WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- For Iowa, the trend of playing its finest football when on the road continues. For Purdue, the unpleasant trend of failing to win back-to-back games at any point in fourth-year coach Darrell Hazells time with the Boilermakers also continues.?Iowa scored touchdowns on five of its six opening-half possessions and defeated Purdue 49-35 on Saturday, winning its school-record ninth consecutive road game.The Hawkeyes (5-2, 3-1 Big Ten) broke the former school record of eight consecutive road victories set from 1920-23. Of the nine consecutive road triumphs, eight have been against Big Ten opponents.Purdue, now 9-33 in Hazells tenure -- including 3-24 in Big Ten play -- has lost the week following each of its three victories this season by an average margin of 25 points.For Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz, the road winning streak is a special accomplishment.Our guys do a good job when they get on the bus, Ferentz said. They really are focused on what were trying to get done. It is a business-like atmosphere when we come to different environments, but the game is still played on the field. A key is that we have had good leadership and good maturity.Iowa, 3-0 this season in Big Ten road games, completely dominated the first two quarters, running 41 plays for 397 yards, successfully converting 7 of 8 third-down opportunities.Hawkeye quarterback C.J. Beathard ran 16 yards for one touchdown and passed 42 yards to wide receiver Riley McCarron for another first-half TD.Running back LeShun Daniels ran 1 and 4 yards for Iowa touchdowns, and Akrum Wadley added a 75-yard TD run with?1:18 ?remaining in the second quarter, giving the Hawkeyes a 35-7 lead through 30 minutes.We wanted to get off to a fast start offensively, Beathard said. Going back to last weeks game against Minnesota, we didnt play well offensively. We came out and scored on our first couple of drives and then did all right today.Wadley said the Hawkeyes were eager to improve their overall rushing attack and do so at Purdues expense.We had some big runs out of the shotgun, which we worked on in practice this week and then had the right calls at the right time in the game today, Wadley said. At the beginning of the season, Daniels and I talked about having a game when we both rushed for over 100 yards. Today, that was the first game it happened.Wadley averaged 12.1 yards per carry with a long run of 75, and Daniels added a 67-yard run.Beathard said that made his job easy.When you can get both of those guys touches, and with the offensive line working the way they were working today opening up holes, they turn 8-yard runs into the long ones you saw today, Beathard said.Purdues David Blough threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to tight end Brycen Hopkins and a 53-yard touchdown pass to tight end Cole Herdman, trimming the Iowa lead to 35-14, but Beathard countered with a 5-yard TD pass to Noah Fant, giving the Hawkeyes a 42-14 advantage.Bloughs 7-yard touchdown pass to Bilal Marshall with?8:40 ?remaining pulled the Boilermakers (3-3, 1-2) to within 42-21, and his 54-yard TD pass to DeAngelo Yancey with?5:36 ?left cut the deficit to 42-28.Iowa cornerback Desmond Kings 41-yard interception return for a touchdown with?1:44 ?remaining capped the Iowa scoring before Blough threw his fifth TD pass -- a 37-yarder to Hopkins -- with 17 seconds on the clock.Blough finished 30 of 60 for 458 yards.We didnt do a good job with getting off to a good start, Purdue coach Darrell Hazell said. Every time we felt we were flipping momentum, they hit a big (play) on us. Something we have to get settled right now is stopping the long run. Thats killing us right now.Iowa rushed 53 times for 365 yards and added 155 passing yards.While Bloughs final numbers were impressive, he said his performance was not good enough.We have to do it from the start, not against reserves or second-stringers, Blough said.TAKEAWAYS:IOWA: The Hawkeyes had two backs each rush for more than 100 yards in the same game for the first time since 2008 (Wadley, 170 yards; Daniels, 156). Although the Hawkeyes stumbled at home against North Dakota State and Northwestern, they have been excellent away from Iowa City, winning at Rutgers, at Minnesota and now at Purdue.PURDUE: While the Boilermakers played without three injured defensive starters -- tackle Jake Replogle, linebacker JaWhaun Bentley and cornerback Myles Norwood -- Purdue was flat after winning last week at Illinois. The Boilermakers now are 0-9 in the next game following a victory during Hazells four seasons at Purdue. The Boilermakers also played without defensive backs Brandon Roberts and David Rose, who were suspended for what Hazell called personal conduct issues.KEY STAT:Purdue entered the game ranked last in opponents third-down conversion success at 50.6 percent (40 of 79), and Iowa took advantage, converting 9 of 16. Before playing the Boilermakers, the Hawkeyes ranked 10th in Big Ten third-down conversion success at 36.7 percent (22 of 60).UGLY NUMBERS:Purdue now is 0-4 in homecoming games during Hazells four seasons with the Boilermakers and has been outscored 176-83 in those four defeats.QUOTE TO NOTE:Theres no question we are moving forward and are doing a lot of good things, Hazell said when asked if he is the right man to lead the Purdue program despite a 9-33 record.UP NEXT:IOWA: The Hawkeyes return home to face Wisconsin.PURDUE: The Boilermakers travel to Nebraska. Purdue upset the Cornhuskers 55-45 -- one of Hazells three Big Ten victories in his four seasons. Wholesale Air Jordan 13 For Sale .

That left plenty of energy for pitching books and swatting away free agency questions. Anthony had 24 points and nine rebounds, and the Knicks avenged an embarrassing home loss with a rout of their own, beating the Boston Celtics 114-88 on Wednesday night for their third straight victory. http://www.cheapairjordan13china.com/ . The giant slalom world champion slipped during her first run in the morning, landing on her back and then twisting forward before getting her leg caught in the protective material on the side of the slope. Cheap Real Jordans . Perhaps Carroll was so prepared for a break because he believes there is very little the Seattle Seahawks need heading into the off-season. "I dont see anything that we need to add. We just have to get better," Carroll said. Discount Air Jordan 13 Shoes . -- The Bishops Gaiters are showing they belong among the countrys top varsity football teams.SASKATOON -- In most other years, London Knights forward Max Domi would probably garner more attention at the MasterCard Memorial Cup. The son of former tough guy Tie Domi is expected to be taken in the first round of next months NHL draft, but with the three top North American-based prospects all playing at the Credit Union Centre, the 2013 edition of Canadian Hockey Leagues showcase event is far from normal. That suits Domi and a host of other potential picks just fine. NHL scouts have descended on the 10-day tournament as top prospects Seth Jones of the Portland Winterhawks, and Nathan MacKinnon and Jonathan Drouin, both of the Halifax Mooseheads, play their final games ahead of the draft. Having the trio in one place means that other players expected to have their names called early on June 30 in Newark, N.J., can focus on the tournament. "I know those guys pretty well and theyre great guys and awesome hockey players," said Domi, who is ranked at No. 19 among North American skaters by NHL Central Scouting. "Were just worried about how the London Knights play and not really anything else to be honest. We focus on ourselves and the team and let the rest take care of itself." Knights teammate Bo Horvat, who is ranked 15th, says that although the draft is never completely out of his mind, the goal in Saskatoon is to win the CHL title. "Theres always competition but Ive played on teams with them before and were all good friends," he said. "I dont feel the pressure. Youve just got to play your game and not worry about the draft too much and just focus on the team aspect. "Theres definitely a lot of prospects here and a lot good hockey players looking to raise their stock." A player who has made one of the biggest jumps from the mid-season rankings to now is London defenceman Nikita Zadorov. The six-foot-five Russian scored the winnner in the Knights 3-2 tournament-opening victory over the Saskatoon Blades and has moved up eight spots to No.dddddddddddd 22 on the North American draft list. Knights coach Dale Hunter says despite being overshadowed by Jones, MacKinnon and Drouin at the Memorial Cup, his players are worthy of the billing theyve received from scouts. "Max and Bo, you can see what they did for us. Theyre young men, just like the Halifax boys and (Jones) from Portland. They both come to play," Hunter said. "Theyre all good players and thats why theyre ranked so high in the draft and deservedly so." Halifax goalie Zachary Fucale, who is listed as the No. 1 netminder in North America and played with both MacKinnon and Drouin for the last two seasons, has witnessed the hype surrounding his teammates. He says the looming draft and playing with and against top talent doesnt change his mindset. "I just concentrate on helping the team," he said. "We were all in this, us three together and I dont think one of us was ahead of the other. We were just playing for the team." Portland forward Nicolas Petan says he enjoys being on the ice against the best junior hockey has to offer. "It obviously elevates your game," said Petan, who is ranked No. 33. "It definitely motivates me to play against the guys who are ranked really high." Domi has an extra edge in terms of preparing for the draft in the form of his famous father, who actually played in a Memorial Cup in Saskatoon as a member of the 1989 Peterborough Petes. "Hes my dad so I talk to him quite a bit about hockey," the younger Domi said. "Hes been through all of this. We joke around about that a little bit. He played 17 years in the NHL so I bounce questions off him all the time and he helps me out a lot. "Having my dad in my back pocket is huge." ' ' '
