Tyvis Smith rushed for 207 yards and two more scores in a steady rain for the Panthers’ seventh straight victory.

Northern Iowa (9-4) will go on to face the four-time FCS champions North Dakota State in the quarterfinals. The Bison defeated Montana 37-6 earlier in the day, scoring on two interception returns and a 100-yard kickoff return.

Portland State (9-3), which had a first-round bye as the sixth seed, could not get its distinctive offense going and fell behind 16-3 after the first half. Alex Kuresa threw for 105 yards and a touchdown for the Vikings, who were making the program’s second trip to the playoffs.
