CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – UNI head football coach Mark Farley Tuesday announced the hire of Justin Roper as quarterbacks coach. Roper comes to UNI from Slippery Rock University in Pennsylvania where he was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.
Roper is not a stranger to FCS Football. He spent his final two years as a player at the University of Montana where he played for the Grizzlies in their run to the 2009 FCS title game. Before his time at Montana, he played for Oregon and still holds the record for passing touchdowns in the Sun Bowl where he threw four touchdowns to lead the Ducks to the win in 2007.
