CEDAR FALLS, Iowa - UNI football opens its home season on Hall of Fame weekend with its first top-10 opponent in Sacramento State.

UNI will be inducting the Hall of Fame Class of 2022, which will include football standout and NFL great Chad Rinehart. He played a key role in UNI's football success in the mid-2000s. The Boone, Iowa, native helped the Panthers to 37 wins, including three Gateway Football Conference championships, headlined by a run to the 2005 FCS National Championship Game and an undefeated 2007 regular season.
