Missouri State (1-1) vs South Dakota (1-1) Game Preview

What’s Going To Happen

Missouri State was able to get by a bad Western Illinois team, and last week was shutout by North Dakota State 25-0.

Bobby Petrino’s team has a few playmakers – QB Jaden Johnson isn’t bad, and WR Damoriea Vick is among the most dangerous receivers in the Missouri Valley Conference – but not they have to deal with a solid South Dakota team that wasn’t bad in battling red hot North Dakota.

The Coyotes have been great at taking the ball away, the run defense is better than it showed in the 21-10 loss to the Fighting Hawks, and they’re about to come up with a whole lot takeaways against a Missouri State O that’s not nearly tight enough.

South Dakota will be +2 in turnover margin and the ground game will roll for well over 200 yards.
