IOWA CITY, Iowa -- With the biggest win in school history less than 3 yards away, North Dakota State went for two and failed.The Bison earned the ball back though -- and they finished off the programs signature victory by running the ball right at Iowa.Cam Pedersen kicked a 37-yard field as time expired and North Dakota State, of the FCS, rallied to beat No. 13 Iowa 23-21 on Saturday for its sixth straight win over an FBS opponent.The Bison went for a 2-point conversion down 21-20 with 3:41 left, but couldnt punch it in. North Dakota States defense then held, and quarterback Easton Sticks 29-yard run put the Bison in position for the biggest win in school history.If we didnt make it I thought we could stop them, North Dakota State coach Chris Klieman said. I thought our offense was kind of wearing them down.The loss was just the fourth by a ranked FBS team to an FCS school. North Dakota State isnt just another Football Championship Subdivision team, though. The Bison have won the last five FCS national titles.Against the Hawkeyes, they ran for 239 yards and held Iowa to 231 total yards. North Dakota States defense was at its best on Iowas final drive, sacking Iowas C.J. Beathard to give its offense one more shot.Stick had 124 yards passing and a touchdown for the Bison (3-0), who also snapped Iowas nine-game home winning streak.As an offense we preach: if we get the chance to end the game with the ball in our hands, we have to do it. We believe in Cam and we knew if we got the ball down there he could do it, Stick said.Beathard had three TD passes for Iowa (2-1). But the Hawkeyes ran for just 34 yards on 25 carries.Am I shocked that we lost? Yeah, to an extent. But these guys came ready to play, Iowa defensive tackle Jaleel Johnson said.THE TAKEAWAYIowa: The Hawkeyes can forget about the playoffs. Barring something extraordinary, its tough to imagine the committee letting in a team that lost to an FCS school -- even one as talented as North Dakota State.North Dakota State: North Dakota State is FCS is name only though. The Bisons blocking at every position was exactly how coaches draw it up, and they didnt commit a penalty in the first half. North Dakota State might not lose again all season -- and a sixth straight FCS title is a distinct possibility.POLL IMPLICATIONSIowa will likely lose its spot in the Top 25. The bigger question is how many votes the Bison will receive. The Associated Press began allowing voters to put FCS schools on their ballots after Appalachian State stunned Michigan in 2007.NOTABLESThe Hawkeyes were without starting offensive linemen Sean Welsh and James Daniels, and it showed in the run game. The huge holes that Iowas backs had to run through in its first two games were largely non-existent. ...Iowa began the second half with a 62-yard run by LeShun Daniels Jr. that put it at NDSUs 3 up 14-7. But a hold brought the play back. Its like baseball. When you walk a guy in the ninth inning, invariably it comes back and gets you, Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said. ...Iowa nearly lost to an FCS school in 2009, when it had to block back-to-back field goals to hold off Northern Iowa. The Hawkeyes went on to win the Orange Bowl that season.THE LAST WORDWe came here to win. Period, Klieman said on his decision to go for two down 21-20.UP NEXTIowa: The Hawkeyes open their first nine-game Big Ten season with a trip to Rutgers next weekend, their first road game and their first-ever against the Scarlet Knights. It should be, along with an October 15 meeting at Purdue, the easiest game the Hawkeyes will play outside of Iowa City.North Dakota State: The Bison return home to face a decent Missouri State team in their league opener.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Yelena Isinbayeva walked away from competing but not from her sport on Friday.The womens pole vault world record holder announced her retirement as she focuses on a new career in sports politics and considers an offer to lead Russian track and field.Isinbayeva was prevented from seeking a third Olympic title in Rio de Janeiro after the IAAF banned all but one Russian track and field athlete from the games over their countrys state-sponsored doping scandal.She still traveled to Rio to campaign in the election for the athletes representative on the International Olympic Committee. A day after being among the four winning candidates, the 34-year-old Isinbayeva decided she doesnt want to compete anymore.Today in Rio on August 19 2016, Yelena Isinbayeva is finishing her professional career, she said close to the end of a 50-minute news conference.Yesterdays election to the IOC commission inspired me, Isinbayeva added through a translator. It means I am not saying goodbye to the sport. I say goodbye to the pole, to my medals ... I fulfilled my dreams.And without doping, she maintains.I have proved it again and again, she said. All my tests were negative.One of her priorities now is campaigning for Russias IAAF suspension to be lifted so fellow clean athletes can resume their professional careers. Isinbayeva could be taking on that mission as the top administrator in Russian athletics.I have received an offer to head up the federation, Isinbayeva said. It is an interesting offer but it is also a serious challenge.When I get back from the Olympics I will meet the president of the federation. We will talk about my future role. I find it very interesting ... I think I can bring thhe federation back into the IAAF fold.ddddddddddddIsinbayeva remains aggrieved about the IAAFs treatment of Russia. She said it speaks volumes about the IAAF leadership that they didnt congratulate her for being one of four successful candidates in the IOC athletes commission election.I am a bit offended, she said. We are the same team ... but for some reason I didnt receive any congratulations.Although Isinbayeva said she forgives IAAF President Sebastian Coe for the injustice of banning Russia, she said: Let it be on their conscience. God will be their judge.Isinbayeva also railed against the unfair investigations by the World Anti-Doping Agency, which has published reports in the last year by investigators Dick Pound and Richard McLaren.All of the accusations that have leveled have been built upon assumptions, there are no facts, no proof but for some reason (McLarens) assumptions were sufficient to raise the question of banning the entire Russian team (from the Olympics), Isinbayeva said. I would like to see more facts, more specific proof against specific athletes.She urged sports administrators to be dignified in developing sport rather than fostering some useful war.Isinbayeva won gold medals at the 2004 Athens Olympics and 2008 Beijing Games. She took bronze four years ago in London and will be elsewhere in Rio rather than watching the womens Olympic pole vault final on Friday night.When you compete without Isinbayeva this isnt going to be a fully-fledged gold medal, she said---Rob Harris at www.twitter.com/RobHarris and www.facebook.com/RobHarrisReports Wholesale Hoodies NFL Shirts Outlet Jerseys NFL Wholesale Cheap NFL Jerseys Free Shipping Wholesale Jerseys Cheap Cheap NFL Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
