CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – Fueled by a dominating pass rush, Northern Iowa (4-3, 3-1 MVFC) knocked off another top-10 foe on Saturday after beating No. 9 Youngstown State (3-4, 1-3 MVFC), 19-14.

UNI has now downed back-to-back top-10 opponents for the first time since 2014's upsets of No. 6 Illinois State (Nov. 1) and No. 1 North Dakota State (Nov. 8).

The Panther defense recorded 10 sacks on Saturday, coming within one quarterback takedown from tying the program record. The 10 sacks are tied for the most by any FCS team this season, with Eastern Washington also earning 10 against Fordham on Sept.
