Five of Grace's touchdowns came in the second quarter when Northern Iowa broke open a game which was 10-7 after the first quarter. The Panthers also rushed for 234 yards and finished with 712 yards of total offense.
Northern Iowa's defense held South Dakota to 113 yard rushing, recovered three fumbles and intercepted two passes.
