s 1-yard run. Mevis hit a 41-yard field goal as time expired to take a 20-7 lead to the half.

Iowa State started the second half with an 18-play, 93-yard drive that took more than 10 minutes off the clock. Purdy hit Sean Shaw in the front corner of the end zone for an 11-yard touchdown to close the drive.

Thompson punched it in from the 1-yard line in the fourth quarter to cut it to 27-13 and Mevis connected on another 41-yard field goal to extend the lead to 30-13.

K-State followed with an 11-play, 75-yard drive capped by Thompson’s nine-yard scoring pass to Malik Knowles. Mevis then hit his fourth field goal, this one from 40 yards.

Purdue took the lead for good with a touchdown pass :19 before halftime from O’Connell to TJ Sheffield. The Boilermakers would add a 31-yard field goal and Bell’s touchdown to seal the win in the second half. It was the first time an AP top 2 team lost to an unranked team at home since 2014.

Iowa quarterback Spencer Petras had a tough day going 17 of 32 passing with 4 interceptions. Ivory Kelly-Martin had the lone score of the day for Iowa on a 3 yard run in the second quarter.

Purdue improved to 4-2 overall and 2-1 in the Big 10. Iowa suffers their first loss of the season and are now 6-1 overall and 3-1 in Big 10 play.

Next up for the Hawkeyes is a bye week, followed by a trip to Madison, WI to face the Badgers.

Report: Deere CEO sells more than $72k in company stocks days before strike

October 17th, 2021 by Ric Hanson

(KCRG) Moline, Il. — Reports show John Deere CEO John May sold $72,473 company stocks a few days before the strike began. Earlier this week, more than 10,000 John Deere workers went on strike after negotiations between United Auto Workers and John Deere failed.

The majority of union workers rejected a contract that would have delivered 5% raises to some workers and 6% raises to others. According to documents acquired by KCRG, the Security and Exchange Commission reported on Tuesday that May began selling stocks in March 2021. But the SEC requires the documents to be filed within two business days after the transaction.

KCRG reports the John Deere stock decreased by 6.3% in the last month and 3% in the last five days. John Deere has not responded to KCRG’s request for comment.
