Iowa State coach Matt Campbell says upsets happen every week and the Cyclones look to avoid being involved in the next one. ISU is at home on Saturday to take on an Ohio team that is coming off a 46-10 loss at Penn State.

Marshall won at Notre Dame last week and Appalachian State beat Texas A@M. Campbell says the Ohio players will come to Jack Trice Stadium believing they can win.

Mistakes were a concern in last week’s win at Iowa. The Cyclones had two punts blocked.

Campbell does not believe it is a concern going forward.

Atlantic Community Schools will recognize the 2002 championship football team at the Trojan Bowl on Friday, September 16. The team is celebrating the 20th anniversary of their state championship run and looks forward to viewing the impressively renovated Trojan Bowl and visiting with teammates and community members. Prior to the game there will be a separate area in the Trojan Bowl parking lot for players, their family members, coaches, and administrators to meet, greet, and eat at a tailgate! There will be reserved seating at the Trojan Bowl for players. Those wishing to play golf on Saturday, September 17, will meet at Atlantic Golf and Country Club at 9:00 a.m. The planning committee consisting of Andy Mitchell, Joe Brummer, Kelly Muller, Gaylord Schelling and Bob Sweeney hopes that team members will have time to reflect on past successes and share current endeavors with their teammates and community members.

IOWA CITY, Iowa — University of Iowa sophomore defensive lineman Lukas Van Ness has been named Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week following Iowa’s 10-7 Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series loss to Iowa State. The announcement was made Monday by the Big Ten Conference office.

Van Ness tied an Iowa single game record with two blocked kicks in the game as he got his hand on two Cyclone punts. The two blocks mark the first time a Hawkeye has blocked two punts in a game since Sean Considine at Iowa State in 2003.

The first block of the game came on Iowa State’s first possession and the Iowa offense converted it into a touchdown to take a 7-0 lead. His second block of the game came in the third quarter, but the Hawkeye possession ended with a turnover.

Van Ness, a native of Barrington, Illinois (Barrington High School), has seen action at both tackle and end for the Hawkeye defense through two games. He added two tackles Saturday, including one tackle for loss. Van Ness and the Iowa defense are allowing just 81 rushing yards and 6.5 points per game.

Van Ness (6-foot-5, 275-pounds) made an immediate impact for the Iowa defense in 2021, earning Freshman All-America honors from the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) and the Maxwell Football Club.

The conference weekly honor is the first of Van Ness’ career and the second for a Hawkeye this season. Junior punter Tory Taylor was the Special Teams Player of the Week following Iowa’s opening win over South Dakota State.

The Hawkeyes (1-1) host Nevada (2-1) on Saturday (6:30 p.m., BTN) in their final nonconference game.

UNI coach Mark Farley says the Panthers need to get their defense fixed in a hurry. Of to an 0-2 start after a loss at North Dakota the Panthers get ready to host eighth ranked Sacramento State in their home opener.

After giving up 582 yards of rushing in a loss at Air Force the Panthers gave up 304 yards of passing at North Dakota.

Farley says pass defense must make significant progress this week.

Farley says it is small mistakes that are hurting the defense right now.

The offense led by quarterback Theo Day has made significant progress this season.

In two games Day has passed for 620 yards and three touchdowns.
