UNI Takes Care of First Game With Ease
The #13 UNI Panthers definitely showed their nerves in the first quarter but after that they were all out and you could tell with the continuous scoring they did.
2014 Heisman Winner HB Steve Jackson proved that he's out for another trophy this year as he ran for 210 yards and four touchdowns in the game.
Coach Pelini had this to say about Jackson and the team, "I'm really he came back because he has the skills I believe to go to the next level. It's like having a player in the major leagues come down to your Triple A team! I'm also proud of our Special Teams for not allowing a touchdown, something we worked on in the off-season. Our defense was amazing too with returning an interception for a touchdown and returning a fumble for a touchdown. Along with our Special Teams, I'm proud of our punter Jeremy Jones for stepping up and filling in for our normal kicker Scott Chance who is out for three games for academic trouble. I tell my kids that academics come first, then football. If you don't do well in academics, then I don't want you on the team, no matter how good you are."
UNI faces #23 BYU next week.
