Northern Iowa’s complete 2018 football schedule was released Monday afternoon, featuring two nonconference road trips and an early-October home date with the defending FCS national champs.
UNI’s 2018 campaign will begin on Sept. 1 at Montana, the first of three nonconference games to begin the year. The Panthers have faced the Grizzlies three times since 2011, most recently suffering a 20-14 home loss in 2016.
UNI will then make its first trip to Kinnick Stadium since 2014. The Sept. 15 Iowa-UNI matchup had previously been reported, but the Panthers will have now have a bye week before the FBS showdown.
