Nov. 15            at Southern Illinois*

It's a lot of local and regional matchups early for USD, who will face off with Iowa State, Northern Colorado, and Drake within the first four weeks.

Lamar is the opponent in Week 2, a team that the Yotes just saw last season, a 35-6 win at home. Next year, USD will travel to Texas for the matchup.

The NDSU rivalry tilt will be early, a September 27th collision in Fargo, while the SDSU contest is earmarked for the second-to-last game on the season on November 8th.

If you're looking for advantages, it certainly could help that of the final four games (the playoff push), three of them are at home for the Yotes.
