The UNI Panthers kept the lead most of the day with two ties during the game but it was the last minute of the game that kept the fans in their seats. With under a minute to go, the Yellowjackets, with no timeouts left, kept driving the field only down by five points. With about :10 left, James Brown caused a fumble which Georgia Tech would recover but could not get back up to the line with time left on the clock.
The specials team of UNI need some work as they have allowed a touchdown for two consecutive games now.
The game turner was when freshman outside linebacker Allan Pettway had a safety and gave the Panthers a five point lead with 2:41 left in the third. Kicker Scott Chance would add another three points at the beginning of the fourth quarter to give the Panthers a comfortable one possession lead, 22-14. The Yellowjackets would not give up though as they drove the field for three minutes and added a 45 yard field goal to pull the game back within five.
Georgia Tech would then play some great defense and use their timeouts wisely to get the ball back for that last drive. They couldn't pull it off as the UNI Panthers continue on their win streak and improve their record to 10-0 on the season.
