(Radio Iowa/Learfield Sports) — Iowa looks to snap a three game losing skid today (Saturday), in the series with a visit to Northwestern. The Wildcats are 1-5 but still have a solid defense.

That’s Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz. The Hawks run game showed some signs of life a week ago in a win over Purdue.

Northwestern has dominated the Hawkeyes physically the last few years.

Pre-game coverage begins at 9-a.m. on KJAN, with the kick-off at 11.

Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press

AMES, Iowa (AP) — For most teams, losing nearly 70 percent of their scoring and over 60 percent of their rebounding would mean that a rebuilding season was imminent. At Iowa State, it’s just the latest chance to give a new batch of players a crack at the Big 12 title. The Cyclones (23-12 in 2018-18) saw four key contributors that averaged a combined 53.1 points, 18.8 rebounds and 10.4 assists per game move on after last season

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs have ruled quarterback Patrick Mahomes out for Sunday night’s showdown with the Green Bay Packers because of his dislocated right kneecap. Mahomes, who hurt the knee last Thursday night in Denver, was limited participant in practice all week. The Chiefs decided to give the reigning league MVP at least one game off as he recovers from an injury that can sometimes sideline a player for several months.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The prime-time showdown between the Packers and Chiefs was supposed to be a marquee matchup between quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes. But when the Kansas City quarterback dislocated his kneecap against Denver, those prospects went out the window. Now, it’s merely an intriguing test of division leaders.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky coach Mark Stoops should expect a hard-fought game against Missouri based on the teams’ recent history. The Wildcats have won the last four meetings against the Tigers, with the past two decided by six points or less. The Wildcats look to extend their streak, but Stoops expects Mizzou to make every yard and point hard to come by.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — There has been more attention on Kansas basketball over the past six months in court rooms than on basketball courts. Coach Bill Self and the rest of the No. 3 Jayhawks are ready for that to change. The season is on the horizon. The focus can get back on the game, and a season in which expectations are soaring for the Jayhawks. The season opener is Nov. 5 against fourth-ranked Duke in New York City.

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Bruce Weber walked into the Kansas State practice gym a year ago knowing precisely what to expect, thanks in part to five returning starters and a bevy of experience sitting on his bench. But after three key seniors departed from a team that tied for the Big 12 title last season, Weber is still uncertain what to expect when the season opens Nov. 5 against North Dakota State.

Here is the latest Iowa news from The Associated Press at 4:00 a.m. CDT

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The owner of a popular Des Moines bowling alley that burned to the ground nearly two years ago says he will not rebuild the venue. Randy Thompson, the owner of Plaza Lanes, tells television station KCCI that the land is now up for sale. He says he made that decision after an insurance settlement from the fire failed to cover the cost to rebuild.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The Iowa Supreme Court has revoked an attorney’s law license, concluding she improperly kept a client’s money she wasn’t entitled to. The court says in an order released Friday that Tina Muhammad cannot apply to get her Iowa license back for at least five years.

MANCHESTER, Iowa (AP) — A judge who presided over a nonjury trial regarding a troubled roadside zoo in eastern Iowa now must determine whether it should be closed. Testimony ended this week regarding Cricket Hollow Animal Park. Four plaintiffs have sued to have the animals removed and the zoo owned by Pam and Tom Sellner closed. The zoo sits just west of Manchester.

KEOKUK, Iowa (AP) — A judge who presided over a nonjury trial has convicted a man who’d been charged with killing his former girlfriend. Lee County court records say Judge Mary Brown found 25-year-old Adam McCain guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced him Thursday to life in prison without possibility of parole. Authorities say McCain stabbed 27-year-old Calove Sackman once on Feb. 5 in Keokuk, got into his vehicle and ran her over, and then got back out and stabbed her several more times.

Atlantic senior running back Tyler Moen

The Atlantic Trojans rolled past the Red Oak Tigers 54-0 on Friday night to wrap up the 2019 season. The Trojans worked a successful ground game early with Tyler Moen and built a 41-0 lead by halftime. The running clock rule was in place for the second half and the game melted away quickly.

Tyler Moen finished another stellar night with 320 yards on 25 carries with 5 rushing touchdowns. The first 4 scores of the game came from Moen. He finishes the season with 1,909 yards on the ground with 20 rushing touchdowns. Moen was already the single season rushing leader in Atlantic history before the game started, passing Derek Lane’s 1992 season mark of 1,293 yards.

The other three scores on the night came from a Garrett McLaren 18 yard touchdown pass to Collin Mullenix, a 5-yard run by Corey Parrott, and a 1 yard plunge from Ayden Brown.

The Trojan defense had a very solid outing as well, holding the Tigers to just 84 total yards of offense and 3 turnovers.

Atlantic finishes the season with a 4-5 record overall and a 3-2 mark in Class 2A District 9. Red Oak finishes the year 0-9.

Listen to the post-game interview with Head Coach Mike McDermott and Tyler Moen below.
