FRISCO, Texas — South Dakota State plays Montana for the NCAA Division I Football Championship Sunday, and something has to give.
For Montana coach Bobby Hauck, it’s a string of three losses in these games: His Griz lost in the final in 2004, 2008 and ‘09.
Meanwhile the defending champion Jackrabbits are looking for their first-ever win over Montana. Incredibly, given their recent success — 12 straight playoff appearances, 28 straight wins — they are 0-8 against the Silvertips.
