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.

CLEVELAND -- Joey Bats and the Blue Jays forgot their bats.Torontos meaty lineup loaded with power hitters scored just one run in the first two games of the AL Championship Series, a stunning turn for a team that blasted baseballs against Texas.The Blue Jays managed just three hits in Saturdays 2-1 loss to the Cleveland Indians, who took a 2-0 lead as the series shifts to Canada.Everyone in this room is confident that we can get it done, Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson said. Were not out of it. I still believe we can do it.After hitting eight homers and scoring 22 runs in their Division Series sweep of the Rangers, Toronto entered the ALCS as a well-oiled machine.Its only thrown parts so far, and the Blue Jays are down 0-2 in the ALCS for the second straight year.Jose Bautista , the aforementioned Mr. Bats, is 0 for 6 with five strikeouts and has yet to put the ball in play. Russell Martin is 1 for 7 and has missed a couple chances to drive in runs. Edwin Encarnacion has grumbled about the strike zone, and the Blue Jays are batting .159 with just two extra-base hits and 25 strikeouts.Clevelands pitching, especially lights-out lefty reliever Andrew Miller, has had something to do with Torontos offensive malaise.Weve pitched well, theyve pitched well, said Donaldson, who has continued his torrid October and has three of Torontos 10 hits. Theyve just scored more runs than we have. Were going to get the last at-bat now and we feel confident about it.The Indians arent taking anything for granted. They know that the middle of Torontoss order -- Encarnacion, Bautista and Troy Tulowitzki -- remains dangerous.ddddddddddddThose big guys have been carrying that team for a few years now, Indians closer Cody Allen said. They can do some damage. They really make you think about how you want to attack. You cant stay in one spot. You cant get them out the same way every time. You try to make some good pitches and try to have some good luck.Maybe going home will help the Blue Jays, who went 46-35 at the rocking Rogers Centre and drew an AL-high 3.4 million fans in the regular season.Having home-field advantage is good -- and were going to need it, said left-hander J.A. Happ, who took the loss in Game 2, allowing two runs in five innings. Hopefully, we can feed off the fans.The Blue Jays won their only home game in the ALDS, beating Texas 7-6 in 10 innings on Oct. 9, when Donaldson dashed home with the winning run.Being at Rogers Centre makes all the difference in the world, second basemen Darwin Barney said. Its an opportunity for us to get back in it.Clevelands players know theyre heading into one of the games most hostile home environments.Its hockey fans and I mean that in the best way because Im a hockey fan too, said Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis, a die-hard Chicago Blackhawks fan. Theyre intense. They stand up for most of the entire game and theyre always into it, rallying their team.Right now, the Blue Jays would take any kind of rally. ' ' '
