Northern Iowa’s Mark Farley previews Hawaii

Sports

September 16th, 2024 by Ric Hanson

Northern Iowa coach Mark Farley says quarterback Aidan Dunne is probable for Saturday’s game at Hawaii. Dunne was injured late in a 34-3 loss at 22nd ranked Nebraska. Sophomore Matthew Schecklman finished the game and fellow sophomore Jaxon Dailey is also an option if Dunne is unable to play.

Farley has been to adjust the practice schedule this week. The Panthers fly to Hawaii on Wednesday.

Another issue is UNI’s equipment shipped out to Hawaii this (Monday) afternoon.

Farley says a defense that entered the season with a lot of question marks performed well at Nebraska.

Farley says the key will be getting that effort every week.

Iowa looks to solve big play issues

Sports

September 15th, 2024 by Ric Hanson

There is plenty to work on at Iowa heading into Saturday’s Big Ten opener at Minnesota. The Hawkeyes closes non conference play with a 38-21 win over Troy but the Hawkeye defense got torched again by the big play, giving up two touchdown passes of more than 60 yards as well as a 77 yard punt return for a score.

That’s Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz who says there are a variety of factors that went into it.

After struggling inside the five in a loss to Iowa State the Hawkeyes inserted back up quarterback Brendan Sullivan near the goal line and he threw a touchdown on his first snap.

Through three games the Iowa defense is giving up only 56 yards of rushing per game and the offense is averaging 243 yards on the ground.

UNI falls at Nebraska 34-3

Sports

September 15th, 2024 by Ric Hanson

Northern Iowa suffered its first loss of the season, Saturday, 34-3 at Nebraska. The Panthers rushed for 139 yards and had 301 total yards. Panther coach Mark Farley liked the toughness his team showed.

Farley says the Panthers hurt their cause with nine penalties for 95 yards.

UP NEXT: The Panthers hop on a plane and travel to Hawaii to take on the Rainbow Warriors on September 21st to cap off their three-game road stand.  Kickoff is scheduled for 11 p.m. CT.

Fans & players honor 2024 IA graduate/football player who died in an Indiana plane crash

Sports

September 14th, 2024 by Ric Hanson

On a night when multiple numbers took South Hamilton High’s football field, there’s one digit that was on the mind of many — six. That’s the same number of times South Hamilton High’s principal rang the bell just before the game against Roland-Story in honor of 19-year-old Owen Renaud, a class of 2024 graduate and senior captain of last year’s football team who died in a plane crash last week. Renaud was one of four people who died.

Many fans — even from the opposing team — were dressed in white as a tribute to Renaud. Shirts in his honor were made available for free, with people leaving donations that would go toward the Flying High Scholarship Fund. Renaud’s family started the fund, which will be used to help kids that need it.

Anyone who would like to donate to the scholarship fund can do so via Venmo: @Michelle-Oskvig.
