The Panthers travel to Springfield, Missouri to face a Missouri State team that is 1-5 on the year. UNI is 4-3 after a win over South Dakota in the UNI-Dome. According to Massey Ratings, UNI has faced the toughest schedule to date in the FCS. The game is the 39th in the series and UNI leads 33-5, including a current UNI win streak of 13 games dating back to 2006.

•The Panthers allow an uncharacteristic 21 points in the 17 minutes of game action, but after that point, UNI gave up just six points for the remainder of the game. The defensive performance combined with three touchdowns from Isaiah Weston and two from Tyler Hoosman led to the 42-27 win over South Dakota.

• The win over Southern Utah was Head coach Mark Farley's 150th career victory. He is the winningest coach in UNI and Missouri Valley Football History and the 10th coach in FCS history with 153 FCS victories.
