CEDAR FALLS, Ia. — Among the top factors in surviving the FCS postseason grind is handling unfamiliarity. The bracket has a way of delivering some interesting matchups.
That’s the challenge for Northern Iowa again this week, as the Panthers (7-5) head west to face sixth-seeded UC Davis (9-2) in Saturday’s 6 p.m., second-round showdown. UNI landed a run-heavy foe first in Lamar, but will now pivot and face one of FCS’ most explosive passing attacks.
