Northern Iowa football coach Mark Farley wants game like conditions when the Panthers close out spring drills Friday night. The Panthers missed the FCS playoffs last year with a 6-5 record and Farley has been happy with the progress this spring.

Farley says they are bringing in officials to make it like a real game.

Farley was contemplating how the teams will be divided up.
