For the second time in two weeks, the Panthers face a ranked team. This time it will be against undefeated Youngstown State for the Valley Football opener and homecoming. UNI is coming off of a tough road loss at No. 5/6 Weber State and looks to bounce back against a team that has dominated their non-conference schedule. The Penguins are 4-0, but haven't won in the UNI-Dome against a Mark Farley coached team. The Panthers lead the series 22-8, but the series is 3-3 over the last six meetings. Both teams are in the top-15 in the country for total defense.
