FCS national title live score, highlights and analysis: South Dakota State football vs. Montana
The day has finally arrived for South Dakota State football.
The top-ranked Jackrabbits have a chance to capture their second-straight FCS national title when they take on the second-ranked Montana Grizzlies on Sunday afternoon in Frisco, Texas. SDSU (14-0) has not lost a game since Week 1 of the 2022 season and is looking to extend that winning streak today. Montana (13-1) is making its first trip to the national title game since 2009.
Our Argus Leader sports reporter, Jonathan Fernandez, is live on the scene in Frisco today. While he’s in the press box covering the game, follow along in this blog file for up-to-the-minute updates on all the biggest plays from the national title game.

As South Dakota legislative session nears, dozens of bills already filed
The 2026 South Dakota legislative session is still a week away but we’re already seeing dozens of bills being introduced.
The Legislative Research Council’s website shows more than 60 bills already on tap as of Tuesday.
But many more are on the way. In recent years, the Legislature has seen on average around 500 bills per session. Generally, a little under half end up being signed into law.
Some of the early bills include an act allowing for the removal of a county commissioner and another creating a tax exemption for data centers.
Attorney General Marty Jackley is also introducing a host of bills including one allowing law enforcement to seize cryptocurrency that’s part of a criminal investigation.
“Cryptocurrency has become a haven for scammers, drug traffickers, and human traffickers, costing South Dakotans millions in losses and fueling online crime,” said Jackley. “This legislation adds ‘digital currency’ to South Dakota’s seizure laws, giving law enforcement the tools to confiscate illicit crypto assets and disrupt criminal networks hiding behind digital secrecy.”
A full list of bills and resolutions is available on the LRC’s website.
The 2026 session begins Jan. 13.
