Victories that count are won on the field, and that has been the message Northern Iowa coach Mark Farley has been delivering to his 24th-ranked Panthers leading up to Saturday’s 4 p.m. contest with Indiana State on Senior Day at the UNI-Dome.

“They have struggled in areas as well all know by their record,” Farley said. “But when you look at some of the games they have played, looked at some of the scores in the third quarter, they are right there with a lot of these teams.
