After opening the season with a pair of home victories, the top-ranked South Dakota State football team heads out on the road for the first time in 2023, traveling to Minneapolis for a neutral-site matchup against Drake.
Kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m. at Target Field, home of the Minnesota Twins. Television coverage on Midco Sports begins at 2 p.m., with the game also streamed on ESPN+.
The Jackrabbits bring a 16-game winning streak into their final nonconference matchup of the regular season. SDSU improved to 2-0 on the young season with a
20-16, come-from-behind victory over third-ranked Montana State before a capacity Beef Bowl crowd on Sept. 9.
Drake, meanwhile, is in search of its first win of the season after dropping a 27-24 overtime decision to defending NAIA national champion Northwestern (Iowa) last weekend. The Bulldogs faced another ranked Missouri Valley Football Conference opponent, North Dakota, in their season opener, falling 55-7 in Grand Forks.
