Another week and another ranked opponent for Northern Iowa as the Panthers get ready to visit 10th ranked North Dakota. The Panthers 0-2 in the Missouri Valley after a 42-17 loss at fourth ranked South Dakota.

That’s UNI coach Mark Farley who says the defense must improve against a tough schedule.

Farley says the Panthers need more pressure on the quarterback.

Farley says they will face another similar style in North Dakota.

It is a physical challenge the Panthers need to answer.

Farley says to get things turned around the Panthers must limit mistakes as well as run the ball better and stop the run.
