2014 Week 3

The UNI Panthers were only tied once in the first quarter but other than that, the Panthers led the entire game versus heated rival #15 LSU. Pelini had this to say after the game, "I'm really proud of these kids and how well they're handling the pressure against top ranked teams. We were really put in a tough conference and to be able to have a winning record in the SEC, is quite a task! The only thing I was disappointed in was our special teams. We would have shut out LSU had it not been for our special teams allowing a 92-yard kick return letting LSU tie the game. I'm going to give our special teams another chance next game and if we allow just one touchdown next time, there will be a change in the way we line up for kickoffs." The Panthers should now be in the Top 25 after a win over a Top 15 team.
