After having their Sept. 1 scheduled football season opener at Iowa State canceled due to inclement weather, the Jackrabbits of South Dakota State University will give it another go as they host Montana State in the Fifth Annual Dairy Drive.
Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. Saturday at Dana J. Dykhouse Stadium. The game can be heard on 570 WNAX.
The Jackrabbits enter the matchup once again ranked third this week in both the STATS FCS and AFCA Coaches’ polls.
Montana State, meanwhile, has a game under its belt as the Bobcats posted a 26-23 home win over Western Illinois on Aug. 30. The Bobcat defense posted four sacks while sophomore quarterback Troy Andersen accounted for 226 yards of total offense (145 rushing, 81 passing) to pace the Bobcat offense. In addition, kicker Tristan Bailey was named STATS FCS Special Teams Player of the Week after kicking four field goals (21, 35, 47 and 50 yards) in the season-opening win.
Montana State is receiving votes in both major Football Championship Subdivision polls this week.
