American Rivers Conference rivals Wartburg and Coe have done a lot of excellent things on football fields over the years. With lots of Eastern Iowans helping their causes, and they meet again Saturday with a lot on the line.

Fun Facts about Saturday’s Northwestern-Iowa football game though some aren’t particularly fun. “Wildcats” and “Homecoming” are movies the critics, quite frankly, could have done without.

Jaffer Murphy traded in college soccer for football after last season, transferred to Lake Erie College in Ohio, and has field goals of 53, 55 and 60 yards.

“I played bad today,” Iowa State quarterback Rocco Becht said after Cyclones’ crazy 38-35 comeback win, but he played very, very well when it mattered the most

A closer look at Iowa’s 40-16 win over Washington Saturday at Kinnick Stadium. The Hawkeyes scored 20 points in both halves to rout the Huskies and get to 2-1 in the Big Ten.

Iowa is only the fourth-longest trip for new conference foe Washington in a Big Ten that suddenly stretches from sea to shining sea.
