And because the offense was good, the separation from opponent was real good.
Behind three technical falls and two major decisions, Northern Iowa rolled to a 29-9 victory over Air Force Sunday at the West Gym in Big 12 Conference wrestling action.
The Panthers racked up 21 take downs and 34 near fall points against the Falcons.
"We were able to open a lot of guys on top," UNI head coach Doug Schwab said. "When you put 15, 16, 20 points on the board you don't lose too many matches."
Waterloo East's Tyrell Gordon got UNI off to a strong start with an 8-2 win over Casey Jumps, and Jay Schwarm's 10-0 win over Sidney Flores at 125 put the Panthers up 7-3.
