Can Davis have 100 yards by halftime? Can Bock have 10 tackles in first half? Go Jacks!!

I'd like to see Davis get a couple TDs in the 1st half. Believe he hasn't had a TD all year, which is really odd.

...and Nothing but Isaiah Davis runs until he's in the endzone. 7-0 Jacks.

Mark just looks off throwing the ball today. Offense is uninspired

I was kinda confused why we seemed to be pulling out a lot of trickery against these guys. Puts it on tape I guess but could have been some stuff that would have been nice to have in the back pocket heading into the next two weeks.

Thankfully western is sloppy. We didnt look very good and had hard times get stops till western shot themselves in the foot. I was hoping for a cleaner effort on offense.

[Kemo]

Pretty lackluster game. We dominated the stats and ToP, but the score was a lot closer than it should have been. Hopefully we play a lot cleaner football next week, otherwise USD could very well come in and beat the team we had on the field today.

The Jackrabbits took care of business against a rebuilding WIU. It wasn't always pretty but the Jacks earned the result. Here are the rants & raves. #GoJacks

Regarding the concession/chislic lines, I'd be curious if folks flocking to the latter is due to lack of variety at the former (at least on the east side). For instance, they used to offer burgers and chicken tenders on the east side, but they haven't been this season, so maybe folks are opting for chislic.

Speaking of the east side, there were at least a hundred folks leaving upper rows of Sections 120-121 early in the game (after a UPD officer had gone into that section). Does anyone know what the story was there?

Wind likely impacted some of the throws, and it seemed likely that the one deep incompletion to Janke was due to Jadon looking into the sun

I̢۪d have to agree, seeing what the wind did to some of those kickoffs. Some short throws were just off though, and a few should/could have been caught.

We definitely didn’t look sharp, but that’s not entirely surprising considering the schedule. We were not alone, just take a look at the two teams ahead of us in the rankings. NDSU, famous for second half domination, managed only 6 second half points in a 13 point win against YSU (at home). Montana only beat 0-4 Idaho St by 8 points.

I think this Sat. will be epic.

Jacks need to stay disciplined (because I'm sure there's some angst about how last couple games against 'Yotes have ended), and I hope to have at least a six seat buffer between me and any 'Yotely spectators.

That was the group that went onto the field for the scholarship presentation. I can't remember his name, but he sold some land and donated $17 million for ag scholarships I believe.

According to the game program: The late Maynard Klingbell, a Sully County farmer, left SDSU 2.683 acres of land that was sold for $17 million. Every fall, 16 students in agronomy and precision ag-related majors will get renewable, $10,000 scholarships. ... A great gift from a man who didn't even attend SDSU.
