ISU’s Kempt earns Davey O’Brien weekly award

Sports

October 10th, 2017 by admin

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State senior quarterback Kyle Kempt was named the Davey O’Brien National Quarterback of the Week, announced today by the Davey O’Brien Foundation.

Kempt was sensational in his first career start, leading Iowa State to one of its greatest victories in school history in a 38-31 win over No. 3 Oklahoma in Norman. It was the first road win over a top-five team in school history.

A native of Massillon, Ohio, Kempt completed 18-of-24 passes for 343 yards and three TDs. He also completed a key two-point conversion pass to Allen Lazard.

His three TD passes were all after intermission, helping the Cyclones erase a 24-13 second-half deficit. Kempt’s 25-yard corner end zone toss to Lazard proved to be the game-winner with 2:19 left in the contest.

The walk-on had passing strikes of 57, 54 and 46 yards, three of the top-four longest plays on the season for the Cyclones.

Kempt is the first Cyclone QB to win the Davey O’Brien weekly award.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Animal rights and free speech organizations have sued the state of Iowa, challenging a 2012 law that made it illegal to get a job at a livestock farm through misrepresentation to conduct an animal cruelty undercover investigation. Filing the lawsuit Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Des Moines are the Animal Legal Defense Fund, the American Civil Liberties Union of Iowa, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and the Center for Food Safety and Public Justice. The groups claim Iowa’s law violates their constitutional free speech and equal protection rights.

The lawsuit names the governor, whose spokeswoman didn’t immediately respond to a message, and the attorney general, whose spokesman said they haven’t seen the lawsuit. Federal courts have struck down similar laws in Idaho, Utah and Wyoming.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Police say a Des Moines mother has been arrested after officers found her three young children alone outside their home, including one covered in feces and another with a full diaper. TV station KCCI reports that a 4-year-old boy was left in charge Monday of his 2-year-old and 1-year-old siblings. He’d taken them outside after their stove made a frightening sound when he tried to make breakfast. County records say Destinee Miller remains jailed Tuesday on child endangerment charges.

Officers say the house was littered with hundreds of mounds of dog feces. Miller later told officers she had left to take one of her dogs to a vet. State authorities have taken custody of the children.
