Sam Houston State Bearkats vs South Dakota State Jackrabbits: Prediction

South Dakota State Jackrabbits

Sam Houston State's quarterback Eric Schmid has been up and down all season and is coming off a tough semi-final game against James Madison. Schmid threw two interceptions against the Dukes.

South Dakota State have been dominating their opponents throughout the playoffs and will look to continue doing it. The Jackrabbits' strong defense will be key in this game and could lead them to their first national championship trophy. Sam Houston State will likely fall short once again in the FCS national championship.

Score Prediction: South Dakota State Jackrabbits 35, Sam Houston State Bearkats 21
