导出博客文章MINNEAPOLIS -- Iowa was reeling from a pair of losses to teams the Hawkeyes were
favored to beat, pushing that 12-0 regular season from 2015 to the back of the
memory bank.They got back on track with a gritty victory over rival
Minnesota.Akrum Wadley took off for a 54-yard touchdown run with 5:28 left and
the Hawkeyes hung on to beat the Gophers 14-7 on Saturday to hoist the Floyd of
Rosedale trophy for the second straight year.We just kept grinding, said Wadley,
who had 14 carries for 107 yards for Iowa (4-2, 2-1 Big Ten), who matched the
program record with an eighth straight road win despite two interceptions thrown
by C.J. Beathard.Iowa has won four of the last five meetings and 12 of 16.
Minnesota still leads the overall series 62-46-2.I would like to say we wanted
it more, said Beathard, whose streak with a touchdown pass in nine straight
games was stopped.Floyd, the 98-pound bronze pig first awarded in 1935 as a bet
between the governors of the two states, mustve felt unwanted for most of the
game.Mitch Leidner completed only 13 of 33 passes for 166 yards and was also
picked off twice for the Gophers (3-2, 0-2), who were flagged eight times for 58
yards and lead the conference in penalties.After one of Ryan Santosos nine punts
went only 30 yards, Wadley scored on the next play. Sophomore safety Jacob Huff,
subbing for an injured Antoine Winfield Jr., went the wrong way at the snap and
missed a futile diving attempt at the tackle. LeShun Daniels Jr. ran in the
2-point conversion.Sooner or later, they slip up and it will be a long one,
Wadley said. Either LeShun or me was going to hit it.The Gophers overcame
Leidners second interception and regained the ball with no timeouts and 86
seconds remaining. Leidner moved the ball to the 13 with four completions, but
his fourth-down fade throw to Brian Smith in the end zone fell short with 43
seconds left.This one really hurt, Gophers linebacker Jonathan Celestin said,
especially losing at home.Shannon Brooks gave Minnesota a 7-6 lead midway
through the third quarter with a 9-yard run, but the Gophers didnt take full
advantage of an Iowa defense that was leaking an average of 183 rushing yards
per game. Brooks and Rodney Smith combined for only 21 carries.I think the holes
were there, Brooks said. Maybe try to break more tackles.THE TAKEAWAYIOWA: Kept
alive the hope of winning the West Division again, recovering from a homecoming
loss to Northwestern with a performance that wasnt pretty but still a winner.
The Hawkeyes get both Wisconsin and Nebraska at home this season.This win
defines our season, cornerback Desmond King said.MINNESOTA: Struggled all
afternoon to sustain drives, let alone score, after totaling 86 points in the
last two games against Iowa. Leidner didnt complete a pass until less than 4 1/2
minutes were left in the first half, and his throw into double coverage at the
Iowa 35 later on that possession was picked off.He never could set his feet
because he had to get the hell out of the way, coach Tracy Claeys said. They
were just squeezing the pocket, and the protection wasnt any good, and I think
that leads to some inaccuracies.FRONT FIVEThe Hawkeyes were unable to
consistently protect Beathard, who was hampered by a handful of drops by their
receivers. Twice they reached the 10 and settled for a short field goal by Keith
Duncan. The run blocking was better, though, with Cole Croston (right tackle),
Boone Myers (left tackle) and Ike Boettger (left guard) in new spots on the
line.HUNGRY HARDINCornerback KiAnte Hardin, one of four players on Minnesotas
defense reinstated this week from suspension after an alleged sexual assault
investigation produced no charges, returned to the starting lineup with seven
tackles and his first career interception off a pass he tipped in the end zone
and returned 31 yards .UP NEXTIOWA: Travels to face Purdue, where theyve won
three times in a row.MINNESOTA: Plays at Maryland, the first regular season game
between the two teams. The Terrapins beat Minnesota in the 1977 Hall of Fame
Bowl.---Online:

.J. -- New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz will miss the rest of the
season after having surgery on his left knee.
Replica Shoes 2019 . Following a
lopsided 5-2 loss against the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday night, Paul MacLean
told reporters that "theres a lack of focus, theres a lack of leadership and
theres a lack of preparation" with his struggling team. That came on the heels
of Bryan Murray taking the unusual step of going into the locker room at the
Prudential Center and addressing the players himself.
Fake Shoes From China . He was
followed closely by David Clarkson, donning red, seconds later. Clarksons
actions one night earlier, leaping off the bench in defence of Kessel during a
pre-season game against the Buffalo Sabres, will cost him the first 10 games of
the regular season. HOUSTON -- The Houston Texans proved they were serious about
upgrading their offense this offseason by luring Brock Osweiler from Denver with
a four-year, $72 million contract. Now its time to see if the quarterback was
worth it.All eyes will be on Osweiler when the Texans begin training camp on
July 31 -- especially with star defensive end sidelined by a back injury.Im
impressed with Brock, probably most of all in his ability to learn our system,
our operation, coach Bill OBrien said. Its not easy to come in here and learn
how we operate as an offense, how we meet, how we call plays at the line of
scrimmage, how we teach defense ... were really happy with his progress.On
Thursday night, a person familiar with Watts condition said the star defender
has had back surgery and will begin training camp on the physically unable to
perform list. The person spoke to The Associated Press on on condition of
anonymity because the team hasnt confirmed the surgery or Watts roster
status.Watt, the NFL sacks leader last season with 17 1/2, will miss the start
of training camp, but is expected to be ready for the season opener. Watt spent
most of the offseason recovering after having surgery to repair a groin injury
in January.Watts still looking to do more in 2016 and said he never watches his
highlights, instead viewing his bad plays to figure out how to get better.Theres
so many great players in this league, and you want to learn and grow as much as
you can and gain as much information as you can so that you can improve your own
game, Watt said.Osweiler has started just seven games in his four-year NFL
career and they were all last season. He was presumed to be Denvers starter this
season after Peyton Mannings retirement, but he signed with Houston for
megabucks instead.He joins an offense highlighted by star receiver DeAndre
Hopkins, who finished third in the NFL with 1,521 yards receiving last season,
and that added running back Lamar Miller in free agency, then got receivers Will
Fuller and Braxton Miller in the draft.The Texans overcame quarterback woes last
season to finish 9-7 and reach the playoffs for the first time since 2012. They
were ousted in the wild-card round by Kansas City after Brian Hoyer committed
five turnovers in the 30-0 loss.Now Osweiler takes over and he feeels good about
his grasp of Houstons offense after the work he got in practices and minicamp
this spring and early this summer.dddddddddddd Hes looking to take his
understanding to another level in camp.Its just focusing on the details of our
offense, he said. Theres a lot of things that go into it -- formations, motions,
shifts, different cadences, different route concepts, run checks, pass checks --
and so its just focusing on the details and focusing on the line-of-scrimmage
operation.Some things to know about the Texans, who open the season Sept. 11
against the Chicago Bears:EXPECTATIONS FOR CLOWNEY: Outside linebacker Jadeveon
Clowney is entering his third NFL season and so far the No. 1 overall pick in
the 2014 draft has failed to live up to expectations during two injury-plagued
seasons. Clowney played just four games as a rookie before having season-ending
microfracture surgery. He recovered from that for the start of last season, but
missed three games and Houstons playoff match with various ailments. He did show
flashes of the potential he displayed in college, though, and finished with 4
1/2 sacks and forced a fumble.Its frustrating. It feels like youre letting the
team down when youre not out there, Clowney said. Injuries happen, youve just
got to be mentally tough to come back and show the guys you are ready to
play.MILLERS POTENTIAL: The Texans snagged an intriguing player when they
drafted Braxton Miller in the third round. Miller was the two-time Big Ten
offensive player of the year in 2012 and 2013 after throwing from more than
2,000 yards and rushing for more than 1,000 in both of those seasons. He sat out
for a season with a shoulder injury before moving to receiver last year, when he
finished with 26 receptions for 341 yards.Miller is happy with his progress
since making the move.NEW CENTER: The Texans will likely have rookie
second-round pick Nick Martin at center after Ben Jones, who started every game
the last two seasons, signed with Titans. He is the younger brother of Zack
Martin, a first-round pick by the Cowboys in 2014 and a two-time Pro-Bowler at
guard.---AP NFL website:
