WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — Spencer Evans made a 25-yard field goal with 8 seconds left Saturday to give Purdue a 38-36 upset over No. 19 Iowa. David Blough threw three touchdown passes to Terry Wright and topped the 300-yard mark for the fifth time this season as the Boilermakers moved within a game of the Big Ten West’s division lead. The Hawkeyes lost their second straight road game when their vaunted defense couldn’t come up with one final stop.
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Brock Purdy threw for 263 yards and three touchdowns, two of them big-play strikes to Hakeem Butler, and Iowa State rolled to a 27-3 victory over Kansas.

URBANDALE, Iowa (AP) — A central Iowa couple face charges after police say they left their 9-month-old baby home alone for hours to go to a bar. Television station KCCI reports that police arrested 22-year-old Bryan Austin McCrea Bozarth and 20-year-old Ashley Lee Routh King on Friday. Each has been charged with child endangerment, and King also faces an underage drinking charge.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — A lawsuit has been filed seeking to represent hundreds of victims of a former Iowa youth basketball coach now facing 15 to 180 years in prison for sexually exploiting them. The lawsuit was filed Friday by law firm Grefe & Sidney and names as defendants former Iowa Barnstormers coach Greg Stephen, the Barnstormers organization and its supervising organization, the Amateur Athletic Union. Stephen pleaded guilty last month to sexual exploitation and child porn charges and is awaiting sentencing.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Officials in Iowa City are reminding residents to compost their fall pumpkins and leftover Halloween jack-o-lanterns instead of trashing them. To do this, residents are asked to put pumpkins with yard waste collection, which is composted. Residents who do not receive curbside services can take pumpkins at no cost to the City’s compost facility located at the Iowa City Landfill and Recycling Center.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Nebraskans and Iowans are being reminded to set their clocks back an hour before going to bed Saturday. Standard time returns this weekend at 2 a.m. Sunday. The change means most Americans will get an extra hour of rest, but those working overnight shifts might toil an hour longer. It also means some will forget to change their clocks, and show up early for church or other events on Sunday.
CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) — Austin Errthum kicked four consecutive first-half field goals, the longest from 43-yards out, to stake Northern Iowa to a 19-3 halftime lead and spark the Panthers to a 26-16 win over Illinois State in a Missouri Valley Conference showdown Saturday.
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — Spencer Evans made a 25-yard field goal with 8 seconds left Saturday, giving Purdue a 38-36 upset over No. 19 Iowa and putting the Boilermakers back in the Big Ten’s West Division title hunt. David Blough threw three touchdown passes to Terry Wright and topped the 300-yard mark for the fifth time this season.
The Boilermakers (5-4, 4-2 Big Ten) have won five of their last six and beat their third ranked team this season — the first time they’ve achieved that feat since 2003 — to move within one game of division leader Northwestern.
The Hawkeyes (6-3, 3-3) lost their second straight road game despite Nate Stanley’s big day. The junior quarterback threw for 275 yards with one TD and ran for another but the conference’s No. 2 scoring defense allowed a season-high point total.
After watching their playoff aspirations vanish with last week’s loss at Penn State, the Hawkeyes’ Big Ten title hopes now likely faded away, too. Iowa probably will fall out of the Top 25 after losing in back-to-back weeks by a total of eight points.
Iowa hosts division-leading Northwestern next weekend.

He said her son, Jesse decided to raise money and explore other options for residing her home, in Grant. Jesse got ahold of Landon, who worked to raise funds and other donations. They were able to cover all the expenses except for a final $1,000, but in the end, that was also taken care of.
The dozen or so area carpenters and family members showed up Saturday while Becky was working at the Wal-Mart Store, in Atlantic. They worked through pouring, cold rain to give the home an exterior facelift.
Included among the crew was: Brian Turner, Tanner Preston, Landon Preston and his wife Megan (& children Averi and Mason Jefferson), with Preston Carpentry; Matt Leighton, with Matt Leighton Carpentry, in Griswold; Austin Lorenz; Ryan Weaver; Jeb Peck; Bob Peck; Cameron Thompson (& his little brother Christian Thompson); John Perdue and Matt Jones.

In addition to all the volunteer time, labor and donated materials, the Tiger Mart in Griswold stopped-by at around 12:15-p.m. and served up free pizza for the crew. When she arrived home from work late Saturday evening, Becky Westover was in a bit of shock, but once that wore -off, and she learned everything was donated, Megan Preston said Becky was tearful, and gave everyone hugs.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Anthony Lawrence passed for 227 yards and a touchdown and added two short TD runs to propel San Diego to a 27-10 victory over Drake in Pioneer Football League play on Saturday.
San Diego has now won a FCS-best 21 straight home games. The Toreros also have a 27-game win streak in PFL play and a 36-game win streak in conference home games. Lawrence ran it in from 2 yards out and scored on a 1-yard plunge to give the Toreros (7-2, 6-0) a 13-0 first-quarter lead. The Bulldogs (4-3, 3-2) got on the scoreboard when Jeran Proctor picked off Lawrence and raced 27 yards for a touchdown to make it 13-7. Terrence Smith scored on a 5-yard run late in the second quarter to push San Diego’s advantage to 20-7 at the half.
Lawrence capped the scoring for the Toreros with a 42-yard scoring strike to Michael Bandy just 3 minutes into the third quarter. Bandy, who leads the nation in receiving yards, finished with five catches for 70 yards. Drake managed only 40 yards rushing on 23 carries. Grant Kraemer completed just 16 of 47 passes for 214 yards with two picks. The Bulldogs became the first PFL team to hold San Diego under 36 points this season.
URBANDALE, Iowa (AP) — A central Iowa couple face charges after police say they left their 9-month-old baby home alone to go to a bar. Television station KCCI reports that police arrested 22-year-old Bryan Austin McCrea Bozarth and 20-year-old Ashley Lee Routh King on Friday. Police say officers were sent to the couple’s Urbandale home around midnight Thursday for a welfare check after someone reported the baby home alone. Officers say they found the baby in a crib, and no one else was home.
Police believe the baby was left alone about three hours. Police say both McCrea and King were drunk when officers questioned them. Each has been charged with child endangerment, and King also faces an underage drinking charge. The baby, who was unharmed, was placed with a family friend.
Red Oak Police, Saturday, arrested a Shenandoah woman on a warrant for Simple Assault. 21-year old Alexis Cheyenne Straw was taken into custody at around 2:40-p.m. in the 1000 block of E. Coolbaugh Street. She was brought to the Montgomery County Jail and held on a $300 bond.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — A lawsuit seeking class-action status has been filed on behalf of hundreds of victims of a former Iowa youth basketball coach now facing 15 to 180 years in prison for sexually exploiting them. The lawsuit, which was filed Friday in state court by law firm Grefe & Sidney on behalf of an unnamed victim with the pseudonym John Doe, names former Iowa Barnstormers coach Greg Stephen, the Barnstormers organization and its supervising organization, the Amateur Athletic Union, as defendants.
It accuses Stephen of intruding on the privacy of more than 400 boys by secretly or deceptively recording them undressing, showering and performing sexually explicit acts. It also accuses the sports organizations of negligence by employing Stephen.
Stephen pleaded guilty last month to sexually exploiting minors and possessing and transporting child pornography. As part of the plea, he acknowledged that he secretly recorded players showering, posed as a girl on social media to trick boys into sending him sexually explicit images, and recorded himself fondling some boys while they slept. He hasn’t been sentenced yet.
Stephen’s arrest in March shocked the basketball community in Iowa, where he for years was a coach and co-director of the Adidas-sponsored traveling program for the state’s top youth players. The case has played out amid heightened awareness of sexual abuse in sports triggered by the arrest of disgraced gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar, who is serving decades in prison after hundreds of women and girls accused him of sexually assaulting them under the guise of medical treatment.
