U-N-I coach Mark Farley says giving up the points on a turnover in their first drive of the game sapped their momentum in a 30-9 loss at Iowa State.

Farley says his offense didn’t seem like it came out strong the entire first half and he says that carried over to the rest of the team as well.

Panther quarterback Theo Day got a lot of attention heading into the game and Farley says Day didn’t play as well as he should have, and will have to bounce back.

He says the entire team has to look at the loss and work to get better.

U-N-I hosts Weber State Saturday in Cedar Falls.

(Oakland) — The Vikings won on the road 41-7 against the Riverside Bulldogs. The victory came from explosive performances like Luke Sternberg scoring 3 total touchdowns and his quarterback Camden Soukup with 3 total as well. At the start of game Riverside Quarterback Grady Jeppesen threw an interception to Luke Sternberg, who quickly returned it back for a pick six.

The blunders would then continue on the kickoff when Riverside fumbled the ball, and it was recovered by AHSTW. Luke Sternberg would score again on the first snap of the drive and the Vikings now led 13-0.

Camden Soukup then had his first passing touchdown of the night as he threw a tight spiral on a long throw to Kaden Baxter. As the first quarter ended, the Vikings were up 20-0. The second quarter had another Sternberg touchdown run, this time 65 yards and the Vikings had taken over. Add in another touchdown pass in the corner of the endzone from Soukup to Gavin Newcomb and a two-point conversion. It was 35-0, AHSTW at halftime.

In the second half, the Vikings maintained majority of possession and added on to their lead with a 32-yard bullet down the sideline from Soukup to Baxter again.

The Bulldogs did manage to score with three minutes left to go, thanks to an elusive sprint from quarterback Brady Jeppesen. That would be their lone score of the night. The final in Oakland was 41-7.

Riverside showed determination with the play of Grady Jeppesen going 13-20 for 122 yards and rushing 37 yards. Jaxon Gordon had 87 yards on 23 carries.

Offensively, the Vikings could not be stopped. Kayden Baxter was the lead receiver with 2 touchdowns and 3 receptions of 91 yards. Gavin Newcomb also had a touchdown off of his lone reception for 13 yards. There was a strong attempt from the Vikings to control the run game and create opportunities for Luke Sternberg.

AHSTW Head Coach G.G. Harris was impressed with Sternberg’s talent last night.

While a 41-7 win has a nice look to it and surely builds confidence for a team. Coach Harris saw a few tweaks that needed to be made for next week, noting that his team can’t rely solely on explosive plays.

Both teams are on the road next week. Riverside will face South Central Calhoun and AHSTW goes up against Kuemper Catholic.

The Glenwood Rams found the end zone early and rolled to a 47-6 win over Atlantic at the Trojan Bowl on Friday night. Glenwood senior quarterback Kayden Anderson was sharp throwing two touchdown passes to Payton Longmeyer and running for another score.

The Rams scored on the opening possession of the game with a 14-yard pass from Anderson to Longmeyer. The Ram defense forced a three and out for Atlantic’s first possession and Longmeyer had a great return to the Atlantic 17 yard line to set up his own score. On the next play Longmeyer cut inside and raced in for a touchdown run to put the Rams up 14-0 early. A 3-yard touchdown run by Tristan Meier on the next possession made it 21-0 before the end of the first quarter. The lead snowballed from there.

Atlantic was finally able to get a positive drive together to start the second half but it was almost thwarted by an interception. The Rams gave it back on the following play with a fumble and Atlantic eventually hit pay dirt. The second play of the fourth quarter had Zayden Parker hit Colton Rasmussen for a 10 yard touchdown connection. The point after try was blocked and that’s where the score would finish. The second half melted away fast with a running clock in place.

Atlantic falls to 1-1 on the season and will now prep for a long road trip to Jefferson next week to face Greene County. Glenwood improved to 2-0 and will have a big game next week at Harlan.

HEAR FROM HEAD COACH TYLER STITH
“Playing at home is a unique experience. It is something that the guys enjoy, playing at a golf course that they are familiar with. They know they have played well there in the past, winning a year ago. It’s a great way for us to start off the season. Playing something close to home on a familiar golf course that we know we can win.”

LOOKING AHEAD
The Hawkeyes will compete in the Chicago Highlands Collegiate on Sept. 18-19, at the Chicago Highlands Club. Wake Forest is set to host the tournament.

(Radio Iowa) – The Department of Natural Resources has advised against swimming in 11 lakes across the state again this week. The D-N-R’s Jason Palmer in the Water Quality division says the return of wildlife and agricultural runoff toward the end of the season has created an elevated risk for all types of harmful bacteria. They look first for E-coli.

Palmer says birds in the water around the beaches have elevated the concern of possible bacteria.

The D-N-R held over last week’s advisories as they says the heatwave made it unsafe for workers to take new samples.

With question marks at quarterback and running back the Iowa State Cyclones open the season at home against Northern Iowa. Coach Matt Campbell said this week both redshirt freshman Rocco Becht and true freshman J.J. Kohl could play. Despite young players at several key spots Campbell says the expectations remain the same.

Even with several young players on the field the keys for the Cyclones remain the same.

UNI has an experienced quarterback in Theo Day.

Campbell says the Panther offense will provide a challenge.

Iowa opens the season at home against Utah State on Saturday. The Hawkeyes are a better than three touchdown favorites, but coach Kirk Ferentz says the opening week always includes several stunning outcomes.

Ferentz says the first game always has a lot of question marks and the transfer portal only adds to that.

Much of this week has been spent speculating on the availability of quarterback Cade McNamara. The Michigan transfer was listed as questionable this week by Ferentz with a muscle strain. If he can’t go the likely starter is Wisconsin transfer Deacon Hill.
