Redbirds trail Northern Iowa at halftime

Buy Now UNI moved the football with relative ease through the air, but was limited to four Austin Errthum field goals until Duncan Ferch intercepted a Jake Kolbe pass and returned it 31 yards for a touchdown 3:07 before halftime.

The Redbirds created a turnover on the opening kickoff as Sam Fenlason found a soft spot in the UNI kickoff return team. The ball bounced at the 25, and ISU's Austin Nagel recovered.

Sparked by a 53-yard Deion McShane kickoff return, the Panthers tied it on a 30-yard field goal from Errthum.
