CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – Northern Iowa (4-4, 3-2 MVFC) returns to the UNI-Dome this Saturday seeking home-field advantage as the Panthers host No. 6 South Dakota (7-1, 4-1 MVFC) at 1 p.m. CT.
"This is the first team that we've faced that goes this fast on offense," head coach Mark Farley said. "We'll have to train our guys this week to prepare for the no-huddle style South Dakota runs. They're one of the best teams in the nation and it will be a good test for us."
