University of Iowa officials have announced tigher security measures for Saturday’s Hawkeye football game in Iowa City. It is the last home game of the season for the undefeated Hawkeye football game. University officials are telling fans to prepare “for a more extensive screening process modeled after the National Football League.”
A news release from the university says the new “clear-bag policy is not tied to any specific threat, but reflects modifications being made at other venues” after the terrorist attacks in Paris.
The U-of-I’s statement reads as follows:
UI Tightens Security Policies ahead of Purdue Home Football Game
In order to make the last home game of the Iowa Football season as safe as possible, the University of Iowa has adjusted its security measures at Kinnick Stadium for the Iowa-Purdue football game on Saturday, November 21.
The UI Athletics Department and UI Police ask that fans arrive early, and come to the game prepared for a more extensive screening process modeled after the National Football League — which places restrictions on purses and handbags.
The clear-bag policy is not tied to any specific threat but reflects modifications being made at other venues in light of recent international events. Fans should expect to see an increased police and security presence before, during, and after the game.
“We ask everyone for their assistance in making our last home game of the season as safe as possible for all of our friends and visitors,” says Dave Visin, interim assistant vice president and director of public safety. “If you see something, say something.”
A bag check area will be available at the Recreation Building northwest of Kinnick Stadium for fans who need a place to store their items during the game. The bag check-in will open at 9 a.m. and close one hour after the game. Gates will open at 9:30 a.m. in order to allow fans to reach their seats by kick off.
The following will be permitted:
• Bags that are clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC and do not exceed 14” X 14”

• Small clutch bags, with or without a handle or strap, that do not exceed 4.5” X 6.5”
• Patrons with infants will be permitted to bring diaper bags
• Binoculars, blankets, seat cushions, one sealed plastic water bottle, food contained in a one-gallon clear plastic bag
*Exceptions will be made for medically necessary items after proper inspection at the gates

Clemson, Alabama, Ohio State and Notre Dame remained at the top of the College Football Playoff selection committee rankings. Iowa stayed at No. 5 and Oklahoma State moved up to No. 6, one spot ahead of Big 12 rival Oklahoma.
Clemson, Alabama and Ohio State seem to have control of their playoff hopes. If those three win out it looks as if they should be in. The highest ranked Pac-12 team was Stanford at No. 11. The Pac-12 will need a lot of help to avoid being left out of the final four the way the Big 12 was last season.
Navy was the highest-ranked Group of Five team and American Athletic Conference rival Houston was No. 19. The Midshipmen and Cougars play each other on Nov. 27.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs have placed rookie tight end James O’Shaughnessy on injured reserve and claimed defensive tackle David King off waivers from the Seattle Seahawks. The Chiefs announced the moves Tuesday. O’Shaughnessy, their fifth-round pick this year, has missed Kansas City’s past two games with a fractured foot. He caught six passes for 87 yards during his rookie season.
The Chiefs have used Demetrius Harris and Brian Parker in his place during wins over Detroit and Denver. They will continue to share duties alongside starting tight end Travis Kelce. King was a seventh-round pick of the Philadelphia Eagles in 2013. He’s played in seven games over the past two seasons with Seattle.
CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) — Matt Bohannon and Paul Jesperson scored 15 points apiece and Jeremy Morgan and Wes Washpun had 14 each, leading Northern Iowa to a 70-60 victory over Stephen F. Austin on Tuesday.
