SDSU FB…Top-seeded North Dakota State scored three second-quarter touchdowns and the Bison defense held South Dakota State out of the end zone in a 28-3 victory in Football Championship Subdivision second-round playoff action Saturday afternoon at the Fargodome.
   The defending national champion Bison improved to 11-1 overall and will host Wofford (S.C.) in quarterfinal action Dec. 7 or 8.  The Jackrabbits ended their season 9-4 overall.
   After the Bison missed a 43-yard field goal on their opening drive of the game, SDSU put the first points on the board with a six-play, 66-yard drive capped by a 26-yard field goal by Justin Syrovatka two ticks under the three-minute mark of the opening quarter. A 49-yard pass play down the middle of the field from Austin Sumner to Brandon Hubert set up what would be the only score for the Jackrabbits.
   The Bison held a 328-217 advantage in total offense, including a 218-21 edge on the ground. John Crockett finished the game with 11 carries for 90 yards, while Sam Ojuri gained 65 yards on 19 carries. Brock Jensen finished the game 15-of-25 passing for 110 yards, with Ryan Smith the leading receiver with five catches for 31 yards.
   Jackrabbit running back Zach Zenner was limited to 46 yards on 15 carries, finishing his sophomore season with 2,044 yards..Sumner ended the afternoon 17-of-31 for 196 yards. Senior wide receivers Aaron Rollin and Tyrel Kool each caught five passes for 49 and 48 yards, respectively.

MBB…Jordan Dykstra scored 17 points and South Dakota State kept up its home dominance Saturday, beating Nebraska-Omaha 78-63 in its Summit League opener.
   Dykstra was 7 of 11 from the floor, including three 3-pointers. Tony Fiegen added 16 points and nine rebounds, and Nate Wolters and Brayden Carlson had 13 points apiece for the Jackrabbits (6-2), who led by as many as 31 en route to winning their 21st consecutive home game.  Head coach Scott Nagy says the Jacsk had a great first half.  97621   :12   “five guys guarded”.
   John Karhoff had 16 points on 7-of-9 shooting for the Mavericks (2-7, 0-2), Summit League newcomers this season. Justin Simmons and CJ Carter added 10 apiece. Nebraska-Omaha committed 22 turnovers.
   Chad White, whose 3-pointer in SDSU's last game kept the Jackrabbits' home winning streak alive, was held to four points Saturday, but his heroics weren't necessary this time. SDSU didn't trail after the game's early minutes, led 56-28 at halftime and coasted from there.  Nagy says the Jacks may have regressed in the second half.  97622   :15   “the second half”.
   SDSU now faces a run of tough games, starting Tuesday at Minnesota.  97623   :12   “go into Minnesota”.

   The season in all counties west of the Missouri River will open Dec. 8, and close on Feb. 15. There is no limit on bobcats in West River counties.  A South Dakota Furbearer License is required to hunt or trap bobcats and all bobcats must be checked and tagged by GFP personnel.
   All hunters and trappers who take bobcats are required to remove the pelts from the carcasses and surrender the entire carcasses within five days of harvest to GFP personnel for registration and tagging. Once the season is closed, an individual has 24 hours to notify GFP personnel of any untagged bobcats harvested during the season.

  GFP, in conjunction with South Dakota State University, is conducting research on bobcat carcasses to obtain important population and biological information.  The evaluation project is expected to last the entire season.

MANKATO PORN CASE REJECTED…A judge threw out child pornography charges against a Minnesota college football coach Friday, agreeing with his assertion that cellphone video of his kids dancing naked after a bath was nothing more than innocent child's play.
   Todd Hoffner, the head coach at Minnesota State University-Mankato, has been on administrative leave since the videos were discovered on his university-issued cellphone in August.  Social workers found no evidence the couple's children had been abused, and a search of his home computer found no evidence of child porn.
   Blue Earth County District Judge Krista Jass said she didn't find any evidence that the videos amounted to pornography.
   Dan Benson, a university spokesman, said Hoffner would remain on administrative leave pending the school's own investigation. He had no timetable for when that could be completed.
