rolls on in Week 2 with a matchup against South Dakota at Camp Randall Stadium. The game will kick off at 2:30 p.m. CT and it will be the final preparation game before the Badgers welcome Alabama to town.
Led by head coach Bob Nielson in his 10th season with the program, South Dakota has a lethal running game and a veteran quarterback — Minnesota native Aidan Bouman, who is the son of ex-NFL quarterback Todd Bouman. They were picked to finish third in the Missouri Valley Conference preseason poll. In Week 1, South Dakota blew out Division II oponent Northern State at home 45-3. They attempted only 13 passes but averaged seven yards per carry and racked up 266 rushing yards. Sophomore Charles Pierre Jr. led the team with 136 rushing yards and two touchdowns.
The emergence of programs like North Dakota State and South Dakota State has put FCS football on the map. Both teams have been able to compete against FBS teams in recent years and South Dakota isn't too far behind.
