UNIVERSITY PARK, PA — Iowa made it three in a row with a 41-21 win at Penn State. The victory was a milestone for Iowa’s Kirk Ferentz who became just the fourth coach to reach 100 Big Ten victories.

After opening 0-2 the Hawkeyes have won three straight games in lopsided fashion.

Ferentz credits the players for staying the course after a rough start.

The Hawkeyes have a short week to get ready for a Black Friday game at home against Nebraska. Kickoff is slated for noon with the pre-game at 10 o’clock Friday morning on AM-1300 KGLO

 

 

AMES — Iowa State is closing in on the Big 12 regular season championship. The Cyclones are 6-1 in the league race after dismantling Kansas State 45-0. They would clinch at least a share of the title with a Black Friday win at Texas.

The Cyclones will have a short week to get ready for a Longhorn team that needs a win to keep its championship hopes alive.

Campbell says the short week presents a big challenge.

Kickoff on Friday is scheduled for 11:00 AM.

 

 

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Andy Dalton returned from a two-game absence to throw three touchdown passes for Dallas. He hit Dalton Schultz for a 2-yard score with 1:37 left to lift the Cowboys to a 31-28 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. That stopped a four-game losing streak for Dallas and a three-game winning streak for Minnesota. The Cowboys are in a three-way tie for second place in the NFC East behind Philadelphia. Kirk Cousins passed for 314 yards and three touchdowns for the Vikings, who remained two games out of the final wild-card spot in ninth place in the NFC.
