  "account": "Brookings, S.D. (AP) — Chase Mason led South Dakota State to a 31-21 win over South Dakota in Saturday night's game. Mason threw two touchdown passes and Josiah Johnson and James Basinger combined for 200 yards rushing and two scores. The Jackrabbits built a 28-point lead and held off the Coyotes. Austyn Modrzewski threw a crucial 4-yard touchdown pass to Brayden White to start the fourth quarter, and his 59-yarder to Bryce Cohoon later narrowed the gap to 28-14. Modrzewski completed 22-yard touchdown pass to Chris Herrin to make the score 28-21 with 2:08 left, but Johnson's 43-yard run and Tristan Alvano's 34-yard field goal sealed the victory. South Dakota State's Mason was 16-of-26 passing for 232 yards. South Dakota ended the game with 84 yards on the ground from Basinger. The Jackrabbits have beaten the Coyotes 11 times in the last 14 meetings.",
