University of South Dakota's Tacari Carpenter celebrates his touchdown against University of Northern Iowa during a football game in Vermillion, S.D. on Saturday.
JUSTIN WAN, SIOUX CIT JOURNALCEDAR FALLS -- Northern Iowa may have meet the current king of the Missouri Valley Football Conference last Saturday in Fargo, N.D., but the gauntlet of the Panthers' Valley schedule is not over.
UNI (4-4 overall, 3-2 MVFC) will face its fourth consecutive FCS Top Ten opponent when sixth-ranked South Dakota (7-1, 4-1) Saturday in the UNI-Dome at 1 p.m.
Asked if the Coyotes have been a surprise, UNI head coach Mark Farley said they would probably fall in that category, but back that comment by saying that doesn't take anything away from the results USD has produced.
