Northern Iowa football coach Mark Farley knew of Tirrell Rennie when Rennie was in high school in Florida, and learned more when he attended Ellsworth Community College in Iowa Falls, Iowa.
But even when Rennie signed with UNI in 2010, Farley wasn't sure he'd found his QB.
"We thought he had the ability to be quarterback," said Farley. "But we felt also if he could not play quarterback, he could be a receiver for us.
"But when he came in here he was determined, and worked his way into that starting role. He did everything he needed to become the starter and gain the respect of his teammates."
The result has been another standout season for the UNI Panthers, who bring a No. 2 ranking into Missoula for a Football Championship Subdivision quarterfinal playoff game against No. 5 Montana on Friday at 6 p.m.
