Cedar Falls, Iowa – A brutal schedule continues for Northern Iowa this week as the Panthers visit top ranked North Dakota State on Saturday. UNI is 0-4 in the Missouri Valley Conference and the four losses have come against ranked foes. UNI coach Mark Farley.

The Panthers are coming off a 49-42 loss to Missouri State. Farley is in his 24th season as head coach and does not remember any stretch of a schedule as tough as this.

Farley is looking for ways to fix a defense that is giving up more than 40 points per game in conference play.

Farley says a positive was the play of quarterback Matthew Schecklman. He was 20 of 30 through the air for 270 yards and three touchdowns.

Farley says a key for North Dakota State has been the play of quarterback Cam Miller.

Former Iowa offensive line coach Tim Polasek is in his first season as head coach of the Bison.
