UNDATED (AP) — No. 20 Iowa hosts Rutgers in the Big Ten opener for both teams. The Hawkeyes pounded Miami of Ohio 38-14, while Rutgers beat UMass 48-21 to also move to 1-0 on the young season.
UNDATED (AP) — Former Big Eight/12 adversaries No. 25 Nebraska and Colorado meet in Boulder for the first time since 2009. Colorado rallied for a 33-28 win in Lincoln, Nebraska, last season.
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Eric Lee Jr. finally had his breakout game for Nebraska. The fifth-year senior safety pledged to former coach Bo Pelini in 2014 and languished at cornerback under Mike Riley. After getting off to a rough start with new coach Scott Frost, Lee saw his role increase against South Alabama when Deontai Williams went out with an injury. Lee ran back an interception for a touchdown and picked off another pass. This week he returns to his home state to play against Colorado.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Jacksonville’s 2018 season began to unravel in Kansas City. The Chiefs scored on three of their first four possessions, led 20-0 at halftime and seemingly could have dictated the final score. Kansas City went on to win 30-14 and sent the Jags into a seven-game tailspin that ruined their much-hyped season and caused them to make the ultra-expensive decision at quarterback. They’re counting on that offseason move making a huge difference in the rematch Sunday in Jacksonville.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs’ locker room is hardly a pressure-packed place with the NFL’s regular season rapidly approaching. A team that many peg as the AFC favorites is full of jokesters, a hard-working yet light-hearted attitude pervasive. In fact, that may just be one of the things that drives Kansas City to a Super Bowl berth.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Dakota Hudson pitched six innings of one-hit ball and hit a two-run single for his first big league RBIs, helping the St. Louis Cardinals rout the San Francisco Giants 10-0 to open a three-game lead over the second-place Chicago Cubs in the NL Central. Paul DeJong hit a two-run homer and Paul Goldschmidt singled and scored twice for the Cardinals, who for the sixth time in seven games. San Francisco has lost five of six and eight of 10, dropping 9½ games back for the NL’s second wild card.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Jordy Mercer put the Tigers ahead with their third home run of the fourth inning, and Detroit overcame a three-run deficit in a victory for the first time this year by beating Kansas City 6-4. The Royals built a 3-0 lead in the second. Harold Castro started the comeback with an RBI single in the third, and Detroit took a 4-3 lead in the fourth off Glenn Sparkman when Brandon Dixon, Dawel Lugo and Mercer went deep for the Tigers’ first three-homer inning this year.

Council Bluffs police say officers were investigating a report of a missing child when 28-year-old Michael Brandstrom brought the girl to officers, saying he had found her outside and brought her into his apartment to keep her safe.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A Texas health and human services official has been named the new director of the Iowa Department of Human Services. Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds says Thursday she has appointed Kelly Kennedy Garcia to head the department that oversees the state’s Medicaid program, mental health centers and child welfare services. Former DHS Director Jerry Foxhoven was ousted from the job in June for reasons Reynolds has not fully disclosed. He’s filed a $2 million wrongful termination claim.
GREENFIELD, Iowa (AP) — Authorities say a pilot suffered minor injuries when his airplane crashed in a south-central Iowa cornfield. The Adair County Sheriff’s Office says a 911 caller reported Wednesday that a man had walked to the caller’s home, saying the small plane he’d been flying had gone down. First responders found the single-engine plane lying on its top about a mile northwest of Greenfield. The pilot was taken to a hospital and soon released. He’s been identified as 59-year-old Eric Chrystal, of Jefferson.

(NBC News via Radio Iowa) — Iowa Congressman Steve King says he drank from a toilet tank at a migrant detention center recently to show the water was safe for drinking. N-B-C News recorded King during a town hall yesterday (Wednesday) in Eagle Grove as he talked about touring detention facilities for asylum-seekers.

“I actually went into that cell where it was reported they were advised they had to drink out of the toilet,” King said. “I took a drink out of there and it was actually pretty good, so I have a video tape and I smacked my lips.”
King told the crowd in Eagle Grove he hadn’t posted the video online, to help put complaints about conditions in the detention centers “in the rear view mirror.” But after N-B-C’s reporter posted King’s comments online, King tweeted out the video . He described the system this way in the audio recorded by N-B-C News:
“These toilets in these prisons are solid stainless steel. They’re built so that they are semi-indestructible by the inmates that are there,” King says. “And in the back, where the lid would be on our toilet, that’s also sealed and there’s a water fountain there and you push the button and the water comes out and you take a drink,” King said. “That’s how it is. It’s not drinking out of the toilet. It’s drinking out of the water fountain that’s integral with the back of the toilet.”
King says he believes a “language barrier” prevented those being held in the cells from understanding the words “potable water” printed on a sign above the tank. A Democrat in congress who visited the detention centers criticized King. She said migrants told her the guards directed them to drink out of the toilet because the water fountain was broken.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The U.S. Agriculture Department has announced the award of $36 million to buy conservation easements on Iowa agriculture land damaged by flooding this year. The funds are available through the flood plain easement component of the Emergency Watershed Protection Program. Iowa Natural Resources Conservation Service field offices are accepting applications through Oct. 18.
Under the program, eligible applicants voluntarily agree to sell a permanent conservation easement to the federal government. Compensation is based on the value of the easement rights acquired based on rate caps and market analysis.
The easements may occur on public or private agricultural land and/or residential properties damaged by flooding. Applications will be prioritized by a statewide ranking. The conservation service will work with landowners to restore easements to their natural flood plain condition.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Dakota Hudson pitched six innings of one-hit ball and hit a two-run single for his first big league RBIs, helping the St. Louis Cardinals rout the San Francisco Giants 10-0 on Thursday to open a three-game lead over the second-place Chicago Cubs in the NL Central.
Paul DeJong hit an early two-run homer, and Paul Goldschmidt singled and scored twice for the Cardinals, who for the sixth time in seven games.
San Francisco has lost five of six and eight of 10, dropping nine games back for the NL’s second wild card at 67-73.
Hudson (15-6) allowed a one-out single in the second to Kevin Pillar and walked Brandon Crawford, then retired 14 of his final 15 batters. He has won five straight starts.
Génesis Cabrera finished the four-hitter for his first big league save.
Logan Webb (1-1) allowed eight runs — seven earned — eight hits and two walks in 2 2/3 innings.
Tommy Edman doubled leading off and scored on Paul Goldschmidt’s one-out single in a three-run first capped by DeJong’s career-best 26 homer.
St. Louis blew open the game with a five-run third that included a pair of miscues by the Giants. Matt Carpenter reached on a run-scoring infield single when first baseman Brandon Belt lost track of the bag on a throw from second baseman Mauricio Dubón. Crawford allowed Edman’s grounder to shortstop to bounce off his glove for an error.
Hudson’s single chased Webb and boosted the lead to 7-0.
Rangel Ravelo hit his first career homer, a two-run drive in the eighth against Kyle Barraclough.
