Iowa State tackle Brock Dagel out for season
Iowa State will be without a starter on offense for the rest of the season.
Redshirt junior Brock Dagel, the Cyclones left tackle, suffered a knee injury that required surgery, according to the Des Moines Register.
“Brock Dagel had surgery (Wednesday),” head coach Paul Rhoads said. “Brock is done for the season.”
After starting the first four games of the season, the 6-foot-8, 305-pound Dagel did not play in last Saturday’s game at Oklahoma State. Dagel, a native of Cherokee, Iowa, started 11 games at right tackle for the Cyclones in 2013.
Dagel is the third lineman for Iowa State to go down with a season-ending injury. Fifth-year senior Ben Loth and sophomore Jacob Dunning, both reserves, also suffered serious leg injuries. Additionally, receivers Quenton Bundrage, Brett Medders and P.J. Harris are all out for the year, so the injury bug has been cruel to the Cyclones in 2014.
Coming off last weekend’s 37-20 loss to Oklahoma State, the 1-4 Cyclones will host Toledo Saturday afternoon.

West Virginia CB Daryl Worley reinstated after no-contest plea
West Virginia CB Daryl Worley is eligible to play Saturday against Texas Tech after he was reinstated by coach Dana Holgorsen.
Worley was suspended indefinitely in September after he was involved in an alleged altercation with a woman at a nightclub on September 14. Worley pled no contest to misdemeanor assault charges on Tuesday.
"Earlier today, I fully reinstated Daryl Worley to our football program," Holgorsen said in a statement. "The decision came after Daryl pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor assault charge stemming from an incident back in September."
As part of the no-contest plea, Worley received a six-month suspended sentence. From the West Virginia Metro News:
Prosecutors recommended a six-month jail term but did not oppose the defense’s request for a suspended sentence. The court afforded Worley unsupervised probation that extends through Aug 1, 2015.
While a no contest plea is not an admission of guilt, it carries the same legal weight as a conviction for sentencing.
As part of the altercation, Worley was alleged to have grabbed a woman by the throat and shoved her down. The incident was caught on surveillance cameras. Worley's lawyer said his client was protecting his girlfriend.
A sophomore, Worley had 17 tackles and two interceptions in West Virginia's three games before his suspension.
