South Dakota State vs Oregon Prediction 

Oregon comes into this matchup with a 2-0 record to start the season, but neither win has been very impressive. The Ducks barely escaped against Hawaii and Rice in those two games and they are shooting just 34.5% from the field. South Dakota State only scored 58 points in their loss to Northern Iowa, but they are shooting 44.7% from the field this year. I think the Jackrabbits can keep this game competitive, as we haven’t seen many positives from Oregon. Take South Dakota State and the points here.
