GAME PREVIEWS

In 2011, Iowa State University beat the Panthers by just one point, 20-19. Coach Paul Rhoads told the Tribune: “UNI they know how to win football games. … That game was a dog fight, which we expected. We expect this one to be a dog fight.”

Coach Paul Rhoads told the Waterloo Courier that the Cyclones are not ready to “face a UNI team featuring Sawyer Kollmorgen and David Johnson on offense, and a Panther defense led by a stout linebacker group and a very talented backfield on defense.”
