Nebraska fired head coach Scott Frost, Sunday, one day after a humiliating 45-42 loss to Georgia Southern in which the Husker defense gave up 642 yards.

That’s Husker athletic director Trev Alberts who talked about why he made the move now.

The Huskers are 1-2 in Frost’s fifth season as head coach.

The question at Iowa is what happens next to an offense that is getting worse? Through two games, the Hawkeyes are averaging less than three yards per play and have scored only one touchdown. The offense also has committed five turnovers in two games and coach Kirk Ferentz says they will evaluate the situation at quarterback where Spencer Petras has been ineffective

Not only has Petras struggled but the Hawkeyes are void of weapons and have played the first two games with one scholarship receiver.

Ferentz says improved health at receiver will be a plus for the offense.

The Cy-Hawk Trophy resides in Ames after Iowa State claimed a mistake filled 10-7 victory over Iowa in Kinnick Stadium. The Cyclones won despite three turnovers and two blocked punts.

That’s ISU coach Matt Campbell. The Cyclones snapped the Hawkeyes six game winning streak in the series.

The game turned in the third quarter when Iowa fullback Monte Pottebaum fumbled inside the one as Iowa appeared ready to grab a commanding 14-3 lead. The Cyclones responded with a 99-yard scoring drive to take the lead for good.

The Cyclones host Ohio on Saturday.

Patrick Mahomes threw for 360 yards and five touchdowns and the Kansas City Chiefs rolled to an opening 44-21 win over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. The Chiefs jumped on top early with three touchdown passes from Mahomes on the first three drives for the Chiefs. The Chiefs led 23-7 by halftime and kept playing well in the 2nd.

The Chiefs outgained Arizona 488 to 282 yards. Mahomes finished 30 of 39 passing and he hit tight end Travis Kelce for 8 of those passes for 121 yards and the first touchdown.

Kansas City gets a season opening win for the seventh straight season, the longest active streak in the NFL and sixth longest in history. Kicker Harrison Butker injured his ankle during the game and safety Justin Reid had to kick a couple of kickoffs and extra points going 1 for 2.

Iowa State @ Iowa: Iowa State used a 21-play, 99 yard drive that spanned the end of the third quarter into the fourth quarter to beat Iowa 10-7 at Kinnick Stadium. Hunter Dekkers hit Xavier Hutchinson for an 8-yard touchdown pass to cap off the drive that took 11:49 off the game clock. Iowa State survived three turnovers and two blocked punts to end the Hawks 6-game win streak in the series. Aaron Blom did have a chance to tie the game on the last play after a couple of penalties gave Iowa a shot at a 48-yard field goal attempt for Iowa but it sailed wide left.

UNI @ North Dakota: The UNI Panthers fell to 0-2 on the season with a 29-27 loss at North Dakota. The Fighting Hawks outscored the Panthers 22-17 in the second half to edge out the win. UND quarterback Tommy Schuster was 20-23 passing for 275 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 1 interception. UNI’s Theo Day was 20-27 passing for 334 yards, 1 touchdown, and 1 interception.

Drake vs. Missouri S&T: The Drake Bulldogs lost in overtime at home to Missouri S&T 17-14. The Miners got a field goal in the extra session to win it. Drake’s Ian Corwin went just 15-40 passing for 177 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 1 intereption.

It wasn’t always pretty and a lot of mistakes were made by both teams but Atlantic notched their first win of the season with a 26-0 shutout at Shenandoah.

Both teams started slow offensively with the first 9 possessions of the game ending in a punt or turnover. Atlantic turned the fourth turnover of the game into points. With 7:41 left in the first half Jarrett Armstrong knocked the ball right out of Shenandoah quarterback Cole Scamman’s hand, scooped it up and hauled it in from 11 yards out. Atlantic then forced a turnover on downs for the Mustangs but gave the ball back on an interception from Jade Spangler. The Trojans grabbed it right back though on the next play with a Jackson McLaren pick. Two plays later Dante Hedrington plunged in from three yards out to put Atlantic up 13-0 at half.

The Trojans scored on the fourth possession of the second half when Caden Andersen hit Colton Rasmussen for a 12 yard pass on a slant route. The Trojans forced another turnover on downs the next Mustang drive and Isaac Hansen took over on the ground. Hansen capped off that 7 play drive with a 6 yard touchdown on a pitch around left end. That would finish the scoring.

Atlantic improves to 1-2 on the season and will head back home next week to take on Ballard.

Shenandoah suffers their first loss, moving to 2-1 on the year. The Mustangs will
