IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Funny things tend to happen when Iowa and Iowa State get together.This years matchup was a record-setting rout for the Hawkeyes -- and it ended with a wedding engagement for one of Iowas biggest stars.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.Matt VandeBerg had 129 yards receiving and a touchdown for the Hawkeyes. But VandeBergs performance will likely be his second favorite memory of a night he finished by proposing to his girlfriend, who said yes.Asked if he wouldve popped the question had Iowa lost, Vandeberg joked that we didnt lose, so I dont have to answer that question.Losing never seemed like an option for Iowa.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 VandeBerg.Certain games, when you get a couple of completions and you get in a groove, said Beathard, who was 19-of-28 passing. The guys were making the plays that needed to be made.By jumping out to a big lead, the Hawkeyes negated Iowa States 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.I think well sit down and figure that situation out and really make the best decision as we move forward, Iowa State coach Matt Campbell said.THE TAKEAWAYIOWA: The Hawkeyes offense has the potential to be one of the best that Ferentz has ever had. Iowa did basically whatever it wanted in the first half, gaining 153 yards in the air, 113 on the ground and scoring 28 points. Beathard and VandeBerg, both seniors, hooked up for a number of tough receptions in tight windows and Daniels and Akrum Wadley -- who had a rushing and receiving TD -- combined for their second straight strong performance. Its a lot of hard work. Everyone was doing an excellent job of executing on the offensive side of the ball, Daniels said.IOWA STATE: Former coach Paul Rhoads said in his final press conference that the Cyclones would go to a bowl in 2016. That looks highly unlikely -- and its only the middle of September. Iowa State was hoping to pull off an upset over the favored Hawkeyes like it did in 2012 and 2014. But by the middle of the first quarter, it was clear they didnt have a chance.POLL IMPLICATIONSThe Hawkeyes could potentially move up a few spots -- simply because theyve done what they were expected to do while other teams have stumbled.NOTABLESIowa State had a fourth-down and 1 at the Iowa 36 late in the first half down 28-3. The Cyclones were flagged for an illegal formation, and Lanning was sacked to end the half. Iowa State was also called for two ineligible receiver penalties in three plays in the fourth quarter. ...Allen Lazard had 111 yards receiving in a losing effort.THE LAST WORDFalse start. Everybody but the center, Referee Mike Defee said after penalizing Iowa in the first quarter. The flag didnt matter though, as the Hawkeyes opened the scoring two plays later on Beathards TD pass to George Kittle.UP NEXTIOWA: The Hawkeyes will host five-time defending FCS national champion North Dakota State next week in their final nonconference game. The Bison beat Eastern Washington 50-44 on overtime Saturday.IOWA STATE: The Cyclones open Big 12 play on the road against TCU.

Santa Clara guard Jared Brownridge scored 44 points against Arizona last season. He gets another bite at the Wildcats on Thursday night.The eighth-ranked Wildcats (4-0) will try to find a way to slow down Brownridge when the teams meet in the bracketed part of the Continental Tire Las Vegas Invitational at 10:30 p.m. ET.Arizona escaped with a 75-73 overtime win over the Broncos last season in a tournament in Fullerton, Calif.They should have beaten us last year, Arizona coach Sean Miller said. No one knows that more than them.That was a career game for Brownridge, but it was no fluke. The senior earned first-team All-West Coast Conference honors last season, finishing 21st nationally in scoring at 20.3 points per game. He is averaging 16.8 points this season and is coming off a 32-point effort Monday night, when Santa Clara (3-2) beat visiting Sacred Heart 84-74.Miller will likely turn to senior guard Kadeem Allen, the teams best perimeter defender who has made his way back from a left knee sprain. He played 35 minutes Monday night as Arizona finally pulled away to beat Northern Colorado 71-55.I think hes back, Miller said after the game. He was clearly better tonight. And we needed him.Brownridge drains 41 percent of his shots from behind the arc over his career, but he started this season just 4 of 29. He was 7 of 15 on 3-pointers Monday night.It was so great to see Jared shoot the basketball and score like we all know hes capable of, Broncos coach Herb Sendek said. He was really hitting his sshots and that really helped us get going on offense.ddddddddddddSendek is in his first season at Santa Clara, and his presence provides another twist to the matchup.Miller was an assistant to Sendek for a combined five years over stops at Miami of Ohio and North Carolina State. Then they were rivals when Miller took the Arizona head coaching job in 2009 while Sendek was the head coach at Arizona State.Sendek was fired from ASU after the 2014-15 season following nine years on the job. Sendek, who was out of coaching last season, went 4-8 against Miller while at ASU.I respect Herb Sendek as much as any coach in our game. Consider him a friend, Miller said of the fellow Pittsburgh native.Santa Clara is lucky to have him as their coach. He returns to the game probably a better coach than he was in the last 20 years, and he has been a heck of a coach before he got to Santa Clara.Arizonas leading scorer is freshman forward Lauri Markkanen, a 7-footer who is averaging 19.5 points per game, as well as a team-high 8.3 rebounds. Freshmen are the Wildcats next two top scorers -- guard Kobi Simmons (12.0) and wing Rawle Alkins (11.3).Point guard Parker Jackson-Cartwright is coming off his first career double-double (15 points, 11 assists). He has 15 assists and one turnover in the past two games.The winner of Thursday nights game plays the winner of Vanderbilt/Butler on Friday. ' ' '
