Northern Iowa opens Thursday night at home against Morningside. U-N-I coach Mike Dunbar says he knows very little about the Mustangs.Dunbar says with an opening game, preparation is even more a key. He says his number one concern is the minor injuries that have kept some of the veterans out of practice.Dunbar says some of the younger players will see action at running back. Last week, leading rusher Adam Benge quit the squad. Dunbar believes they have the depth to fill in for Benge. He says this means some of the younger backs will get their chance to play sooner than expected.
