Next the uni panthers were looking for a two and oh start to the Conference Season as they hit the road in south dakota plus the hawkeyes faced a mustwin situation in minnesota as they looked to turn around a disappointing start to the season appeared to be a must win for a 3 and 2 record while coming off a disappointing loss at minnesota iowas last trip to Tcf Bank Stadium resulted in a 37 avoid today the first half marred by turnovers by both teams the gophers x x puts it on the deck Brandon Snyder picks it up for the hawks puts the offense in business but they couldnt capitalize cj beathard deep downfield his pass gets tipped and picked by jalen myrick both offenses struggled and put up nothing in the First Quarter it finally changed in the second when akrum wadley busted loose on the final play of the first wadley gets down to the gopher seven but the offense stalled iowa would have to settle for a keith duncan field goal for a 3, bring floyd back for the second straight year, something needed to get better quickly. Second half the hawkeye offense chugged down the field the end zone as duncans second field goal of the game gave iowa a 6, nothing lead and the gophers took advantage of iowas inability to punch one in shannon brooks scores from the 10 gophers took a 7, 6 lead in the third i six minutes but no longer George Kittle hit the last man. Id seen daylight. All i had to do was beat one man and it was off to the races. Moments later its Leshun Daniels on the 2 point conversion hawks would go up 14 to 7 going to the final minutes i thought it was big obviously for the outcome of the game. I thought it also gave our team a finish the game out. In the end the iowa defense would get called upon to put it away stopping one drive with a snyder interception but the gophers got one last chance 4th down in the red zone and its greg mabin coming up with the pass breakup that ended up putting floyd of rosedale with the hawks on the trip home finally getting a win in one of these close games is big for us. Right now were oh and two in close games. Well, not oh and two, one and two really, but we it means a lot for our team and hopebully our defense there getting the big stops and just playing better than we have been playing. So our confidence level is coming up a little bit, but we need to keep coming out in practice and giving it our all. Til the game is won wooooo the uni panthers took the field in play down seven early but aaron bailey takes care bailey scores from the twelve game tied at 7 in the first but uni having to play from behind again this time its bailey and mike mallow on a 17 yard connection tying things at 14 after one second half well it didnt go so well Chris Streveler deep downfield to t carpenter hes off to the races carpenter with a pair of td catches panthers still had a shot down three with about a minute left goes down on fourth uni drops a tough one today 28, 25 iowa States Matt Campbell still looking for his first big 12 win this time in a tough one at Oklahoma State but for the second straight week the cyclones came out firing jacob park and allen lazard hook up for the score 17, 14 isu at the break iowa state a 17 point underdog but didnt look like it as joel lanning they just kept on the gas lanning again another one to the endzone second touchdown grab for lazard cyclones with a 17 point 3rd quarter edge but just like last week it all came crashing down cowboys withing ten Mason Rudolph finds Jalen Mcclesky to make it a 3 point game then tied under four to go rudolph to James Washington okie state scored 24 unanswered its another heartbreaker for the cyclones falling 38, black hawks hosting the lincoln stars tonight third period waterloo up one and getting a big flurry on the power but nothing got by Josef Korenar of the stars but Robbie Beydoun was even better for waterloo stopped all 17 shots he saw tonight meanwhile the black hawks ace black hawks shut out the stars 2, nothing to open up the home season how tall are you .
