UNI coach Mark Farley says the Panthers need to find a way to protect quarterback Theo Day. In two games Day has been sacked 10 times, including five in Saturday’s 34-17 loss to ninth ranked Weber State.

Farley says they are exploring options to fix pass protection.

The Panthers have committed eight turnovers in the first two games and there is a sense of urgency to get things turned around as they get ready to visit Idaho State.

Idaho State is 0-2 after losses to San Diego State and Utah State.

Theo Day has five interceptions through two games, but Farley still has confidence in his senior quarterback.

Idaho State has thrown for nearly 700 yards in its first two games and pass defense has been a weakness for UNI.
