The focus of the FCS world centers on Brookings, South Dakota this weekend as top ranked South Dakota State welcomes in rival North Dakota State for the 20th renewal of the Dakota Marker Game.

This game may be unlike any other in the history of this series; with the Jackrabbits as prohibitive favorites over the Bison. SDSU has won four straight over NDSU, a fifth straight win will match a streak that hasn't happened since 1910-1917.

NDSU enters with a 6-2 record after back to back wins over Western Illinois and Murray State. They'll enter this game without backup defensive tackle Will Mostaert, who tore his Achilles tendon in the game last week against the Racers.

The Jackrabbits come in on a 22-game win streak, after dusting rival South Dakota 37-3 on the road last Saturday. SDSU hasn't lost at home since October of 2021, a streak of 16 straight wins.

The Forum's Jeff Kolpack and WDAY's Dom Izzo discuss everything about the matchup, they also reflect on the passing of Hall of Fame basketball coach Bob Knight, who died on Wednesday. Knight coached against North Dakota State when he was at Texas Tech in November of 2006.
