Iowa State Deep at Running Back

Sports

August 21st, 2013 by Jim Field

There is no shortage of running backs at Iowa State this season. James White is one of three senior running backs with experience and the list includes Shontrelle Johnson and Jeff Woody. White says all of the running backs bring something different to the offense.

White says regardless of who is on the field the ISU offense needs more big plays this season.

White says he likes getting the ball in the “pistol” offense.

Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads is not even thinking about how to divide up the carries.

Iowa State opens August 31st at home against UNI.

After WR Swap, Jenkins Dives into Life with Chiefs

Sports

August 21st, 2013 by Jim Field

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A.J. Jenkins never thought he’d be back in Kansas City so soon.

The former first-round pick of the San Francisco 49ers played in a preseason game against the Chiefs on Friday night at Arrowhead Stadium. On Tuesday morning, he was wearing a white shirt with that familiar arrowhead logo while participating in a walk-through before practice.

Such is the NFL, where life can be turned upside down in a matter of days.

Jenkins was traded to the Chiefs on Monday for Jon Baldwin in what amounted to a swap of wide receivers that have been disappointments. Jenkins played in three games for the 49ers last season and failed to catch a pass, while Baldwin has just 41 catches in his first two seasons.

August 21st, 2013 by Jim Field

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Kyle Lohse beat the Cardinals for the first time this season and Sean Halton knocked in a career-high three runs to help the Milwaukee Brewers beat St. Louis 6-3 Tuesday night.

Lohse beat the Cardinals in his fourth try this season and improved to 3-5 in nine outings overall against his former team.

Lohse left after six innings with the Brewers leading 6-3. He struck out four, walked two and allowed six hits and three runs, two coming on Yadier Molina’s two-run homer in the fourth. Molina doubled and scored in the second on Matt Adams’ single.

After John Axford and Brandon Kintzler each pitched a scoreless inning, and Jim Henderson pitched the ninth for his 19th save in 22 chances.

Lance Lynn got roughed up in the Brewers’ five-run fourth, highlighted by Halton’s two-run single with the bases loaded.
