• In the opening quarter, Ben Heeney downed a punt on the South Dakota State 1, putting huge pressure on the Jackrabbit offense. But Zenner, who won the starting running back job in spring training, popped through a big hole up the middle, brushed off one would-be tackler and unfurled the longest run in South Dakota State's 115-year football history.

Oglala Sioux Tribe President John Yellow Bird Steele had issued an evacuation order for residents of Slim Buttes, Calico, Tobacco, Number 4 Payabaya, Lakeside and Oglala.
• Triple-digit temperatures, low humidity and gusty winds didn't help Saturday's efforts to fight the flames.
