South Dakota State Survives Aggies’ Rally, Wins 24-22

The #2 Jackrabbits got off to a slow start in Brookings on Saturday night. The visiting Aggies from UC Davis, the same team SDSU had knocked off in last year’s playoffs, were in town and were threatening early. Rex Connors had just stepped in front of a Mark Gronowski pass an intercepted it to kill the drive. One play later, though, Deaton McGaughy snagged it right back for the Jacks, a play that was indicative of the night to come for both teams. UC Davis would have its chances but somehow, someway the Jacks would fight back to pick up a gutsy first win of the 2022 campaign.
