An unorthodox spring season for Delaware football came to an end Saturday afternoon in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) semifinals, as the South Dakota State Jackrabbits defeated the Blue Hens 33-3 in a dominating victory.
Following two playoff wins versus Sacred Heart and Jacksonville State, the Blue Hens had no answer for the Missouri Valley Football Conference Champions and No. 1 seed South Dakota State. Coach John Stiegelmeier’s Jackrabbits will head down to Frisco, Texas to face No. 3 Sam Houston State in the FCS National Championship this Sunday.

No matter the result, the Division I NCAA Football Championship will have a first-time national champion during its spring season.
South Dakota State and Sam Houston State navigated their way through the semifinals Saturday. The Bearkats were runners-up to North Dakota State in 2011 and 2012 and haven t gotten that close to a title since. The Jackrabbits, meanwhile, are in the final for the first time in program history, having reaching the FCS semifinals in 2017 and 2018.
