CEDAR FALLS — In recent weeks, Northern Iowa’s fourth-ranked football team has practiced in blustery winds, dreadful cold and rain.
Tuesday, the Panthers practiced in the snow.
It would be safe to say that UNI (7-3 overall, 5-1 Missouri Valley Football Conference) has seen it all leading up to Saturday’s game at No. 8 South Dakota State (7-3, 4-2) where the forecast doesn’t appear as daunting as the weather the Panthers have been practicing in.
The forecast calls for a balmy 42 degrees with a 20 percent chance of rain and winds up to 14 mph at Dana J.
