IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) – Instead of the new coach many Iowa fans were hoping for, the Hawkeyes has apparently gotten a new Kirk Ferentz. Ferentz, the nation’s second-longest tenured coach, has spent the last eight months overhauling his underperforming program.
Ferentz has made a ton of changes this offseason, from introducing alternate uniforms to switching practice times and updating his recruiting philosophy. The Hawkeyes are hoping they’ll pay off with wins, starting Saturday against Illinois State in the season opener.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Tight end Travis Kelce will miss the Chiefs’ preseason finale Thursday night against St. Louis after spraining his ankle in practice earlier this week. Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Tuesday it was a slight sprain and Kelce would have been able to play had it been the regular season. But with most of the starters getting the night off — if not all of them — it only made sense to keep Kelce out of the game.
Reid also said tight end Demetrius Harris could see time against the Rams. He returned to practice this week after a pair of surgeries to repair a fractured foot. Harris’s return was complicated by a staph infection that developed during his recovery.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Brandon Moss hit a three-run walk-off home run with two outs in the ninth, giving the St. Louis Cardinals an 8-5 win over the Washington Nationals on Tuesday night. The NL Central-leading Cardinals have won nine of 10 and lead the division by six games. They’ve won nine in a row over Washington, coming from behind the last two nights.
Moss, who struck out with the bases loaded to end the third, homered off Casey Janssen (1-4) to straightaway center on a 1-0 count. Janssen took the loss on Monday, allowing four runs in two-thirds of an inning. Mitch Harris (2-1) worked the last two innings, allowing two hits. Ryan Zimmerman homered and Anthony Rendon had a two-run double in a four-run third for Washington.
***********
Mark Reynolds of the St. Louis Cardinals was taken out for a pinch-hitter two innings after being hit by a pitch on the right wrist in the third inning against the Washington Nationals on Tuesday night. Reynolds was plunked by Joe Ross with the bases loaded. He stayed in the game until the fifth when Tommy Pham pinch-hit and grounded out. The team said X-rays were negative, calling the injury a contusion, and that Reynolds was day to day.
The Iowa Hawkeyes open the new season with a new quarterback when the host Illinois State on Saturday in Kinnick Stadium. It will be their first game since junior C.J. Beathard was given the keys to the offense just days after a Taxslayer Bowl loss to Tennessee. Saturday’s game will be Beathard’s second start under center. He replaced an injured Jake Rudock in last year’s 24-10 win at Purdue.
Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz says Beathard will get better as he gains experience. Iowa is familiar with Illinois State quarterback Tre Roberson. As a freshman at Indiana back in 2011 Roberson passed for 197 yards and rushed for 84 in a 45-24 Hoosier loss in Kinnick Stadium.
Illinois State lost to North Dakota State in last year’s FCS title game. The Hawkeyes have two new tackles on offense and senior center Austin Blythe becomes the leader of the offensive line. LeSun Daniels and Jordan Canzeri give the Hawkeyes a one-two bunch at running back that should give the ground game a boost.
Beathard says the Hawkeyes are getting excited as game day approaches. Not only will Beathard’s family be at the game but his uncle, Kurth Beathard, is the offensive coordinator for Illinois State. Beathard says the Hawkeyes are anxious to erase the memories of last season’s three game skid to end the season.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa wide receiver Tevaun Smith made waves this offseason by catching 41 passes in 60 seconds with just one hand for a video that’s been viewed over 200,000 times on YouTube. Hardly anyone outside of Iowa City has seen much from of the rest of the Hawkeyes receivers.
One of Iowa’s biggest question marks is who besides Smith is going to emerge from an inexperienced group of wideouts. Senior Jacob Hillyer and junior Matt VandeBerg, the two starters listed alongside Smith for Saturday’s opener against Illinois State, combined for just 25 receptions last season. Junior Riley McCarron, the first guy off the bench, didn’t catch a pass last year.
