I don't think they are scrimmaging. Farley is giving them the day off.

Yea no scrimmage Saturday. Their scrimmage is tonight on the Wartburg field.

Thanks JCPanther and Born -A-Panther.
Do you know when they will have a scrimmage next week? Will it be next Thursday....which would be one week away from the opening game at Drake?

I hope we have a good crowd at Drake Stadium. I have heard they are a little disappointed in the slow ticket sales.

It would be a pitty if the Panther fans of central Iowa did not come out and support the team.
I hope none of them are planning on staying home to watch the Panthers or Clones play on TV.

So far the plan is to have another scrimmage next Thursday night -- at Wartburg again. That could easily change though, and I don't know yet if there are any other scrimmages planned beyond that one or not.

Has Anyone

Been to any of the practices or scrimmages this year. I am curious how are we lookin. How is Garrett doing at DE he could be a vital player in that role good size speed possibly this years Hermann. How is the defense looking in gerneral? I am also very curious to hear about the new wideouts, they will be key this year. We already know Sanders will get them the ball. How is Lewis looking at RB? I can't wait for the season to begin!

any updates?

Did anyone attend the scrimmage at Wartburg?
If so how did it go?
Any injuries? I hope we are not getting hit with injuries like Iowas State is.
How is the defensive front seven developing?

Just need my football fix with only two weeks untill the season starts

Farley Sees Progress During Second UNI Scrimmage

"You try to take a couple of guys out and they tell you, 'I'm having fun. I want to be out there.' You can't beat that when they want to practice more."

[Matt Trump]

What I've heard:

Lewis is the real deal and will be freaking stud at RB

The new receivers are impressive

We need some depth at FB and TE

Defense is looking good.

Practices have been some of the most physical in a long time. Farley is not letting and trying to push this team to the next level

Any word on what's wrong with these guys?

"Terrell Allen, a transfer from Pittsburgh...also watched Thursday's scrimmage from the sidelines...Defensive linemen Everette Pedescleaux and Mark Huygens were unable to participate, either."

Man, time is flying! For some reason it really didnt click in my head that we're THIS close! I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about it!!

My guess that they are just a little nicked up. If they were out for the season, it would have been reported right now. A lot of times they hold guys out of scrimmages because they are a little dinged and there is most risk for injury at those times.
