    A look inside Saturday's game against South Dakota State

    THE STORYLINE
    With another come-from-behind win in the books, Montana State takes a one-week respite from the rigors of conference play to face a team with all the earmarks of Big Sky opponent. South Dakota State brings a multiple, pass-oriented offense and a physical, athletic defense to Bozeman for the first meeting between these intersectional rivals since 1966. The Jackrabbits are 4-2 in their first season as a Division I-AA school, including an impressive win over Great West Conference rival North Dakota State and a tough seven-point loss at #6 Cal Poly.
