What happened

ESPN RECAP

Christion has 4 TDs; South Dakota State beats UNI 37-22

(STATS) -- Not many FCS teams had been hotter than Northern Iowa since its regular-season win over South Dakota State, although, ironically, the Jackrabbits were one of them. So were they ever anxious for another chance to play UNI on Saturday. The No. 5-seeded Jackrabbits dominated the rematch, scoring on all five of their first-half possessions en route to a 37-22 victory in the second round of the FCS playoffs at Dana J. Dykhouse Stadium in Brookings. Quarterback Taryn Christion threw for three touchdowns and rushed for one to fuel South Dakota State (10-2), which takes a six-game winning streak into the quarterfinals. Next Saturday, the 'Rabbits will host New Hampshire (9-4), a 21-15 upset winner over No. 4 seed Central Arkansas. UNI (8-5) was a mere 2/3 when it won 38-18 at South Dakota State on Oct. 14.
