Northern Iowa football coach Mark Farley says the Panthers need to eliminate mistakes as they get ready to host 11th ranked North Dakota. The Panthers had two interceptions, lost three fumbles and had no chance in a 41-6 loss at top ranked South Dakota State.

Farley says the Panthers need to move on but not forget what happened.

The road does not get any easier. North Dakota is the second of three straight rated opponents for the Panthers.

North Dakota is 4-2 after a 49-24 win over in-state rival North Dakota State.

North Dakota quarter Tommy Schuster (shoo-stir is completing 73 percent of his passes and his mobility is an added concern.

The Panthers are 3-3.
