THE TURNING POINT

THE SKINNY

Offense, offense and more offense.

Sam Houston State jumped out to a 41-14 lead at the half thanks to four first-half touchdowns from wide receiver Davion Davis, but South Dakota stormed back in the second half in a wild contest.

The Coyotes scored 21 unanswered points to make it a 41-35 game, and later crept within 2 points at 44-42 with 10:45 left in the fourth, but SHSU answered with a touchdown and a field goal then got the defensive stop noted above to seal the victory.

Both quarterbacks — South Dakota's Chris Streveler and Sam Houston State's Jeremiah Briscoe — threw for more than 500 yards and the two teams combined for 1,345 yards of offense and 13 touchdowns.

PREVIEW OF NEXT WEEK

Sam Houston State has a matchup with upset-minded Kennesaw State, who just took down No. 3 seed Jacksonville State in the second round in a 17-7 victory. The Bearkats defense will need to stay disciplined against the triple option attack from the Owls, but if the offense keeps rolling it may not matter.
