CEDAR FALLS — A.J. Allen was going to have a normal college student evening, because he knew his time to sit back, relax and enjoy Northern Iowa’s 44-0 win over Hampton Saturday was going to be brief.
The Panthers (1-2) didn’t even get the 24-hour rule, that standard saying all football teams have of enjoying a big victory on Sunday before beginning prep for the next game on Monday.
In just four days, the Panthers will be back in action for a Thursday night game in Terre Haute, Ind., as UNI opens Missouri Valley Conference play against Indiana State.
