Big test for Eastern, other Big Sky teams
Eastern faces one of the tougher road tests in the Football Championship Subdivision, playing at Northern Iowa in a televised game (SWX) that begins at 11 a.m. Did I mention that UNI beat both eventual finalists (North Dakota State and Illinois State) on their way to another playoff berth.
