Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Three plus three equals three. That’s math that works for the Iowa football team. With a dominant 38-14 win against Northern Iowa on Saturday night at Kinnick Stadium, that makes three games, three impressive defensive efforts and three emphatic wins to send the Hawkeyes (3-0) into Big Ten Conference play with an undefeated record for the second straight year. Iowa hosts No. 6 Wisconsin next Saturday. Wisconsin should drop a bit in the rankings, but it’ll still be an electric atmosphere for a night game in Kinnick.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Kyler Murray threw for 348 yards and three touchdowns and fifth-ranked Oklahoma held off Iowa State 37-27 in the Big 12 opener for both teams. Marquise Brown had 191 yards receiving and a TD for the Sooners, who extended the nation’s longest road winning streak to 17 games while avenging a stunning home loss to the Cyclones a year ago.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — B.J. Smith scored on a 26-yard run midway through the fourth quarter and Will Sunderland made an interception in the final 3 minutes, giving Troy the cushion it needed to beat Nebraska 24-19 and denying new Cornhuskers coach Scott Frost his first win. The Huskers have lost their first two games for the first time since 1957 and have dropped six straight home games since beating Rutgers last September. Troy knocked off LSU last year and has beaten power-five opponents two straight years.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Yasiel Puig homered three times and had a career-high seven RBIs, giving him five homers in two games, and the Los Angeles Dodgers routed St. Louis 17- 4 to move into first place in the National League West. Puig hit a solo homer in the fourth off John Gant and three-run drives in the fifth against Mike Mayers and in the seventh versus Luke Weaver. Cody Bellinger hit a three-run homer in the ninth off Luke Weaver and had a career-high six RBIs.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Ian Kennedy pitched six innings to earn his first win since the first week of April, Alex Gordon drove in five runs and the Royals beat the Twins 10-3 on Saturday night. Alcides Escobar added three RBIs while finishing a homer shy of the cycle, and Cam Gallagher ended a 0-for-14 skid with a career-best four hits for Kansas City. The Twins will try to avoid a four-game sweep in the series finale today (Sunday).

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Grant Kraemer passed for 359 yards and six touchdowns before taking a seat midway through the third quarter and Drake rolled to a 52-12 victory over Division II member Missouri S&T in the Bulldogs’ home opener on Saturday.

Kraemer connected with Drew Lauer, who broke several tackles for a 58-yard score on the Bulldogs’ first possession, and Kraemer used just one play to hook up with Mitch McFarlane for a 65-yard score on their second drive for a 14-0 lead. Kraemer found Devin Cates for two short second-quarter scores, sandwiched around Aaron Moya’s 3-yard TD run for the Miners, for a 28-6 halftime lead. Kraemer hit 11 of 12 passes for 269 yards by halftime, and his only incompletion was an interception.

Kraemer had his fifth TD pass two plays into the third quarter on a 50-yard strike to Steven Doran and then found McFarlane for a second time from 12 yards out to make it 42-6 — ending Kraemer’s day. Danny Donley’s 38-yard field goal in the fourth quarter and a 26-yard interception return by Will Warner capped the scoring for Drake (1-1).

Rod Chapman returned a punt 82 yards for a score on the final play of the game for Missouri A&T.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Kyler Murray threw for 348 yards and three touchdowns and No. 5 Oklahoma held off Iowa State 37-27 on Saturday in the Big 12 opener for both teams.
Marquise Brown had 191 yards receiving and a TD for the Sooners (3-0, 1-0 Big 12), who extended the nation’s longest road winning streak to 17 games while avenging a stunning home loss to the Cyclones a year ago.

Iowa State (0-2, 0-1) didn’t make it easy for the Sooners, rallying from a 14-point deficit to make it 34-27 late in the third quarter. But the Sooners killed nearly eight minutes on a drive that ended with a 42-yard field goal from Austin Siebert with 2:51 left, and Parnell Motley’s interception with 1:11 to go sealed.

Backup Zeb Noland threw for a career-high 360 yards and a pair of long touchdown passes to Hakeem Butler for the Cyclones (0-2, 0-1), who were without starting quarterback Kyle Kempt (knee). Iowa State coach Matt Campbell said Kempt will also miss next week’s game.

The Cyclones offense showed some life after a dismal showing last week in a 13-3 loss to Iowa — led by Butler’s 174 yards receiving. But what should be troubling for the rest of the Big 12 is that this was a pretty good defense that Murray and the Sooners carved up. Oklahoma gained 519 yards against the Cyclones, who allowed just 20.9 points a game in 2017.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Rookie Walker Buehler allowed two hits in eight innings, Yasiel Puig homered twice and the Los Angeles Dodgers drew even with the St. Louis Cardinals in the NL wild-card race with a 3-0 victory on Friday night.

Buehler (7-5) pitched beyond the seventh inning for the first time and earned his first victory since Aug. 17. He retired the first 13 batters before Paul DeJong singled to left field. Harrison Bader singled later in the fifth for the Cardinals’ only other hit.

Buehler struck out nine and walked two. In two career starts against St. Louis, he has not allowed a run and has 18 strikeouts in 15 innings.

The Dodgers and Cardinals are tied for the second NL wild-card position, four games behind Milwaukee for the top spot. Los Angeles entered 1½ games behind first-place Colorado in the NL West.

Puig homered in the second off Jack Flaherty (8-7) and connected again in the ninth off Tyler Webb. It was his second multi-homer game of the season.

In the seventh, Cody Bellinger scored on a passed ball by Yadier Molina.

Kenley Jansen hit Yairo Munoz with a pitch to open the ninth but retired the next three batters to finish the two-hitter, earning his 35th save in 39 opportunities.

Flaherty worked six innings, allowing one run on four hits with two walks and eight strikeouts. He has 168 strikeouts this season, the fourth-best total for a rookie in franchise history.

UP NEXT:

The Cardinals send right-hander John Gant (7-5, 3.16 ERA) to the mound Saturday afternoon to make his third career appearance and first start against Los Angeles. Veteran lefty Rich Hill (8-5, 3.88) starts for the Dodgers.

The Harlan Cyclones went to the air to beat the Atlantic Trojans on Friday night 56-14. It was a tight game early with a 7-0 Harlan lead after the first quarter. The Trojans would tie the game at 7-7 and again at 14-14 with just over 4 minutes left in the first half.

That’s when the Cyclones took to the aerial attack. Harlan Quarterback Preston Mulligan threw touchdown passes of 54, 7, and 31 yards to take a 21 point lead into halftime.

The 54 yard strike was on the first play of that drive. The next drive only took 3 plays. And the final score was as time expired in the half. The Cyclones carried that momentum into the second half and they rolled to the win.

Mulligan was 12-19 for 350 yards and 5 touchdowns and 1 interception. The Cyclones outgained the Trojans 579-159 and had a 350-45 advantage through the air.

The Cyclones improved to 3-1 and will travel to ADM to open up district play next week.

Atlantic falls to 2-2 and will open district play at home against Kuemper Catholic.

The Atlantic Trojans football team will take on a Hawkeye Ten foe for the third straight week with a trip to Harlan for their final non-district test tonight. The Trojans (2-1) are coming off an overtime win last week over Clarinda 21-20. The Trojan defense came up with a stop on a Clarinda 2-pt conversion try to seal that win. Atlantic Head Coach Mike McDermott said a win like that boosts the confidence of the team moving forward. This week he knows the Trojans will face a tough test against a much bigger line from Harlan (2-1).

Coach McDermott hopes the Trojans can create some seems for their backs to hit some big plays but he knows it will be important to sustain some drives to help in the time possession game against the Cyclones.

The Cyclones also have a knack for playing tough defense and Harlan Head Coah Curt Bladt has liked the improvement he has seen from his team defensively thus far.

Chase Mullenix has been strong at the quarterback spot for Atlantic throwing for 432 yards and 3 scores while rushing for 306 yards and 4 more touchdowns. Coach Bladt had high praise for Mullenix and thinks they will be facing an improving Atlantic team.

Harlan will counter with a productive quarterback of their own in Preston Mulligan. He has thrown for 748 yards and 11 touchdowns with only one interception given up. Coach McDermott hopes the Trojans can put the Cyclones in some long third down situations to make Mulligan’s job more difficult.

Tune in for a full interview with Coach McDermott on Trojan Preview this afternoon at 4:45pm.

We’ll have coverage of the game tonight on KJAN. Chris Parks and Mike Smith will have the call from Merrill Field with pregame at 6:30pm and kickoff at 7:00pm. You can catch the game on-air, online, on the app, or watch the live video feed on our Facebook page. Stay tuned after the game for all the scores from around the state on the Iowa High School Scoreboard Show from 10:00pm-11:30pm.
