Iowa faces top FCS team in ND State

Sports

September 14th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

UNDATED (AP) — The Iowa Hawkeyes are facing an FCS team this weekend. So they can relax with another tuneup, right? Not so fast. North Dakota State is coming to town on Saturday. The Bison have won five straight national championships and are 8-3 in their last 11 games when they step up in weight class to face an FBS opponent. And they are not afraid.

“My experience is the biggest difference is just depth and overall numbers,” coach Kirk Ferentz said. “But the guys they put out there are just tremendous players. They’ve got a lot of guys that look like guys we play with that may have gotten overlooked a little bit in recruiting.”

No. 13 Iowa finds potent RB duo in Daniels, Wadley

Sports

September 14th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — No. 13 Iowa lost one of the Big Ten’s best running backs in Jordan Canzeri but so far hasn’t missed a beat early in the football season. Iowa’s dominance on the ground, which was crucial in its first 12-0 regular season in 2015, has only gotten stronger through the first two weeks on 2016.

The decision to split carries between senior LeShun Daniels Jr. and junior Akrum Wadley has been a brilliant one so far. Daniels has racked up 195 yards and three touchdowns on just 25 carries, and Wadley has 170 yards — with a Big Ten-best 8.1 per carry — and three TDs as well.

Iowa, 10th nationally with 6.3 yards per run, will likely look to lead with its rushing attack yet again when it wraps up non-conference play Saturday against North Dakota State (2-0), which has won the last five FCS championships.

Moss, Diaz hit home runs, Cardinals stall Cubs with 4-2 win

Sports

September 14th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Brandon Moss broke out of a lengthy slump with a tiebreaking home run and Aledmys Diaz connected in his return to the starting lineup, leading the St. Louis Cardinals over the Chicago Cubs 4-2 Tuesday night.

The Cardinals ensured that the runaway Cubs won’t clinch the NL Central at Busch Stadium. Chicago’s magic number is three, and the series in St. Louis wraps up Wednesday. St. Louis remained a half-game behind the New York Mets for the second wild-card spot.

Moss entered the game mired in a 1-for-41 skid. He hit a two-run homer in the sixth off Jason Hammel (14-9). Dexter Fowler led off the game with a home run against Jaime Garcia. Alex Reyes (2-1) won with 4 1-3 innings of scoreless relief. Kevin Siegrist got his second save.

Cyclones faced with quarterback controversy after 0-2 start

Sports

September 13th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

AMES, Iowa (AP) — It was apparent after Iowa State’s opener that the Cyclones will struggle to run the ball this season. The Cyclones can’t seem to throw it much either, an issue that has plunged the program into a quarterback controversy just two games into coach Matt Campbell’s first season.

Quarterback Joel Lanning’s starting job may be in jeopardy after he gave way to sophomore Jacob Park in last week’s 42-3 loss to No. 13 Iowa. Iowa State is 127th out of 128 FBS teams with just 11.5 points per game, and visits TCU (1-1) on Saturday as a 23.5-point underdog hoping to avoid its first 0-3 start since 1997.
