AMES, Iowa (AP) — Joel Lanning threw a touchdown pass in his first start and freshman Mike Warren carved out another 100-yard rushing game, leading Iowa State to a much-needed 24-0 victory over Texas on Saturday night. Lanning, a sophomore who replaced senior Sam Richardson, struggled at times with his passing but did enough with his feet for the Cyclones (3-5, 2-3 Big 12) to break a three-game losing streak.

He led a 66-yard scoring drive that gave the Cyclones a quick early lead and floated a perfectly thrown pass to Dondre Daley in the left corner of the end zone to make it 17-0 in the third quarter. Texas (3-5, 2-3) had upset Oklahoma and dominated Kansas State in its two previous outings with an improved running game. But the Longhorns struggled to get anything going in this one and never advanced past the Iowa State 47 until the final 90 seconds.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) – Desmond King had an 88-yard interception return for a touchdown in the fourth quarter and 10th-ranked Iowa beat Maryland 31-15 Saturday for its eighth straight victory to start the season.

Iowa used a touchdown late in the second quarter to lead 21-0 at halftime. The Hawkeyes defense took over from there, and King’s return put the Hawkeyes ahead 31-7 with 7:38 left. Will Likely had a 100-yard kickoff return for the Terrapins (2-6, 0-4), who threw for just 74 yards.

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) – Aaron Bailey threw a touchdown pass and ran for another to lead Northern Iowa to a 20-7 victory over South Dakota on Saturday. Bailey was 16-of-27 passing for 231 yards with 44 yards rushing to lead the Panthers (4-4, 2-3 Missouri Valley), who have won consecutive games since snapping a three-game losing skid.

Ryan Saeger was 11-of-21 for 133 yards passing with a first quarter touchdown to lead South Dakota (4-4, 2-3).  Bailey threw a 14-yard touchdown pass to Braden Lehman, and bullied in for a 1-yard TD run to cap an eight play, 83-yard drive to give the Panthers a 14-7 halftime lead. Michael Schmadeke kicked field goals of 48 and 50 yards in the third quarter to cap the scoring. The Coyotes had just 187 yards of offense with two fumbles and an interception.

MOREHEAD, Ky. (AP) – Shavi Bash kicked a 23-yard field goal in the third overtime to lead Morehead State to a 38-35 victory over Drake on Saturday.  Morehead State (5-3, 4-1 Pioneer League) has won five its past six, including four straight at home. Austin Gahafer was 22 of 40 for 229 yards passing with two touchdowns before coming out with an injury midway through the fourth quarter. Jack Sherry replaced Gahafer and threw for 95 yards with fourth quarter and overtime touchdown passes for the Eagles.

Andy Rice was 22-of-38 passing for 220 yards with three touchdowns to lead Drake (4-5, 3-3).  Rice’s 5-yard pass was tipped in the end zone and intercepted by Trey Watkins, and Bash’s 37-yard field goal attempt was blocked in the first overtime.  The teams traded touchdowns in the second overtime before Rice threw an interception to Justin Grier, setting up Bash’s game-winning kick.
