Northern Iowa coach Mark Farley says the Panthers will practice outside this week to get ready for Saturday’s opener at Iowa State. Game time temperatures are expected to reach the mid-90s in Jack Trice Stadium The Panthers worked in the UNI-Dome during last week’s heat wave.
Farley says the opening game always answers a lot of questions. UNI has an experienced team that enters the season ranked 20th in the FCS poll.
Farley says they are not sure who the Cyclones will play at quarterback and tailback with Hunter Dekkers and Jirehl Brock being sidelined by a gambling investigation.
Farley says the biggest adjustment may come from several new assistants on the staff.
Former Panther assistant Ryan Clanton is entering his first season as the offensive line coach at ISU.
The Cyclones have won the last three in the series but the last two have been decided by a total of nine points, including Iowa State’s triple overtime victory in 2019.
The Cyclones start another difficult nonconference slate for UNI.
Several Drake football players are using their COVID year to extend their playing career. Utah native and defensive back Joey Lukrich (loo-kritch) says playing college football will have an impact when he enters the working world.
Lukrich already has his degree and is in graduate school as he finishes his playing career.
Lukrich has a brother who had to give up college football because of an injury so for him the decision to return was an easy one.
Offensive lineman Brendan Burton already has his degree but the Waterloo native made the decision to return after having last season cut short by an injury.
Burton says for him it was an easy decision to return.
The Bulldogs open at North Dakota on September second.

This (Tuesday) morning marks the start of the 16th annual effort to package millions of meals to help feed the hungry in Iowa, across the U-S, and in countries around the globe. Meals from the Heartland launches the massive mission with today’s corporate contest, where Hy-Vee spokeswoman Nola Aigner (EYE-gner) Davis says dozens of volunteers will be pitching in to assemble the meals in plastic bags, which are then packed into cardboard boxes.
That event, the One Step Challenge, is being held at the MidAmerican Energy RecPlex in West Des Moines. The larger “Hunger Fight” event runs tomorrow (Wednesday) through Saturday as many thousands of volunteers will be packaging meals at Hy-Vee Hall in downtown Des Moines. The goal is to produce and package four-million meals by the end of the day on Saturday.
There are two basic meals that will be assembled, a Hearty Pack, with rice, soy protein, vitamins, minerals and dried vegetables; and a Taco Mac, which contains enriched pasta, soy flour, and vitamin- and mineral-fortified cheese mix.
Individual and group registrations are being welcomed for shifts tomorrow through Saturday. Hairnets and gloves will be provided. Since 2008, Meals from the Heartland has provided more than 183-million meals to the hungry in Iowa, across the U.S., and around the world.

Republican Congressman Zach Nunn says his race for a second term in the U-S House will get national attention.
The latest data shows Democrats have a 77-hundred voter registration edge over Republicans in the third congressional district. Last November, Nunn won Iowa’s third district seat in the U-S House by finishing just 21-hundred votes ahead of Democratic incumbent Cindy Axne. This summer, national Democrats began running online ads accusing Nunn of being part of the G-O-P’s anti-abortion crusade.
Nunn notes there will be no statewide races on Iowa’s 2024 General Election ballot.
Nunn says his congressional race, along with the U-S House races in Iowa’s other three congressional districts, will be the lead races in Iowa next year. No Democrat has announced they plan to run against Nunn in 2024. In Iowa’s first district, Republican Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks will likely face a rematch with Democrat Christina Bohannan of Iowa City. Bohannan announced her 2024 congressional campaign earlier this month. Two Democrats say they’re running in Iowa’s fourth congressional district. One of the Democrats is Ryan Melton of Nevada, who ran against Republican Congressman Randy Feenstra last year, and the other is Ames doctor Jay Brown.
(Greenfield, Iowa) – The Adair County Secondary Roads Department, today (Monday), reports rown Ave. will be closed to traffic just north of 170th St. for approximately 3-4 days for a culvert replacement.
(Radio Iowa)- There’s a nationwide push to recruit more minorities for careers in law enforcement and a community in northwest Iowa is emphasizing diversity on its police force. Bayron Ordonez, who was born in Honduras, is one of four new officers taking the oath to serve and protect Sioux City.
Sioux City Police Chief Rex Mueller agrees.
Of four new officers recently sworn into duty in Sioux City, two come from the Hispanic community, including Ordonez.
Of the 127 officers on the city’s police force, more than a quarter are minorities, including women. There are no Native Americans on the force. About 20-percent of Sioux City’s population is Hispanic. Now, about eight-percent of the city’s police officers are Hispanic.
