Well, we are now under 100 days until kickoff. This should be another exciting year! I will try to post an update each day, so that we get to know who each player on the team is, like I did last year.

The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory. -

99 Days until kickoff...
#99 is for Jordan Lacy, the 6'3"/244lbs junior defensive end from Jefferson City, Missouri. Jordan is projected as the starting left side defensive end. Jordan has played in 24 of the possible 25 games the past two seasons. Jordan has recorded 40 tackles, 8 for a loss, 4 sacks, and one forced fumble in the past two years. With losses to the D-line from last year's senior class, look for Lacy's role on the field to be more consistent and significant.
Lacy redshirted his freshman year, where he was named MVP of the defense scout team (Eric Sanders MVP of offense). In high school, Lacy was a two time all-district student-athlete.The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.

#96 is for Mark Huygens, the 6'6"/267lbs Sophomore Defensive End from Sergeant Bluff HS in Sergeant Bluff, IA. Mark is projected to be a starting defensive end entering August. After redshirting his freshman year at UNI, Mark had an excellent freshman campaign for the Panthers. He played in 13 games, while starting 2. Mark came on strong at the end of the season, as he had 14 tackles in the post-season. Mark finished last year with 19 tackles, 3 for a loss, 3 sacks, and 1 Fumble Recovery. Mark showed great promise last year, especially at the end of the season, and should be a key factor on the defensive line for the next three years. Good luck Mark!

95 Days Till Kickoff!
#95 is for Everette Pedescleaux, the 6'6"/285lbs sophomore defensive end from Armstrong HS in Plymouth, MN. "Ev" transferred last year to UNI from Minnesota, after originally verbally commiting to play basketball for the Panthers out of high school. Ev quickly became a key player on the defensive line for the Panthers as he started four games, while playing in 12 this season. Ev made arguably the biggest play of the season at Western Kentucky, as he blocked the game winning field goal at the end of regulation, which propelled UNI to a victory, and eventually the GFC crown and playoff automatic bid. Ev suffered season ending knee surgery just a few weeks later, and should be ready to go as the season begins. This isn't the first tiem that Ev has had knee problems, and it is something to keep an eye on this year. But, regardless, best of wishes and an injury free season to Everette this year!

Wes is a former all-stater and runner-up state wrestler. Good luck this fall Wes!The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.

Unexpected success, followed by unimaginable failure. And they owned it -- all of it -- for the world to see. Like men. Like leaders.
