No. 5 Michigan St edges No. 4 Iowa 16-13 for Big Ten title

December 5th, 2015 by admin

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — L.J. Scott kept lunging forward, stretching the ball over the goal line for a touchdown with 27 seconds and No. 5 Michigan State all but locked up a spot in the College Football Playoff, edging No. 4 Iowa 16-13 Saturday in the Big Ten championship game.

Connor Cook led the Spartans (12-1) on a 22-play drive that set up Scott’s 1-yard run. A half-dozen Iowa defenders tried to stop Scott, but he wouldn’t be denied.

Iowa (12-1) lost for the first time this season — and just barely.

Five times in the final 2 minutes, the Spartans snapped the ball from the Iowa 5-yard line or closer. Finally, after getting bottled up by three defenders on third-and-goal from 1, Scott broke free just long enough to get the ball across the goal line for Michigan State’s only TD.

The 82-yard march wiped out Iowa’s 13-9 lead, which it got on an 85-yard pass from C.J. Beathard to Tevaun Smith.

Crash in Council Bluffs late Friday night

News

December 5th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

An accident late Friday night in Council Bluffs resulted in two people hurt and the driver of the vehicle arrested for OWI. Bluffs Police said 19-year old Jacob Willey was driving a black 2004 Dodge Ram pickup southbound on Valley View Drive at around 11:54-p.m., when the truck went onto the southbound shoulder. Willey overcorrected, causing the vehicle to leave the northbound shoulder of Valley View. The truck then slid into the ditch and overturned several times before coming to rest.

Neither Willey, nor his passengers, 20-year old’s Ryan D. Higginbotham and Megan E. Wolff, were wearing seat belts. All of the crash victims are from Council Bluffs. Wolff reported to authorities that she was ejected during the crash. She suffered broken bones and abrasions. Higginbotham also suffered from abrasions. Both were transported to UNMC for treatment.

None of the injuries are considered life threatening. Willey was arrested and processed for Operating While Intoxicated First Offense and Failure to Maintain Control of a Motor Vehicle. He was turned over to Pottawattamie County Corrections staff. Authorities remind you…”Don’t drink and drive, designate a driver.”
