On Saturday, Northern Iowa celebrated their homecoming by defeating North Dakota 24-17 in Cedar Falls, Iowa. The Panthers, led by Andrew Price who scored a touchdown after blocking a punt, forced five turnovers and held North Dakota to only two first downs on their final three possessions without crossing midfield. This win follows Northern Iowa's victory over then-No. 3 Illinois State on September 26. With this victory, Northern Iowa improves its record to 3-2 overall and 2-0 in the Missouri Valley Football Conference. North Dakota, ranked No. 4 in the Stats Perform poll, had 367 yards of total offense but struggled with turnovers, leading to their loss despite strong offensive numbers. Both teams have upcoming games: North Dakota faces South Dakota State next Saturday, while Northern Iowa travels to play Youngstown State.
