#113 UNI Knocks Off Another SEC Opponent
#29 Arkansas didn't seem much of a threat as they took on #113 UNI. "I almost liked being ranked this low because opponents will come into our matchups thinking that they are just going to walk all over us. If they take a look at our schedule and who we've beaten, well then, that's a different story." "On paper we look like a very easy team to beat but our defense has really been doing a great job especially the defensive line with our blitzing and getting to the quarterback before the other team can get a read on the receivers and make a pass" Coach Pelini stated.
UNI started the scoring with a 76 yard pass from QB Robertson to WR Greer as they took the lead 7-0. In the 2nd, UNI was just making it look easy as their junior kicker who has been doing a great job on the year made two of two field goals to make it 13-0 UNI at half.
The third quarter was back and forth as no team scored but in the fourth, the Razorbacks started to try to make a comeback with an 18 yard touchdown run by their halfback to cut the lead to 13-7. Panthers put Arkansas away by a passing touchdown to 6'5" WR Simmons to make the score 20-7 with 3:29 left in the game. Panthers added the insult score with :03 left in the game by a 1 yard touchdown run by HB Mikel LeShoure to make the final 27-7.
UNI is now 5-0 in the SEC conference but that won't make much of a difference because UNI is not allowed to go to their conference championship if they were to win the SEC WEST which looks like they will.
