Northern Iowa coach Mark Farley says the Panthers need to develop a rhythm on offense as they prepare to host 9th ranked Weber State. The offense struggled in a 30-9 loss at Iowa State.

Farley says ISU ‘s defense was a factor in these problems.

Farley says the Panthers need to step up on both sides of the ball.

Weber State opened with a 35-10 win over Central Washington.

Farley expects Weber State to be a contender in the Big Sky Conference.
