CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – Indiana State nearly matched Northern Iowa in an explosive back-and-forth offensive game as the Sycamores fell to the host Panthers in the 2024 regular season finale inside the UNI-Dome, 41-34.
The Sycamores (4-8, 3-5) trailed UNI (3-9, 1-7) 34-17 midway through the third quarter as Northern Iowa took advantage of Tye Edwards' 229 rushing yards and three Sergio Morancy touchdowns to build the lead in the MVFC season finale for both squads.
Indiana State looked to battle its way back into the contest through the luck of the bounce as Elijah Owen's pass near midfield toward Rashad Rochelle was tipped into the air and settled into the hands of Sycamore receiver Kevin Barnett with open space ahead.
