Teams From South Dakota to Play In Kansas

football clip artBROOKINGS, S.D. (AP) – South Dakota Division I football fans looking to catch their teams’ openers against FBS foes have to hit the road to the state of Kansas.

Saturday’s cross-state doubleheader begins at 11 a.m. Central in Lawrence as South Dakota State takes on Kansas. The nightcap is in Manhattan, with South Dakota facing Kansas State.

South Dakota State posted a 9-5 record in 2014. The Jackrabbits are retooling their offense after the graduation of running back Zach Zenner, but coach John Stiegelmeier says Brady Mengarelli, Kyle Paris and Isaac Wallace had good camps and are ready to step up.

South Dakota is looking to rebound from a disappointing 2-10 season marred by injuries. Coyotes coach Joe Glenn said he’s happy to get off to a healthy start in 2015.
