Mark Mangino leaves Iowa State football program

Iowa State Coach Paul Rhoads says offensive coordinator Mark Mangino has left the program.

Rhoads says he and Mangino haven’t been on the same page for weeks. Rhoads wouldn’t say whether Mangino quit or was fired.

The move Monday came on the same day Iowa State promoted sophomore Joel Lanning to a starting role over senior Sam Richardson, but Rhoads says Lanning’s promotion was not the reason Mangino left.

Rhoads announced that passing game coordinator Todd Sturdy will take over for Mangino, starting with Saturday’s game against Texas (3-4, 2-2 Big 12).

Mangino was 50-48 in eight seasons as the coach at Kansas. He joined Rhoads’ staff before last season.

Iowa State (2-5, 1-3) is averaging 26.9 points per game.

Idaho’s Epps suspended indefinitely

The Idaho football program says star wide receiver Dezmon Epps has been suspended indefinitely after being accused of hitting his girlfriend.

Coach Paul Petrino said Monday that there will be a full investigation into the allegation before a decision is made on Epps’ future with the team. Petrino added that he has zero tolerance for inappropriate behavior toward women.

Police in Moscow, Idaho, say the alleged incident occurred in nearby Pullman, Washington, early Sunday morning.

Pullman police said no arrest had been made and declined to comment further.

Epps has 61 receptions for 757 yards in six games this season, far and away the most among Idaho receivers.

But the senior has had a troubled career at Idaho, being disciplined several times before for breaking team rules.

Etc.

Utah Coach Kyle Whittingham says senior receiver Tim Patrick is out for the rest of the season and is seeking another year of eligibility. Patrick made one appearance this season trying to return from a leg injury that ended his 2014 season. … Wisconsin has lost starting center Dan Voltz for the season because of a knee injury suffered in the 24-13 victory over Illinois. … James Madison Coach Everett Withers says quarterback Vad Lee’s left foot injury will sideline him “indefinitely.” Lee was injured early in the fourth quarter of the Dukes’ 59-49 loss to Richmond on Saturday night.
