fourth quarter, the cornhuskers drove 75 yards down the field and scored on tommy armstrong's second touchdown run of the day. but nebraska couldn't convert on a two-point attempt that would have tied the game - and never got the ball back. the blackshirts finished the game with a higher time of possession, more first downs and more total yards - but not more points. "football is a crazy game," said junior wide receiver jordan westerkamp. "a lot of ups and downs.s.t's kind of a roller coaster ride, and we're on it right now in full force, but we'll be okay." "we can just sit down and accept what's happening, or we can move forward and try to improve, try to improve in practice, have the right mindset going into practice and making sure that we're looking out for the guy to our left and our right, and that's our teammates," said junior quarterback tommy armstrong. nebraska will look to get it right next week, when they're on the road at purdue. iowa was off this week - but the hawkeyes still move into the top 10 of the new ap poll, thanks to losses by then number 3 utah and then number 9 florida state. it's iowa's first top 10 ranking since the

longest run in the n-f-l this season. minnesota trailed the entire first half but comes back for the 28-19 win. sad news out of minneapolis - minnesota timberwolves head coach and president of basketball operations flip saunders has died at the age of 60. saunders was diagnosed with hodgkins lymphoma in june, and had planned to remain in a head coaching role before it was announced in september that he would miss this entire season. saunders won over 650 games in his 17-year head coaching career, that included stints with the timberwolves, detroit pistons and washington wizards. in three years throwing discus for kingsley- pierson/woodbury central, kiana phelps has become one of the most decorated track athletes siouxland has ever seen. a three-time drake relays and class 2a state champion, phelps holds the state record in the discus, throwing 179 feet, 7 inches her

"i just felt really motivated to perform when i was there," said phelps. "there's just so much history in eugene. it's just a great place to be to be surrrounded by those kind of people to drive you to be great." "to see it pay off like this is incredible, and now i can just kind of sit back and relax. i signed with a school, i've done all that, and now i can just focus on the track and field season of 2016." at the state track and field meet in the spring, phelps set a new all-class meet record with a throw of 166 feet, 4 inches.
