IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Outside of senior Matt VandeBerg, Iowas wide receivers have been mostly disappointing this season.The Hawkeyes likely wont be able to overcome the struggles of that unit much longer after losing VandeBerg to an injury.VandeBerg hurt his right foot in a non-contact drill during practice on Monday. Coach Kirk Ferentz said Tuesday that VandeBerg is out indefinitely that Iowa would look into the possibility of a medical redshirt if he cant return in 2016.VandeBerg caught a team-high 19 passes for 284 yards and three touchdowns through four games, including a seven-reception performance in a blowout win over Iowa State.You cant really describe how much he means to our team, running back LeShun Daniels Jr. said. With him not being out there, its just a different feel.The loss of VandeBerg, quarterback C.J. Beathards most trusted option in the passing game, could end up being a big blow to an offense that has scored just 35 points in its last two games. The Hawkeyes (3-1) host Northwestern (1-3) on Saturday.Even when VandeBerg was around to draw the opposing defenses attention, Iowas receivers still struggled to get open.Sophomore Jerminic Smith has seven catches for 97 yards and a touchdown. Jay Scheel, a four-star recruit who made the transition from high school quarterback, battled injuries through camp and earlier this season. Hes caught just one pass, a 12-yarder, in his first season as a contributor.Senior Riley McCarron has earned Ferentzs repeated praise for his improvement. McCarron is averaging just 18.8 yards receiving per game though, and hes hardly considered the kind of player that defenses have to game plan for.But Ferentz said he expects VandeBergs teammates to make up for his absence.This is hardly a crisis stage. I mean, were all really sorry Matt got hurt. Dont get me wrong. Im not minimizing that. But hey, were going to play, Ferentz said.Iowa also have some options in the passing game beyond its receivers.Tight end George Kittle has blossomed from a blocker capable of making the occasional big play to a crucial piece of the offense. He has 191 yards receiving, including a 36-yard TD catch in last weeks ugly 14-7 win at Rutgers.Akrum Wadley, who shares running back duties with Daniels, has proven he can be a receiving threat out of the backfield, as evidenced by a 26-yard touchdown catch in that win over the Cyclones.But Iowa will be in big trouble if its young receivers cant make their opponents respect them. That could allow defenses to focus on stopping Iowas running game.Beathard said he intends to put his trust in his young receivers.Its tough to tell right now who will go in there. Im sure well try some things out, Beathard said. It doesnt matter if hes a young or an old guy. You have to go out there with the mentality that hes going to be in the right place at the right time.---Online: www.collegefootball.ap.org Davante Adams Jersey .

PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Pirates patiently waited six years for former No. 2 overall draft pick Jameson Taillon to make the major leagues. So far, hes been worth the wait.The Pirates didnt call up Taillon until two months into the season but, thanks to several reshufflings of their rotation, hes now settled into what effectively is the No. 2 man in their rotation. And its taken Taillon only nine starts in the big leagues to do that.Taillon will make start No. 10 Thursday afternoon against the San Diego Padres after going 2-2 with a 3.29 ERA, 43 strikeouts and only six walks in 52 innings during his first nine starts.Taillon has been in the majors long enough that he doesnt feel like a rookie any longer, even though he clearly is.The 24-year-old Taillons latest start was typical of the way hes pitched to date; he gave up only one run in six innings Friday against the Cincinnati Reds, although he didnt get the decision in a game the Pirates won 3-2.Hes got some tools to work with, and hes learning more each and every time out there, Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. It was another night for him to grow.Taillon is quickly growing into an irreplaceable piece of the Pirates pitching puzzle.He has allowed only eight earned runs in 30 innings over his last five starts, walking a single batter. Not surprisingly, the Pirates have won five of his last six starts, even though the right-hander was on the disabled list with right shoulder fatigue from July 5-19.Taillon hasnt won since June 29 at Seattle, or at all in five starts at PNC Park, but the Pirates are 4-1 in those games.Taillon will oppose Padres left-hander Christian Friedrich (4-7, 4.76 ERA), who makes his ninnth start on the road of his 16 overall starts.dddddddddddd. Friedrich pitched a season-high seven innings in his last start Aug. 5 vs. the Philadelphia Phillies, permitting four runs and five hits.Friedrich, like Taillon, is a former first-round draft pick -- and one of 13 starters the Padres have used this season.For the most part, I thought he was really good all day, Padres manager Andy Green said -- with the exceptions being the home run and double he allowed to the Phillies Cameron Rupp.The Padres and Pirates will play for the sixth and final time this season, with the Padres leading the season series 3-2 following their 4-0 win Wednesday behind Edwin Jackson and two relievers, who combined to allow only two singles.San Diego is one of the more aggressive teams in the majors stealing bases -- theyre third in the majors with 99 steals -- and that was evident Wednesday as Travis Jankowski pulled off a rare steal of home in the eighth inning.Jankowski detected that reliever Antonio Bastardo wasnt watching him closely as the left-hander focused on his matchup with Alex Dickerson, so he took off for the plate and scored as catcher Eric Fryer fumbled Bastardos hurried throw home.We run the bases with a ton of aggression and steal a lot of bases -- but we take whats given to us, Green said. That was probably more of a gamble ... but it worked out because Travis has the ability to create anxiety in other people when hes running the bases. He took it upon himself (to go) ... and if youre going to take a chance, thats the time to take one.
