CEDAR FALLS -- Idaho State head football coach Rob Phenicie was a resident of Cedar Falls once.
The entirety of his residency may have lasted 48 hours, maybe a little less, maybe a little longer.
Saturday, Phenicie and the Bengals get to visit Cedar Falls again when ISU plays ninth-ranked Northern Iowa at the UNI-Dome in a 4 p.m. kickoff. The Panthers and Bengals have not played since UNI won 49-11 in the UNI-Dome in 1992.
Back in March of 2017, Phenicie was offered the wide receivers coaching position on Northern Iowa's staff by UNI head coach Mark Farley, just two months have he had been promoted to offensive coordinator at Idaho State in January of that same year.
