A man from Guthrie County died Friday evening during a rollover accident in Fremont County. The Iowa State Patrol says they believe 54-year old Daniel Sheeder of Guthrie Center, had a medical issue before the pickup truck he was driving left the road as it was traveling east on Wausbonsie Avenue, at around 6-p.m.

The 2002 Ford F-150 entered the south ditch, later recrossed the road and entered the north ditch, where it hit a utility pole and rolled twice. The accident happened just east of Bartlett. Authorities say Sheeder was wearing his seat belt.  Sheeder, the father-in-law to Fremont-Mills High School football coach Jeremy Christiansen was reportedly on his way to the Fremont-Mills vs Southwest Valley football game at the time of the crash.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Iowa’s Jake Rudock once quarterbacked his Florida high school team in a game at Ohio Stadium. Saturday’s return to the Horseshoe figures to have a considerably different atmosphere. Rudock will lead the Hawkeyes (4-2, 1-1 Big Ten) against No. 4 Ohio State (6-0, 2-0), riding an 18-game winning streak, before more than 105,000 partisan fans.

Rudock, who led Fort Lauderdale’s St. Thomas Aquinas to a lopsided victory over Upper Arlington before a small crowd in the cavernous stadium, is now in charge of a run-first offense led by running back Mark Weisman. Iowa’s staunch defense gives up just 89 yards on the ground per game.

Meanwhile, the Buckeyes are trying hard to concentrate on the Hawkeyes as they iron out a few problem areas heading into the stretch run.
