(Radio Iowa) – For the 22nd time the UNI Panthers are playoff bound as they visit Eastern Washington in Saturday’s opening round of the FCS playoffs. The Panthers finished 6-5 after a 41-3 win over Western Illinois and a strong schedule helped them get in.

That’s UNI coach Mark Farley. The Missouri Valley Conference got a record six teams in the field.

The Panthers were forced to wait a day to see if their season would continue.

The FCS Playoffs conclude with the national championship in Frisco, TX on Saturday, January 8, 2022.
