The Northern Iowa football team will look for its third straight win this week with a visit to Indiana State. The Panthers opened Missouri Valley play with a 44-41 victory over Youngstown State.

That’s UNI coach Mark Farley who says the Panthers won despite several critical mistakes.

Defense remains a concern and Farley says communication breakdowns are leading to big plays.

Indiana State is 0-4 but Farley says the Panthers won’t take the Sycamores lightly.

Indiana State sophomore quarterback Cade Chambers returned from injury last week and passed for 159 yards in a 30-28 loss to Murray State.
