A South Dakota State Win Would ...
Make SDSU 7-2 on the season for the first time at the Division I level ... give State its second Power Five win this season and seventh since moving to Division I ... even the series 1-1 all-time with Mississippi ... make Otzelberger 25-19 at South Dakota State ... make SDSU 1,490-1,026-1 all-time.
A South Dakota State Loss Would ...
Put the Jacks at 6-3 ... make SDSU 0-2 all-time against Mississippi ... make Otzelberger 24-20 at South Dakota State ... make SDSU 1,489-1,027-1 all-time.
