The South Dakota State University football team will play its first road game in more than a month, traveling Saturday to face Youngstown State in a battle of ranked teams from the Missouri Valley Football Conference.
Kickoff is set for 5 p.m. Central at Stambaugh Stadium in Youngstown, Ohio. The game can be heard on 570 WNAX.
SDSU, which continues to be ranked third in both the STATS FCS media poll and by the Football Championship Subdivision coaches, enters the game with a 4-1 overall record, including a 1-0 mark in league play after opening the conference slate with a 28-10 Hobo Day victory over Southern Illinois on Oct. 5. The Jackrabbits completed a four-game homestand with a perfect record after opening the season with a 28-21 loss at Minnesota on Aug. 29.
The Penguins also are 4-1 overall, but suffered their first loss of the season in their MVFC opener last weekend, falling 21-14 at Northern Iowa. YSU is ranked 17th (FCS coaches) and 19th (STATS) is this week’s polls.
