The South Dakota State University football team kicks off the 2018 season by playing up a subdivision with a trip to Iowa State Saturday.
Start time is set for 7 p.m. at Jack Trice Stadium in Ames, Iowa. The game can be heard on 570 WNAX.
Both squads are coming off breakthrough seasons in 2017. The Jackrabbits, who are ranked third in both major preseason Football Championship Subdivision polls, set a single-season school record for victories as part of an 11-3 season in which they reached the FCS playoff semifinals for the first time in program history.
Iowa State, meanwhile, finished the 2017 campaign with an 8-5 overall record, culminating with an AutoZone Liberty Bowl victory over Memphis. The Cyclones, who received votes in the preseason Associated Press poll, posted a 5-4 mark in the Big 12 Conference, including wins over nationally ranked Oklahoma and TCU.
