Youngstown St. slogs Northern Iowa in 14-10 comeback win

Sports

October 16th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (AP) — Martin Ruiz rushed for a 1-yard touchdown with 28 seconds left, capping a 10-point fourth-quarter comeback and lifting Youngstown State to a 14-10 win over Northern Iowa on Saturday night.

Trailing 10-7 in the fourth quarter, Youngstown State (5-1, 3-0 Missouri Valley) forced a three-and-out late and took possession at its 47-yard line with 3:37 left to play. The Penguins ran the ball on 10 consecutive plays to pay dirt — the last four by Ruiz, including the game-winner.

A 22-play, 86-yard drive that consumed 11:40 off the clock and featured 20 runs put Youngstown State on the scoreboard earlier in the quarter. It was capped by Tevin McCaster’s 1-yard plunge.

Northern Iowa (2-4, 1-2) was held to 173 total yards. The Panthers took a 3-0 lead on Austin Errthum’s 27-yard field goal midway through the second quarter. Three plays later, Duncan Ferch intercepted and returned Ricky Davis’ pass 34 yards, pushing the lead to 10.

Buechele’s TD passes send Texas over Iowa State 27-6

Sports

October 16th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Shane Buechele passed for 296 yards and two touchdowns and Texas got coach Charlie Strong a desperately-needed win, snapping a three-game losing streak with a win over Iowa State 27-6 Saturday night. Buechele threw scoring strikes of 37 yards to Jerrod Heard and 75 yards and Devin Duvernay in the third quarter as the Longhorns’ high-powered offense overcame a sluggish start.

Texas (3-3, 1-2 Big 12) hadn’t played at home in a month and the losing streak fueled intense speculation that Strong’s job is on the line in his third season. He has two seasons left on a five-year contract that pays him more than $5 million per season. The win also snapped a 14-game losing streak when Texas trailed at halftime.

Texas played its best defensive game of the season. Strong took over defensive play-calling two weeks ago and the Longhorns responded with eight sacks against Iowa State, containing a Cyclones offense that was averaging 39 points over the previous three games. Joel Lanning passed for 140 yards for Iowa State (1-6, 0-4).

The Cyclones are off next week, then host Kansas State on Oct. 29th.

October 16th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

Here is the latest Iowa news from The Associated Press at 3:40 a.m. CDT

OSAGE, Iowa (AP) — A man yelled obscenities at his victim and police after being convicted of first-degree kidnapping for the beating and imprisonment of a woman. The Mason City Globe Gazette reports that deputies escorted 23-year-old Nicholas Lenz out of the Mitchell County courtroom Friday after he began yelling. He faces a mandatory term of life in prison for the kidnapping count as well as prison time for causing serious injury.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — By the end of November, Sioux City residents will no longer be able to recycle glass as part of the city’s curbside recycling program. The Sioux City Journal reports that the change comes after the company that processes Sioux City’s recyclables announced its decision to phase glass out of its facility, citing falling commodity prices and safety concerns. The city will instead begin collecting glass recycling at a handful of drop-off locations around the city in early December.

ALVORD, Iowa (AP) — Officials in the northwestern corner of Iowa say about 40 head of cattle have died after eating from a feed wagon that contained a ground-up battery. Sioux City television station KTIV reports that the Lyon County Sheriff’s department is investigating the incident at the Alvord, Iowa farm. Farmer Joel Moser says around 100 head of cattle have been affected by the tainted feed.

FLOYD, Iowa (AP) — Two Charles City residents have died in a crash near the northeastern Iowa town of Floyd. The Mason City Globe Gazette reports that the crash happened Friday afternoon on the Avenue of the Saints between Rudd and Floyd. The Iowa State Patrol says 75-year-old Marilyn Wulff and a passenger in her car, 14-year-old Jaden Wulff, where killed.
