Starting the season out with a win would also come with taste of revenge for Colorado State starting center Tiel Daniels.
When he and the Rams play Northern Iowa on Saturday in their regular-season opener, it will be Daniels’ fifth game against the Panthers.
Before transferring to CSU, the redshirt senior played his first two years at Southern Illinois, a part of the Missouri Valley Conference with UNI. But Daniels’ Saluki teams didn’t fair so well against the Panthers in his four chances with them. He went 1-3 vs. UNI in his two years in the Missouri Valley.
