HOPKINS, Mo.

ST. LOUIS (AP) – A red sea of fans jam downtown St. Louis, Sunday, to honor the world champion Cardinals and send a clear message to Albert Pujols: Please stay. An official crowd estimate was not immediately available for the parade down the streets of St. Louis and the celebration at Busch Stadium, but city officials expected several hundred thousand. The crowd was so large that people were parking more than two miles from the parade route. Pujols drew a long standing ovation at the stadium. When asked if he’d like to be back for another celebration next season, he smiled sheepishly and said, “Hey, why not?” Pujols is a free agent. The Cardinals hope to keep him but it isn’t clear if they’ll be able to do so.

LUBBOCK, Texas — Redshirt freshman Jared Barnett threw for a touchdown and ran for another, and Iowa State shocked No. 19 Texas Tech 41-7 on Saturday night, a week after the Red Raiders won at Oklahoma.
Making his first start, Barnett’s mobility caused the Red Raiders defense fits. He rushed for 92 yards on 19 carries and completed 14 of 26 passes for 144 yards. His touchdowns were career firsts.
It was the largest margin of victory over a ranked team for Iowa State since the Cyclones beat No. 20 Nebraska in Ames by 22 points (36-14) in 2002.
Seth Doege completed 16 of 32 passes for a season-low 171 yards for the Red Raiders (5-3, 2-3). He threw two interceptions, lost a fumble and scored the Red Raiders lone score on an 8-yard touchdown run.
Iowa State (1-4, 4-4) rolled up 368 rushing yards against Texas Tech’s 105th-ranked rushing defense.
POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. — Mike Piatkowski threw for two touchdowns, and Drake’s defense held off Marist 23-13 on Saturday.
Piatkowski started the scoring on a 21-yard pass to Drew Blackmon, and then added a 22-yarder to Joey Orlando for a 14-0 lead midway through the second quarter.
The Bulldogs (7-2, 5-1 Pioneer League) went up 17-0 after a 32-yard field goal by Billy Janssen. Drake’s defense did the rest, holding the Red Foxes (3-6, 2-4) to 255 yards of total offense.
The Bulldogs continued their dominance of the running game, holding Marist to 34 yards on the ground. Coming in, Drake led the Pioneer League in allowing just 82.3 yards rushing.
The Bulldogs’ Tyler Moorehead had 4.5 tackles for a loss of 23 yards, including three sacks totaling 21 yards.
Patrick Cashmore rushed for 109 yards and a touchdown on 28 carries for Drake, which has won all three matchups against Marist.
