The Augustana University Vikings and South Dakota State University Jackrabbits will meet on the football field for the first time in two decades on Saturday. The rivalry between the two teams dates back to 1923, with Augustana holding a 36-35-3 record against SDSU. However, the Jackrabbits have been a consistent powerhouse in the Missouri Valley Football Conference since joining the division in 1997, while the Vikings have struggled to compete at the same level. Fans on both sides are excited to see the renewed rivalry, with many recalling past memorable games and traditions.
