South Dakota
State-U rivalry game among several national television dates for SDSU & USD football
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) – The Rushmore State’s biggest rivalry will have it’s biggest stage ever this October.
ESPN announced their television schedule and, as part of a new deal with the Missouri Valley Football Conference to televise two of the league’s games nationally each season on one of their linear networks, October 26th’s game between South Dakota and South Dakota State from Dana J. Dykhouse Stadium in Brookings will be nationally televised.
Kickoff time and which ESPN channel will carry the game will be announced at a later date.
Dating back to 1889, the oldest State-U rivalry game in the United States will have it’s 117th meeting this year with SDSU looking to win their third straight in the series. In what was a battle of top five ranked teams in the FCS last year the top-ranked Jackrabbits, who went on to win their second straight FCS National Championship, rolled to victory at fourth-ranked South Dakota 37-3 on October 28th.
In fact both teams will be getting some additional exposure across the country this fall. We thought SDSU’s game at Oklahoma State might get moved or nationally televised but as of now it’s still set for Saturday, August 31st, and can be streamed on ESPN Plus and Big 12 now. In addition to the USD game, the Dakota Marker game the week prior against North Dakota State in Fargo will also be televised on an ESPN network. The Jacks have won five straight games against the Bison including their 2022 FCS National Championship Game meeting in Frisco, Texas. In their most recent meeting on November 4th, 2023, SDSU whipped NDSU 33-19 to hoist the Dakota Marker for the fourth straight time (the trophy was not in play during the National Championship).
The Coyotes will also get a second nationally televised game with their September 7th game at Wisconsin set for FS 1. That’s also the only game with a known kickoff time at 2:30 central. The rest will be announced later.

CANCUN, Mexico — Jurian Dixon scored 13 points and Andre Henry had 11 to lead a balanced effort as UC Irvine beat South Dakota State, 64-52, on Wednesday night in the Cancun Challenge.
Kyle Evans had 10 points and 10 rebounds for the Anteaters (4-4), who survived turning the ball over 20 times and ended their three-game losing streak at the Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya.
Elijah Chol had 10 points and seven rebounds, while Tama Isaac also scored 10 points (seven on free throws) and all-tournament selection Derin Saran contributed six points, six rebounds, three assists and three steals.
“It was a good bounce-back game for us,” said Evans, who was named the player of the game. “We wanted this game badly and wanted to leave Cancun with a win. I thought we moved the ball well today, making one or two more passes. Offensively we took a big step tonight and I think it showed.”
UCI shot 38.8% from the floor but outrebounded SDSU 42-33 and made 21 of 28 free throws, including a 20-of-24 showing in the second half.
Trey Buchanan finished with 12 points and two steals to lead the Jackrabbits (4-4), who shot a season-worst 31.7% from the field, 4 for 23 from 3-point range and went 10 for 17 at the free-throw line. Jaden Jackson added eight points and six rebounds, and Joe Sayler also scored eight points.
UCI held a 29-22 halftime lead and extended its advantage when the Jackrabbits went ice cold after the break. SDSU scored just two points in the first 10 minutes of the second half as UCI built a 39-24 lead with 10:43 left.
A thunderous two-handed dunk from Evans started an 11-6 run, then after four consecutive free throws by Isaac and two by Harrison Carrington, Evans added two more from the stripe and Henry hit a 3-pointer to give the Anteaters their largest lead at 52-36 with 5:15 remaining.
UCI held a 58-43 lead with 1:39 left before the Jackrabbits scored six unanswered points to get within nine points. Dixon made a pair of free throws before an SDSU 3-pointer cut it to an eight-point margin with 46 seconds left, but that was the end of the threat.
UP NEXT
UCI plays at San Jose State on Sunday at 2 p.m., its last game before Big West Conference play begins next Thursday (Dec. 4) with a home game against UC Riverside.
