This is an intense rivalry between these 2 schools. NDSU has won the championship 10 out of the last 12 years. South Dakota State finally wins their first college football national title defeating their rivals.


No. 1 South Dakota State defeated No. 3 North Dakota State 45-21 to win the 2022 FCS championship. It's the first FCS title in Jackrabbit history.

After the first quarter ended tied 7-7, South Dakota State went on a 21-0 run to pull away from the Bison. In total, the Jackrabbits outscored the Bison 24-7 in the second quarter. From there, South Dakota State went on to score 14 points to defeat its rival in the national championship game to set a new record for FCS title games held in Frisco, TX. The Jackrabbits were powered by a balanced offense, gaining 283 yards and three touchdowns on the ground while quarterback Mark Gronowski passed for 3 touchdowns on 223 yards.

With the win, FCS head coach of the year John Stiegelmeier has won his first title in his 26th season as South Dakota State's head coach. Stieglemeier has also led the Jackrabbits to their first playoff win over North Dakota State and their first four-game winning streak over the Bison since 1947-1950.

This game should’ve been at “high noon” yesterday on Saturday, right before the back to back NFL games. Terrible scheduling by the FCS & ESPN. I wanted to watch this shit.

Did you hit any money on this game QL?
Totally forgot about it too. Likely a good thing since I'd have been on ND St.
No. I was leaning SDSU since they had one of the best rush defenses in the FCS country and NDSU had a one-dimensional rushing offense.

I like their mascot:

It used to be a picture of Bugs Bunny. I always wondered how they got around copyright infringement but perhaps someone finally said something because it was changed up a few years ago.
