It was a tale of two very different games on Saturday for USD and SDSU.

The Jackrabbits suffered their fourth straight loss on Saturday, this time at home to Illinois State 35-21. The Jacks trailed 28-0 after the first quarter, fell to 7-4 overall and now prep for a very important game at North Dakota on Saturday.

The Yotes are all finished with their regular season slate and picked up their third-straight ranked win over Southern Illinois in a five Overtime thriller. USD had a historically good day on offense and finished out the regular season at 8-4.
