UNI can cross one more off on their 'Goals' list. They have finally won an SEC Championship. The first year, they had the record to go to the Championship but they were on probation and couldn't go to anything. The second year, the probation was lifted from being invited to bowl games but they had to face a tough #1 Florida and lost. This year, they faced Tennessee who they beat earlier in the season with a blowout but this game they knew Tennessee was going to be a much better team than the first time these two teams faced each other.
UNI stuck with their running game and won the game behind the strong arms and legs of HB Steve Jackson. Jackson ran for 180 yards and had all four touchdowns in the game. He was not only named player of the game but NCAA Player of the Week.
With the win, UNI improves their record to 12-1 and 8-0. They will now await their bowl invite and see who is next on their agenda and may be able to cross off their next 'Goals' item which would be to win a major bowl game if they get invited to one of the four big ones.
