WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — Kaleb Johnson ran for 200 yards on 22 carries, including a touchdown, and Spencer Petras passed for two touchdowns to power Iowa past Purdue 24-3 on Saturday as you heard on AM-1300 KGLO. Purdue’s Aidan O’Connell struggled to find his rhythm on a windy day, completing just 20 of 43 passes for 168 yards and two interceptions. The Boilermakers were limited to 87 yards rushing, led by Devin Mockobee with 65 yards on 14 carries. Both teams are now 5-4 and 3-3 in the Big Ten.

 

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Hunter Dekkers threw for two touchdowns and Xavier Hutchinson caught ten passes for 123 yards and a score as Iowa State defeated West Virginia 31-14 on Saturday. The Cyclones (4-5, 1-5 Big 12) snapped a five-game losing streak and kept alive their hopes of playing in a bowl game for the sixth straight season. Dekkers, who finished 24-of-36 passing for 219 yards, engineered an 8-play, 94-yard drive that helped Iowa State seize control early in the fourth quarter.

 

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) — Isaiah Davis ran 24 times for 104 yards and a touchdown and Hunter Dustman kicked a 26-yard field goal on the final play of the game to help South Dakota State beat Northern Iowa 31-28. South Dakota State (9-1, 7-0 Missouri Valley Conference), ranked No. 1 in the FCS coaches poll, has won nine consecutive games since a 7-3 loss at Iowa in the season opener. Dustman missed a 34-yard field-goal attempt as time expired but a personal foul for leaping over the line moved the ball half the distance to the goal and set up Dustman’s winner. Day completed 16 of 30 passes for 270 yards and two touchdowns with two interceptions for Northern Iowa (5-5, 4-3), which had its three-game win streak snapped.

 

LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Kirk Cousins threw two touchdown passes to help the Minnesota Vikings come back and beat the Washington Commanders 20-17 for their sixth consecutive victory. Cousins led multiple fourth-quarter scoring drives after the Vikings fell behind 17-7. The former Washington quarterback also capitalized on Harrison Smith’s interception of current Commanders starter Taylor Heinicke that gave Minnesota the ball inside the red zone. Greg Joseph made a 28-yard field goal with 12 seconds left to keep the Vikings winning streak alive. Washington’s winning streak ended at three.

IOWA CITY — The Iowa men’s basketball team opens the season at home against Bethune-Cookman tonight. Former NBA star Reggie Theus coaches a Wildcat team that was 9-21 a year ago. Hawkeye coach Fran McCaffery says it is a team with a mix of veterans and newcomers.

McCaffery says the Hawkeyes are excited for a new season.

The game is the first game of a doubleheader with the 4th-ranked Iowa women playing Southern in the second game. Center Monika Czinano(sih-nah-no) says the Hawkeyes are motivated by last season’s early exit from the NCAA Tournament.

Czinano decided early last season she was going to return for a fifth year.

You can hear the games starting with the pre-game at 5 o’clock tonight on AM-1300 KGLO.
