Different Dakota: SD State wins 1st FCS title over ND State | |
FRISCO, Texas (AP) A different Dakota is celebrating a national championship nearly two decades after the border-state rivals moved up together to the Division I level. "I continue to think back in 2004 and wondering how it was going to work out. Well, this is pretty sweet how it's worked out," coach John Stiegelmeier said after South Dakota State won its first Football Championship Subdivision title Sunday. Mark Gronowski threw three touchdowns and ran 51 yards for another score as the Jackrabbits won 45-21 win over North Dakota State, which lost for the first time in its 10 FCS title game appearances since the move from NCAA Division II.
