GOLDEN, Colo. – The Black Hills State University football team fell for the first time in RMAC action on Saturday afternoon as they dropped a 52-24 contest to No. 4/7 Colorado School of Mines.
The Orediggers grabbed all momentum out of the gates as they went up two possessions in a matter of two minutes to begin the game, en route to a 35-point first quarter in their homecoming victory to extend their conference-leading 24-game win streak in league play.
Meanwhile, the South Dakota Mines Hardrockers got a win Saturday, as they beat Fort Lewis 49-33.
And in FCS action Saturday:
VERMILLION, S.D. (AP) — Aidan Bouman threw two touchdown passes, Travis Theis and Charles Pierre Jr. ran for two scores each and South Dakota beat Southern Illinois 42-13 in a Missouri Valley Football Conference opener Saturday that matched two top-25 FCS teams.
