The South Dakota State University football team concludes a four-game homestand Saturday afternoon by hosting Southern Illinois in the 106th Hobo Day Game.
Saturday’s contest also serves as the Missouri Valley Football Conference opener for both teams.
Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. and the game will be heard on 104.1 The Wolf.
The Jackrabbits, who continue to hold the No. 3 spot in both the STATS FCS media poll and FCS coaches’ rankings, enter Saturday’s game with a 3-1 record. SDSU ran its home winning streak to 14 games with a 43-7 victory over Southern Utah on Sept. 21.
Southern Illinois also is coming off its lone bye week of the regular season and comes into the matchup with a 2-2 overall mark. The Salukis played a pair of Football Bowl Subdivision opponents during the nonconference slate and came away with a split by defeating Massachusetts, 45-20, before falling at Arkansas State, 41-28, two weeks ago.
