Not Even Close--Part 2!
If you thought the last matchup was a blowout, this one beats that last one by four!
"Our defense did a superb job in this game by intercepting the ball six times! I'm really proud of our freshman CB Brett Willis. He literally stepped up and intercepted the ball a total of three times in the game for us" Pelini added.
UNI dominated pretty much the entire game. The defense didn't allow a score until the fourth quarter. Arkansas didn't score until there was 52 seconds left in the game on a pass that just got by the UNI cornerback.
The impressive stats in this game was QB Victor Welsh throwing for 234 yards and three touchdowns, HB Steve Jackson running for 257 yards and six touchdowns, WR Jarvis Whitaker with 164 receiving yards and three touchdowns and CB Brett Willis with three interceptions.
With the SEC win over Arkansas, UNI goes to 4-0 in the conference and 6-0 overall. They have won that magic sixth win for a possible bowl invitation.
Next up for UNI is an SEC matchup which will pit them against Kentucky.
