(By DEE-ANN DURBIN AP Business Writer) – The Coca-Cola Co. said it saw gradual improvement in the third quarter, as it turned its focus to emerging leaner from the global pandemic. Atlanta-based Coke said its revenue fell 9% to $8.7 billion. That was well ahead of Wall Street’s forecast of $8.4 billion, according to analysts polled by FactSet. It was also better than the 28% drop in revenue the company saw in the second quarter.

(Radio Iowa) — Iowa quarterback Spencer Petras says preparation will help him overcome the jitters in his first collegiate start. The Hawkeyes open on Saturday at Purdue.
Petras is not sure what they will see from the Purdue defense. It will be former Hawkeye player Bob Diaco’s first game as Boilermaker defensive coordinator.
It will be an unusual setting with no fans there.
Senior linebacker Nick Niemann says the defense will use some five and six defensive back looks against the Purdue passing attack. Niemann says the Hawkeyes need to find a way to disrupt the timing of the Purdue offense.
With Tristan Wirfs leaving early for the NFL Indiana grad transfer Coy Cronk makes the start at right tackle. His Iowa debut will be in his hometown.
(Radio Iowa) – Two of the top running games in the Big-12 collide on Saturday when 17th ranked Iowa State visits number six Oklahoma State. The Cyclones have averaged 180 yards on the ground in a 3-1 start while the Cowboys have posted a league best 213 yards on the ground in a 3-0 start. Iowa State free safety Lawrence White says sound tackling will be crucial this week.
White is concerned about the big play ability of Cowboys running back Chuba Hubbard.
Iowa State has won three straight but White says the mindset has not changed.
Junior center Colin Newell says despite some injuries the offensive line continues to make strides.
Known as a league with a lot of passing and not much defense, Iowa State and Oklahoma State are in contention in the Big-12 because of the run game and solid defense.
Two years ago Purdy made his debut in a Cyclone 48-42 win in Stillwater. Purdy says this is a much better Oklahoma State defense.
(Radio Iowa) – Iowa State basketball coach Steve Prohm is putting the finishing touches on a 25-game schedule for the upcoming season. The Cyclones announced they will play at Mississippi State in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge on January 30.
Prohm says ISU does not plan on hosting its own tournament so the schedule will be limited to 25 games.
The Cyclones are looking to bounce back from last year’s 12-20 record.
Prohm says with COVID every team will need to deal with disruptions.
