IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Dragan Kesich made four field goals and Minnesota won at Iowa for the first time since 1999 to snap an eight-game losing streak in the series, holding the No. 24 Hawkeyes to 12 yards in the second half in a 12-10 victory Saturday. Down 10-3 at the half, the Gophers (4-3, 2-2 Big Ten) held Iowa (6-2, 3-2) to minus-2 yards in the third quarter. BIG PICTUREMinnesota: The Gophers, coming off an week, found enough points against the Hawkeyes, wearing them down in the second half while taking advantage of Iowa’s offensive ineptitude. Iowa: The Hawkeyes’ offensive problems haven’t shown signs of improving, and a defense that was wearing down in the second half couldn’t find a way to stop the Gophers.

“He’s just got a great command of the offense.”Michigan beat Minnesota on the road for the 18th straight time. The Wolverines have beaten the Gophers (3-3, 1-2) for the Little Brown Jug trophy 43 times in their last 47 matchups. This was Michigan's largest margin of victory in a Big Ten game since beating Rutgers 52-0 in 2019. Ohio State has the three longest Big Ten winning streaks in league history, including the 30-game record-setter from 2012-2015.

That marked the 10th straight season in which at least two Big Ten teams ranked in the top 10 in total defense. The last time the Big Ten had two teams rank in the top 15 in total offense was 2014. Washington ranked second, USC third, UCLA fourth and Oregon sixth nationally in total offense just last season. The arrivals of Harrell and Longo suggest Big Ten teams might start throwing the ball more often. “I definitely think football as a whole has kind of shifted to that spread offense, West Coast offense type of deal from Coach Leach,” Williams said.

☆ Biden Interior proposes leasing public lands for conservation
▼ + stars: | 2023-03-31 | by ( Emma Newburger | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

The Biden administration this week proposed a new rule that would allow the Interior Department to lease public lands for conservation, a process similar to how the agency delivers leases for oil and gas development and mining projects. The Interior on Thursday said establishing conservation leases would help states and companies offset the environmental impact of their development plans. Issuing conservation leases would generate revenue and make landscapes more resilient to climate change, Interior officials said. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland in a statement said the country's public lands are under mounting pressure amid unprecedented climate-related disasters like wildfires and drought. "We appreciate the meaningful conservation measures in this new rule that have the promise to advance biodiversity, climate resilience and equity on our public lands," O'Shea said.
