The South Dakota State Jackrabbits are on fire offensively, and they’re not a team I’m looking to step in front of right now. The St. Thomas – Minnesota Tommies have had some recent covering success, but they haven’t played a game in two weeks, so you should expect some rust. South Dakota State isn’t the team you want to play after a long layoff. This game could get ugly.
