Historically, North Dakota has dominated its rivalry with South Dakota. The Fighting Hawks lead the Coyotes 61-29-5 in the series and were considered to be favorites to hoist the Sitting Bull Trophy again in 2017. However, South Dakota’s recent win over Bowling Green was a shot across the bow to their northern brethren. Now, the Coyotes are actually favored to win this game and announce that all four schools in the Dakotas are now FCS powers.
