(Radio Iowa) – UNI coach Mark Farley was pleased with quarterback Theo Day’s performance in Saturday’s 44-3 win over St. Thomas of Minnesota. The Michigan State transfer passed for 193 yards and a touchdown in his first start since his senior season in high school.

Day has three touchdown passes in six quarters of actions.

The Panthers have a bye week before opening Missouri Valley play at home against Youngstown State. Farley likes the way the offense is showing signs of progress.

Farley says as the receiver group gets more healthy the offense should get even better.

Farley says the goal for the defense is to build depth.
