South Dakota State at Oklahoma State picks and predictions

Prediction

Oklahoma State 38, South Dakota State 20

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value on Oklahoma State (-365) to take down the Jackrabbits (+285) on opening day.

Against the spread

BET OKLAHOMA STATE -9.5 (-120).

While South Dakota State is the top FCS school in the nation currently and is returning QB Mark Gronowski, it will be unable to compete against an Oklahoma State team that fell just 4 times last season. In front of its home crowd, expect the Cowboys to dominate on both ends of the ball. A quick start for the Cowboys is all it will take to bury the Jackrabbits.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 54.5 (-110).

While the Cowboys will be expected to dominate on Saturday and will be forced to carry a majority of the load, South Dakota State is capable of finding the end zone. Gronowski is a dual-threat QB which will open up opportunities for his squad to score. The total may come down to garbage time, but both teams are more than able to reach it.

Cass County Deputy being investigated by the ND BCI resigns

FARGO, N.D. (Valley News Live) – A Cass County Sheriff’s Deputy who is under investigation by the the North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) has resigned from the department.

Cass County Sheriff Jesse Jahner says he was contacted by the BCI in September saying they were initiating an investigation into Deputy Carson Quam for alleged criminal activity. Jahner says the Sheriff’s Office was unaware of any criminal activity Quam was potentially involved with.

On November 21, the Sheriff’s office announced that Quam is no longer an employee of the Cass County Sheriff’s Office.

Jahner says the information was not released in September because it was an active and ongoing investigation from another agency.

“Any time criminal allegations are made against one of my employees, my Office will always collaborate with the investigating and prosecuting agencies to assist throughout the investigation and potential prosecution, working to ensure the integrity of the case. If criminal activity is substantiated, it will not be tolerated. My Office will always strive through rigorous background checks, department training, and accountability to put the best deputies in our communities to protect and serve our citizens,” said Sheriff Jahner.

The Cass County Sheriff’s Office says it is unable to comment further pending investigation and review by the Grand Forks and Cass County States Attorney’s Offices. Valley News Live will continue to follow this situation as it develops.

Snow gives wildfire responders first chance to catch breath in months

BISMARCK, N.D. (KFYR) – First responders finally have a chance to catch a breath after an intense couple of months.

Hunter Noor with the North Dakota Forest Service said the snow is bringing some much-needed moisture to dry areas in the state. He said first responders and volunteers who have been working since October to manage the fires hope the snow continues because it could mean the end of a historic wildfire season.

“I’d like to say we are done, but I’m going to knock on wood when I say it, because you never know what Mother Nature’s going to throw at you. So, December— it could warm back up to 40, 50 degrees, you could have another wind event and see more fires— but looking at the forecast, looking at what they’re predicting, it looks like we’re going to slide into the winter season, hopefully pretty quietly,” Noor said.

He said more precipitation should help keep any potential fires at bay.
