Denver 21, Carolina 20
DENVER – Denver’s dominant defense came up big against Cam Newton again and the Broncos escaped with a 21-20 victory over the Carolina Panthers in a Super Bowl rematch when Graham Gano missed a 50-yard field goal with four seconds remaining. Trevor Siemian, Peyton Manning’s successor, finished 18 of 26 for 178 yards, one TD and two interceptions and managed the game just well enough for the Broncos to continue their hex on the Panthers.

FRIDAY RESULTS – September 9
(high school football)
LE MARS — Junior quarterback Gabe Eckstaine had another stellar night for the Bulldogs Friday, throwing for five touchdowns and 271 yards, to lead Le Mars to a 40-12 win over No. 6 Spirit Lake in the opening night of District football. Eckstaine fired scoring passes to four different receivers with Tyson Weiler hauling in a pair of TD tosses. Kyle Kliever, Collin Nemmers and Justin Allaway were also on the receiving end of Eckstaine scoring passes. Cody Franck had one of six interceptions for the Bulldogs’ defense and returned it for a touchdown with 4:28 to play in the first half as Le Mars roared to a 22-12 halftime advantage. The Dogs rolled up 379 yards of offense Friday while improving to 3-and-0 for the first time since 2012. Le Mars travels to Sergeant Bluff-Luton Friday in a key early season Class 3A District 1 match-up. The game will be carried on KLEM.
ONAWA — Gehlen Catholic improved to 2-and-1 with a 47-14 rout over West Monona down at Onawa Friday night as District football opened for both schools. Alec Langel hauled in a pair of Cole Wiltgen touchdown passes and intercepted two Spartan passes in the first half to lead the Jays to a 19-0 halftime lead. 300-pound defensive tackle John Jungers scooped up a fumble and ran 28 yards for his first career touchdown in the opening minute of the second half to jump-start a three touchdown third quarter blitz by the Jays that put them in front 40-0. Elijah Freking followed Jungers rumble to the end zone with his second score of the night and Eli Ellensohn ran 16 yards for a third quarter touchdown. With the clock in fast mode, the Jays ran their J-V squad out for much of the rest of the game. West Monona, still using their varsity offense against Gehlen’s J-V defense, scored twice in the fourth quarter on runs by John Rahilly and Dylan Collison. Isaac Herbst returned a kickoff 80 yards in the fourth quarter for Gehlen’s final touchdown. The Jays celebrate homecoming Friday against Woodbury Central at Jim Lorenzen Field.

IOWA CITY — C.J. Beathard threw for 235 yards and three touchdowns and 16th-ranked Iowa throttled Iowa State 42-3 on Saturday night, its biggest win over the rival Cyclones in 18 seasons under coach Kirk Ferentz. LeShun Daniels rushed for 112 yards and a TD to help the Hawkeyes (2-0) beat Iowa State in consecutive seasons for the first time in six years. Beathard put the game out of reach with the three TD passes in the first half — including a brilliant 12-yard toss to a heavily defended Matt VandeBerg. VandeBerg finished with 129 yards receiving, and Allen Lazard caught seven passes for 111 yards. By jumping out to a big lead, the Hawkeyes negated Iowa State’s efforts to get star back Mike Warren going after a rough opener. Warren, who led all freshmen nationally with 1,337 yards a year ago, had just 28 on seven carries. Joel Lanning was 8 of 20 for 86 yards and an interception for Iowa State and was pulled late in the third quarter for Jacob Park, setting up a potential quarterback controversy just two games into the season.
