(Learfield Sports) — Iowa State coach Matt Campbell is not ready to name a starting middle linebacker for Saturday’s season opener against South Dakota State. Mike Rose, O’Rien Vance and Bobby McMillen have been competing for the spot vacated by Joel Lanning. Campbell expects all three to play in the opener. Campbell says practice this week will determine which one starts Saturday’s game.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Two days after clarity came to Nebraska’s quarterback situation, things got complicated again. True freshman Adrian Martinez will be the starter when the Cornhuskers begin the Scott Frost era against Akron at home on Saturday night. Tristan Gebbia is the man he beat out for the job. Gebbia wasn’t at practice Monday and the university registrar said he was no longer enrolled. That would leave sophomore walk-on Andrew Bunch as the top backup

LISBON, Iowa (AP) — A brother of slain Iowa college student Mollie Tibbetts played through his grief and led his high school football team to victory in the season opener. The Des Moines Register reports that Scott Tibbetts threw for two touchdowns and ran for another as Brooklyn-Guernsey-Malcom High School beat Lisbon High 35-24 on Friday. The win came less than 48 hours before a memorial service Sunday for his 20-year-old sister. A suspect led investigators to her body in a cornfield on Tuesday.

The win came less than 48 hours before a memorial service Sunday for his 20-year-old sister. Lisbon officials complied with their opponents’ wishes that there be no displays or tributes regarding Mollie Tibbetts. The visitors wore jerseys with a small honor: teal wings with the initials “MT” in a heart. The wings will remain there all season. Scott Tibbetts declined to comment after the game.

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

DENVER (AP) — Matt Carpenter tied a St. Louis record with four doubles, pitcher Austin Gomber had a two-run infield single in a six-run first inning and the Cardinals routed the Colorado Rockies 12-3. Carpenter matched a franchise mark that Joe “Ducky” Medwick set on Aug. 4, 1937.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Jason Kipnis hit an inside-the-park homer and finished with four RBIs, Edwin Encarnacion added a two-run shot and Cleveland beat Kansas City 12-5. Shane Bieber only went 5 1/3 innings, but he was good enough to help the Indians snap a four-game skid. The Royals got homers from Whit Merrifield, Salvador Perez and Lucas Duda.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — True freshman Adrian Martinez has been named Nebraska’s starting quarterback for the opener against Akron. Martinez beat out redshirt freshman Tristan Gebbia in a close competition. He was the prize of Scott Frost’s first recruiting class at Nebraska, signing with the Cornhuskers after de-committing from Tennessee. The 6-foot-2, 220-pounder from Fresno, California, will be the first true freshman in program history to start an opener at quarterback.

MADISON, Ill. (AP) — Scott Dixon hasn’t done anything wrong the past three IndyCar races, finishing in the top five in each of them. But that hasn’t prevented his lead in the IndyCar championship chase from shrinking from 62 to 26 points over fast-finishing Alexander Rossi, or from allowing Indy 500 winner Will Power to sneak into contention.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Robert Streb won the Web.com Tour Finals-opening Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship to regain full PGA Tour status, beating Peter Malnati with a par on the first hole of a playoff.
