Youngstown State went punch-for-punch with top-ranked South Dakota State but couldn’t capitalize on key chances. Despite outgaining SDSU 431–402, missed opportunities, penalties, and injuries proved costly.
Beau Brungard shined with 275 passing yards, three touchdowns, and 130 yards on the ground, but a dominant third quarter from the Jackrabbits turned the tide.
No moral victories — it’s on to a huge matchup at North Dakota.
