The Iowa Hawkeyes forced seven Maryland turnovers and raced away for a 51-14 victory over the Terrapins on Friday night. The Iowa defense picked off five of Taulia Tagovailoa’s passes, recovered an early fumble deep in Maryland territory, and grabbed another pick near the end of the game.

Iowa outscored the Terrapins 31-0 in the second quarter to run away with the win. Spencer Petras threw three touchdown passes and ran for two more. The Iowa defense has now racked up 12 interceptions on the season, no other Big Ten team has more than 5. A big momentum shift in the game came when Maryland receiver Dontay Demus went down with a leg injury and fumbled on a kickoff return. He injured his knee during the play and had to leave on a cart. Iowa capitalized on that turnover and push the lead to 17-7 and never looked back.

Iowa Quarterback Spencer Petras finished the game 21-30 for 259 yards and three touchdowns. He also ran for two scores in the contest as Iowa improved to 5-0 on the season.

Next up the Hawkeyes prepare for a big showdown with Penn State at Kinnick Stadium on October 9th. That kickoff has been set for 3:00 p.m. and we’ll have coverage on the Hawkeye Radio Network starting at 1:00 p.m. next Saturday.

The Harlan Cyclones showed why they are every bit the No. 1 ranked team in Class 3A with a 55-7 victory over Atlantic at the Trojan Bowl on Friday night. The Cyclones didn’t waste any time grabbing an early lead. They started out by forcing an Atlantic punt on the first possession and then struck on their first offensive play. Teagon Kasperbauer threw a 57-yard strike down the seam to Aiden Hall for the first score.

The Cyclones would add three more touchdowns in the first quarter while only running four offensive plays. Kasperbauer hooked up with Connor Frame for a 23 yard touchdown and Hall ran one in from 35 yards out. Joey Moser would add to the scoring with a 50-yard punt return touchdown to give the Cyclones a 28-0 lead by the end of the first. The Cyclones would grab three more scores in the second to push the lead to 49-0 by half. The running clock rule melted away the second half quickly.

Kasperbauer finished 4 of 4 passing for 162 yards and three touchdowns. William Arkfeld played the second half and went 4-8 for 105 yards and a score. Hall led the charge on the ground with 81 yards and two scores to go along with the 57 yard receiving TD.

Atlantic got their lone score in the final period as Caden Andersen hooked up with Gannon O’Hara for a 73 yard touchdown pass. Andersen finished 4-11 for 98 yards and the one score. The Cyclones outgained the Trojans 416-148 on the night.

Harlan improves to 6-0 overall and 2-0 in Class 3A District 6. Next up for the Cyclones is a trip to ADM. Atlantic falls to 1-5 on the season overall and 0-2 in the district. The Trojans now prep for a Homecoming contest against Knoxville next week.

ST. LOUIS, MO. – October 1, 2021 – The St. Louis Cardinals announced today that they have agreed to terms with pitcher Adam Wainwright on a one-year contract for the upcoming 2022 season. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Wainwright, 40, will be entering his 18th season with the Cardinals in 2022, matching Jesse Haines (18 years, 1920-37) for the most years as a pitcher in a Redbirds uniform.

“Adam has built a legacy that has placed him among the greatest players in Cardinals franchise history,” stated Cardinals Chairman Bill DeWitt, Jr.  “Beginning with his memorable playoff and World Series clinching outs in 2006, and to this day, still leading our staff as one of the game’s top pitchers, Adam has represented the Cardinals and St. Louis with great pride.”

Wainwright ranks 3rd all-time among Cardinals in wins (184), 2nd in strikeouts (2,004) and 6th in innings pitched (2,375.2). The two-time World Series Champion (2006 & 2011) and three-time All-Star (2010, 2013, 2014) ranks 6th among active pitchers in wins, 8th in strikeouts, and 7th in ERA (3.35), despite missing significant time due to injury in 2011, 2015 and 2018.

“It’s been no secret that once Adam and his family announced that he was ready to play next season, that we were ready to put a deal together,” stated Cardinals’ President of Baseball Operations John Mozeliak.  “Adam has been a constant for the Cardinals for nearly two decades, and he continues to perform at an elite level that is historic in nature.  We couldn’t be more pleased to announce that Adam will continue his distinguished Cardinals career into the 2022 season.”

Wainwright is pacing St. Louis in wins (17), games started (32), strikeouts (174), and innings pitched (206.1) this season, while ranking among N.L. leaders in wins (2nd), innings pitched (2nd), ERA (3.05, 10th), complete games (3, T1st), quality starts (22, 3rd), average against (.220, 9th), WHIP (1.06, 9th) and win percentage (.708, 5th). He has thrown 7.0 or more innings in 16 starts this season, 2nd most in the majors.

“Uncle Charlie”, who celebrated his 40th birthday in late August, is ranked among Cardinals leaders in pitching during their age 39 or older season in starts (32), quality starts (22) and strikeouts (174),   He is second only to Peter Alexander (21 in 1927) in wins among Cardinals pitchers age 39 and older.

A former Rawlings Gold Glove (2009 & 2013) and National League Silver Slugger (2017) award winner, Wainwright owns a career mark of 184-105 with a 3.35 ERA in 426 games (338 starts) covering 2,375.2 innings pitched.  He is the Cardinals all-time leader in postseason games pitched (28) and strikeouts (118) and was on the mound for the Cardinals World Series and National League Championship Series clinching wins in 2006.

Adam and Yadier Molina, who the Cardinals have also signed for the 2022 season, rank 4th all-time in games started by battery mates with 304, just 20 games back of the all-time leaders Mickey Lolich and Bill Freehan (324).

Adam was the 2020 recipient of the prestigious Roberto Clemente Award, recognizing him for his many contributions both on and off the field.

It is back to the Big Ten for the fifth ranked Iowa Hawkeyes Friday night as they visit Maryland in a battle of 4-0 teams. Led by quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa (Tau-lee-uh Tongue-uh-vai-LO-uh) the Terps’ offense is averaging better than 37 points per game and Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz says Tagovailoa’s mobility is also a concern.

Ferentz says controlling the tempo of the game is important but that is not always possible.

Ferentz says the Hawkeyes’ veteran secondary will be challenged

Iowa trailed for the first time in the second half against Colorado State and Ferentz says his team will need to handle that kind of adversity the remainder of the season.

We’ll have coverage of the game on the Hawkeye Radio Network tonight. Pregame is at 5:00 p.m. with kickoff at 7:00 p.m.
