The mantra for the South Dakota State football has been “Last Play” since a 2014 playoff loss in the closing seconds at North Dakota State.
Saturday afternoon, the Jackrabbits scored on a 2-yard touchdown pass from Taryn Christion to Jake Wieneke with a single-second remaining to knock off the top-ranked Bison, 19-17, before a crowd of 18,828 at the Fargodome.
With the win, the Jackrabbits improved to 4-2 overall and 3-0 in the Missouri Valley Football Conference. NDSU dropped to 5-1 overall and 2-1 in league play. SDSU also gained possession of the Dakota Marker for the first time since 2009.
SDSU’s victory came after the Jackrabbits came up empty in three previous red-zone possessions – two of which resulted in turning the ball over on downs and the third on an interception in the end zone.
