The game will also be produced by ESPN Syndication and will be carried on ESPN Gameplan and ESPN360.com.

The 10th-ranked Wildcats (10-2) earned a spot in the quarterfinals following their 29-20 first-round victory at eighth-ranked Southern Illinois last Saturday. Fourth-ranked Northern Iowa (11-2) defeated Maine 40-15 last Saturday to make the quarterfinals.

This marks the fourth time in the past five years that UNH has advanced to the quarterfinal round of the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision playoffs.

The Panthers lead the all-time series against the Wildcats (2-0) after winning in 2005 at Cowell Stadium (24-21) and finishing on top last year in Cedar Falls (38-35). This marks the third time in four years that these two teams have met in the NCAA FCS playoffs.
