South Dakota State will host New Hampshire for First Round matchup
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) – For the 14th consecutive season, SDSU is in the playoffs.
With a record of 8-4 they will host 8-4 New Hampshire.
A little over four weeks ago South Dakota State was undefeated.
On Saturday they snapped a 4 game losing streak.
The Jacks are happy to keep playing football.
Graham Goering, SDSU wide receiver said, “We’re just blessed for any opportunity we are given. I think having some losses, there’s really never a doubt there actually and I think just seeing our name on screen ignites a little fire for everyone on the team. So obviously just blessed and excited for new season.”
Head coach Dan Jackson said, “This team has been close and galvanized for a long time, but what I do think it does it breathes a little bit of new life in them and last four weeks have been pretty heavy for them because they have been giving us all they have while at the same time not getting results they wanted. For them to be able to take a deep breath and remember who they are, and remember we can win and win in big moments, I think we have a really confident team that feels amazing right now not only after that play but how they competed the entire game.”
SDSU hosts New Hampshire at noon at Dana J. Dykhouse Stadium.
