Head coach Bob Spoo gets ready for his 20th season and aims for his school's 11th bid in an NCAA I-AA playoffs this year as the Panthers will get practice started this next Monday on the campus of Eastern Illinois.
Seems like Spoo wants to encourage competition at QB where they have several transfers from I-A schools. Must be nice having your returning starting QB from a perfect OVC campaign and then having some gunslingers on the bench from I-AA squads. Those three transfers are Andre Brown from Northern Illinois, Cole Stinson from Ball State and Brodie Reeder from Wyoming.
