Northern Iowa Coach Mark Farley kept the media day focus on his Panthers.
The season kicks off Sept. 3 Iowa State, but Farley didn’t go into great detail about the Cyclones.
“What I learned from last year is Iowa State’s a good football team,” Farley said. “And as I under stand, they’re better (this season).”
Farley went into more depth about his offensive line (which features four returning starters), his defensive line (also with all four starters returning) and all-Missouri Valley Conference quarterback Tirrell Rennie.
“The thing about Tirrell is he’s such a good-natured person,” Farley said. “He’s always positive all the time.”
The Panthers will actually open against three straight opponents who defeated them last season, including Stephen F. Austin and Western Illinois.
“We have to come out a very good football team very early,” Farley said. “Then you have to go in and find out what our league is like.”
Farely was asked if he liked playing Iowa State in the opener.
“I’d like to play somebody else first, and then Iowa State,” he said. “But it doesn’t matter.
“There’s no one on the schedule that we can say we can come up for a breather
