BROOKINGS, S.D. — Internally for No. 4 Northern Iowa Saturday’s game at No. 8 North Dakota State is the next one on the schedule.
Under the mantra that no game is bigger than the next one, the Panthers (7-3 overall, 5-1 in the Missouri Valley Football Conference) are clearly focused on putting the best game plan together to give themselves a chance to beat the Jacks (7-3, 4-2).
That statement held true for the week building up to UNI’s win over Indiana State on Nov. 9, and will again next week when the Panthers begin addressing their regular-season finale at home against Western Illinois.
