A South Dakota heave, a prayer and a few tips helped the Coyotes defeat South Dakota State, 23-20 Saturday.

South Dakota quarterback Carson Camp and the offense had one second remaining in the game and were snapping the ball from about their own 44-yard line. Camp rolled to his right, avoided a would-be Jackrabbits tackler and launched the ball nearly 60 yards to the end zone.

South Dakota State running back Pierre Strong Jr. rushed for 103 yards on 28 carries. Strong put the Jackrabbits up three with a 4-yard touchdown run. But 6:10 remained in the game, enough time for the miracle throw from Camp to Webb.

The teams didn’t play last season because of the coronavirus pandemic. South Dakota hadn’t won a game against South Dakota State since 2000.
