Cedar Rapids Kennedy 34, 5A No. 4 Linn-Mar 0
There was certainly a sense of urgency, but there was no panic among the players and coaches at Cedar Rapids Kennedy.
Coming into Friday night’s game against Class 5A No. 4 Linn-Mar, the Cougars knew what type of team they had.
“We had two tough games before this one,” said Kennedy senior wide receiver Cyrus Courtney about his team’s losses to No. 2 West Des Moines Dowling and Pleasant Valley to open the season. “We had already had some dogfights so we were ready for this.”
The Cougars were more than ready. Coach Brian White’s team piled up 412 yards of total offense and held the Lions to 233 yards en route to a convincing 34-0 victory before a near-capacity crowd at Linn-Mar Stadium.
“We took this week personal,” said Courtney, who had seven catches for 139 yards and a touchdown. “The week of practice we had was probably the hardest one I can ever remember and it paid off. We just beat the No. 4 team 34-0 on their field.”

4A No. 5 Cedar Rapids Xavier 22, 4A No. 3 Western Dubuque 20
Cedar Rapids Xavier Coach Duane Schulte said one of the halftime messages to his team was to play to win.
He had witnessed a tendency to play “not to lose” at points this season. The Saints turned that around after the break and avoided two straight losses for the first time in 12 years.
Ronan Thomas passed for two touchdowns and rushed for another in the second half, helping Class 4A No. 5 Xavier to a 22-20 victory over No. 3 Western Dubuque in a slobberknocker of a non-district prep football game Friday night at Saints Field.
“It’s not like we changed the play calling,” Thomas said about the second-half turnaround. “We changed the mentality. People started going as hard as they could. They started getting angry on the field but not at themselves. They were going as hard as they could.”
The Saints trailed 7-0 at the break with Western Dubuque connecting on a 59-yard pass from Tanner Anderson to Brock Carpenter, who hauled in a bubble screen, found a seam and bolted for the second-quarter score.
The Saints manufactured three straight scoring drives after intermission. Thomas helped lead the Saints on drives of 80, 70 and 66 yards. The first lasted six plays, concluding with a 57-yard scoring strike to Carter Hoffmann.

3A No. 2 Mount Vernon 19, Benton Community 7
A pair of top-five defenses lived up to their reputation. A couple of big breaks and a little versatility made the difference.
Class 3A second-ranked Mount Vernon outlasted Benton Community in a battle of unbeatens, 19-7, Friday night at Mount Vernon.
“That’s a very good football team,” Mount Vernon Coach Lance Pedersen said of Benton Community. “I think they’re probably underrated.”
The Mustangs (3-0) came into the night third in Class 3A, giving up 3.0 points per game. The Bobcats came in tied for fourth at 3.5 points per game. In a game where yards were tough to come by, a couple of big Benton Community mistakes bookended the first half, allowing the Mustangs to seize control.
The first Benton Community (2-1) snap got away from quarterback Owen Tjelmeland and Cole Thorn emerged with the ball in the end zone to put Mount Vernon up 7-0 with 10:39 left in the first.
With time running out in the half, Benton Community lined up to punt from its own 48. Nova Lane broke through the line, blocking the kick. On fourth-and-4 from the 15, Joey Rhomberg threw a perfect strike to Evan Brase as the Mustangs reached the locker room with a 19-7 lead.

Marion 34, Center Point-Urbana 19
The lights flashed. The wolf howled. The home team won.
You couldn’t have scripted a better debut for Marion Stadium. For three quarters, at least.
Marion spotted Center Point-Urbana the first touchdown, then scored on five consecutive drives and christened its new on-campus stadium with a 34-19 non-district football win Friday night.
“It was electric,” quarterback Kaleb Diers said. “I liked when the lights (flashed) after our touchdowns.”
It wasn’t an uncommon occurrence. The Wolves (2-1) piled up 384 yards of offense in the first half and finished with 512.

Cedar Rapids Jefferson 41, Des Moines North 8
They’re going from being continuous clocked to continuous clocking opponents. Continuously.
That’s how stunningly rapid this football turnaround has been for the Cedar Rapids Jefferson J-Hawks.
Jefferson won a third straight game to open a 2023 season that’s turning into an incredible metamorphosis Friday night at Kingston Stadium, pummeling Des Moines North, 41-8.
The J-Hawks, as you may know, ended a 26-game losing streak when they beat Muscatine two weeks ago. They pummeled Marshalltown last week, 40-0.
Here they ran out to a 35-0 halftime lead. Jefferson scored two touchdowns in the first quarter and three more in the second.
Jefferson has Des Moines East on the road next week, which lost to North. Could 4-0 be in the offing?
“It’s a full team effort,” said Jefferson quarterback Jeremiah Peiffer. “Offensively, defensively, as a team tonight we came out and did our personal jobs, and got what we needed to get done, done. The amount of players who have bought in this year is tremendous. There’s a lot more numbers this years, so the amount of guys bought in, the team we have and the team we’re rolling with is just great.”

Anamosa 21, Vinton-Shellsburg 7
The Vikings outgained the Raiders, 316-221, in total yards, but a muffed punt, a blocked punt and an interception turned into points for the hosts.
Following a Tayte Peterschmidt blocked punt, Austin Scranton scored on a 1-yard run before the muffed punt led to Hudson Scranton scoring on a 6-yard run.
A Nate Fischer interception led to a 36-yard TD pass from Anamosa quarterback Vince Diers to Fischer, extending the Raider lead to 21-0 with 3:52 to play in the third quarter.
Austin Scranton powered Anamosa, rushing 27 times for 119 yards.
Brant Dickinson scored the lone TD for the Vikings, hauling in an 8-yard pass from quarterback Zach Staab with 1:50 to play in the game.
— Daryl Schepanski
2A No. 5 Monticello 35, Cascade 0
Monticello quarterback Preston Ries threw for 314 yards and four touchdowns, three of them to Peyton Schilling, as the Panthers controlled things at home.
Ries also rushed 13 times for 123 yards and a score. The Panthers scored all of their points in the first half.
Defensively, Monticello (2-1) held the Cougars (0-3) to 65 yards of total offense.
— Pete Temple
West Branch 30, 1A No. 4 Waterloo Columbus 23
Logan Wright rumbled 39 yards on an interception return as the Bears completed a dramatic comeback for their first win of the season.
West Branch quarterback Brennen Dale threw for 169 yards and a score, and added two more TDs on the ground. Joe Hamann hauled in six passes for 101 yards and the lone receiving touchdown.
West Branch enters the district season next Friday at home against Cascade.

Iowa football isn’t always pretty, but because of Kirk Ferentz, it has punched above its weight class
IOWA CITY, Iowa — In unseasonably warm air and beneath a blueish haze over Kinnick Stadium, Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz took a moment to himself with two minutes left and his team wrapping up a 40-16 win against Washington.
Ferentz stood apart from his team on the sideline with his headset on as his offense huddled during the media timeout. On the video board, his picture appeared. Public address announcer Mark Abbott relayed that Ferentz was about to win his 200th game as Iowa’s head coach, passing Amos Alonzo Stagg for second in Big Ten history. The crowd stood and applauded, and Ferentz acknowledged them with a wave.
GO DEEPER
Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz earns 200th career win as Big Ten coach
Tight end Luke Lachey gave him a hug, as did running back Kaleb Johnson. Backup quarterback Marco Lainez III shook his hand. With 33 seconds left, Ferentz walked to the TigerHawk at midfield, shook hands with Washington counterpart Jedd Fisch and completed an interview with Fox Sports. More subdued than emotional, Ferentz jogged off the playing surface, up the tunnel and into Iowa’s locker room where his players welcomed him with a water bottle shower.
Sunshine and 70-degree days — literally or figuratively — rarely have followed Ferentz into October in his coaching career, so the picturesque autumn setting was abnormal for college football’s longest-tenured coach. However, how Ferentz and the Hawkeyes responded to a 35-7 loss to Ohio State last week went entirely by script.
There are two defining characteristics through the highs and lows of Ferentz’s 26 years at Iowa: One, his players trust him and believe in him. The other truth is, no football coach — thus, no program — responds better to adversity than Ferentz and his Hawkeyes.
Ferentz’s entire career has revolved around continual improvement. And Iowa has gone very far following Ferentz’s ethos.
“He’s the same person every day,” said left tackle Mason Richman, who is in his fifth season. “He brings the same exact energies. You know exactly what to expect from him, no matter what the scoreboard says.”
Iowa rarely recruits five-star players and mostly signs three-star prospects. Only once in his career did Iowa finish in the top 15 in national recruiting, and that was in 2005. The Hawkeyes are a low-offer program because they heavily research character in recruiting. They want high achievers with good grades who were team captains in multiple sports. To Ferentz and his staff, those players invest themselves and improve others.
“I feel like we recruit the type of the right type of guys,” Iowa linebacker Jay Higgins said. “We just don’t have selfish guys in the locker room. So when you have good guys who understand what a team should look like, and then you also have a good leader, it’s easy to stand together. I just think this team, this program, anytime there’s adversity, we only get closer.”
Those types of players are built to handle challenges, and Iowa continues to have the right coach to navigate them through it. The examples in Ferentz’s era abound.
• In 2016, the Hawkeyes gave up 599 yards in a 41-14 massacre at eventual Big Ten champion Penn State. As a three-touchdown home underdog to No. 2 Michigan the following week, Iowa bounced back with a stunning 14-13 upset.
• Sitting at the midpoint of the 2008 season, Iowa was 15-16 over 2 1/2 seasons. Ferentz never wavered, and neither did his team. The Hawkeyes won their final four games to end that season, and then their first nine in 2009. They finished with their highest final ranking (No. 7) since 1960.
• In 2014, Iowa continued a slope of mediocrity by losing all four rivalry trophy games and finishing 7-6. The next year, dubbed “New Kirk,” Ferentz switched practices from afternoon to morning and became much more open in the public. The players responded in 2015 with a spirit of togetherness, leading to a school-record 12 wins. From that year onward, Iowa ranks tied for 10th among power-conference teams in victories.
• Two years ago, Iowa’s offense was among the nation’s worst in every category. After a 7-3 season-opening win against South Dakota State in which the Hawkeyes scored on two safeties and a field goal, linebacker Jack Campbell shot down any question that dealt with division. Campbell’s attitude set the tone for that season and it carried over to 2023, in which Iowa’s offense posted the Big Ten’s worst statistical numbers in nearly 40 years. Yet there was no sniping, let alone dissension. The team eventually claimed the Big Ten West Division crown.
• In 2004, Iowa started 2-2, including a 44-7 loss at Arizona State. Despite losing four scholarship running backs to injury, the Hawkeyes held it together with defense mixed with an occasional highlight-reel play. The Hawkeyes won their final eight games, claimed a share of the Big Ten title and won the Capital One Bowl with a 56-yard touchdown pass on the game’s final play.
That 2004 team was honored Saturday before the second quarter to rousing applause. One of its stars, defensive tackle Jonathan Babineaux, was Iowa’s honorary captain on Saturday. It was a team molded by adversity, and it charted an unconventional path of success. It even took a safety midway through the fourth quarter against Penn State in a 6-4 win. Ferentz gave the eulogy at his father’s funeral in Pittsburgh the day before that game.
Most teams would have crumbled in any of those situations, but Iowa never did.
Why? Ferentz.
“It’s definitely his leadership,” Higgins said. “He truly only cares about the guys in the locker room. When you’ve got a guy like that thinking you’re able to respond, it’s nice. He’s not gonna freak out. Doesn’t matter what the headline is. He’s not gonna come to the meeting room and read off the headlines. He keeps his voice, and we all respond off him. If he’s calm and he knows that we need to respond after a bad game or a tough situation, we’re all going to follow that.”
None of those anecdotes mean Ferentz is perfect. Far from it. Critiques are plentiful about his son, Brian, running his offense for seven years, especially when the final three were so rough. Brian remained in place until university president Barbara Wilson and athletic director Beth Goetz stepped in and dismissed him following the 2023 season. Other complaints about Ferentz’s game-day decision making are fair.
And in 2020, dozens of former players accused the program of racial insensitivity and bias, which was confirmed through an independent investigation. Instead of resisting necessary changes or stepping down, Ferentz opted for a new course. He accepted responsibility and sought counsel from former players, relieved longtime strength coach Chris Doyle and extended a leadership council to include more voices. Many arbitrary rules such as not using X or wearing hoodies in the football complex were vacated. Although some feel the changes didn’t go far enough — while others believed they went too far — there’s no doubt the program has become more welcoming to all players. Its attrition rate is among the lowest in the Big Ten, and it has won the third most games in the Big Ten since that season.
With Ferentz’s guidance, Iowa has punched well above its weight class.
Its recruiting rankings are closer to those of Illinois and Purdue than Michigan and Penn State, yet the Hawkeyes’ results are closer to the latter. Iowa finds ways to win where its peers fall short. It’s not always pretty and perhaps it won’t ever win the ultimate prize. But that Iowa remains anywhere near the College Football Playoff rankings most years is a credit to Ferentz.
“I appreciate him how much this program means to him,” Richman said. “When you get an appreciation like that, you’re less stressed out. With him at the helm, this place has a really special place in my heart and the hearts of many across the entire state.”

BetMGM College Football Odds: Iowa State by 3.
Series record: West Virginia leads 6-5.
WHAT’S AT STAKE?
Iowa State is off to its best start since 1980, and a win would make them 6-0 for the first time since 1938. The Cyclones are looking to extend their road winning streak to seven games. West Virginia is going after its third straight win after a 1-2 start. Iowa State and West Virginia are 2-0 in conference play. One of them will forge a first-place tie with idle Texas Tech.
KEY MATCHUP
Iowa State’s defense vs. West Virginia QB Garrett Greene. Of the dual-threat quarterbacks the Cyclones have faced so far, Greene could be the best. He had runs of 39, 15 and 10 yards against Oklahoma State last week and is averaging 5.4 yards per carry and 59 yards per game. Run defense hasn’t been a strength for the Cyclones, who hope to force Greene to try to beat them through the air. Iowa State has the Big 12’s top defense, allowing just 10 points and 272 yards per game.
PLAYERS TO WATCH
Iowa State: LB Kooper Ebel has led or co-led the team in tackles in three straight games. He made just three tackles in eight games as a freshman last year. He added 15 pounds to get up to 240 on his 6-foot-4 frame and has made at least six stops in all five games. Last week he had eight tackles and a quarterback hurry against Baylor.
West Virginia: RB Jahiem White. The sophomore ran for a season-high 158 yards in the lopsided win at Oklahoma State and the Mountaineers compiled 389 on the ground. White hopes to be back on track after being limited to 94 yards combined against No. 4 Penn State, No. 22 Pittsburgh and Kansas.
FACTS & FIGURES
Anthony Becht, a tight end for the Mountaineers from 1996 to 1999, will be honored during the game for his induction into the West Virginia Sports Hall of Fame. His son, Rocco, is Iowa State’s quarterback. … The Cyclones have won 12 straight when scoring at least 30 points. They’ve scored at least 30 in the last five meetings with WVU. … ISU had nine plays of 20 or more yards against Baylor last week, tied for the most by a Power Four team against a conference opponent this season. … The Cyclones’ defense gets better as the game progresses. They’re allowing an average of 4.0 points and 112 yards in the second halves. … West Virginia will wear all-black uniforms in honor of the state’s coal mining industry.
