South Dakota did not hold up against Kansas State, failing to score the entire game. South Dakota gave up a blocked punt that the Wildcats turned into a touchdown, couldn't stop what was called an "impressive" ground game, and gave up a touchdown in the first ten seconds. South Dakota did hold Kansas State to just 96 passing yards. Kansas State won the game 34-0.[ 4]
