ST. LOUIS --- UNI offensive lineman Justin Peine has been named the Missouri Valley Football Conference (MVFC) Offensive Lineman of the Week, as announced by the league office on Tuesday morning. The selection is Peine's first weekly honor from the MVFC in his career.
Peine played a critical role in helping the Panther offense flourish in a 41-14 victory over Utah Tech in non-conference play. UNI totaled 548 yards of offense for the first time since the opening round of the 2017 FCS playoffs thanks to Peine's blocking up front, reaching the end zone five times.
