Northwestern Dominates South Dakota State in Season Opener

Northwestern defeated South Dakota State 34-18 in Week 1 of the 2026 season, with the Wildcats pulling away in the fourth quarter. Northwestern scored 7 points in the first quarter, 3 in the second, 7 in the third, and 17 in the fourth to secure the convincing home victory.

Joseph Himon II led Northwestern's offense with 87 rushing yards, while receiver Hayden Eligon II had 8 receptions. South Dakota State's Chase Mason completed passes for 285 yards but couldn't generate enough offensive production to keep pace.

The game's most significant play came late when Himon II rushed for an 80-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter, extending Northwestern's lead. South Dakota State managed two lead changes during the contest but couldn't overcome Northwestern's fourth-quarter surge.

Northwestern covered the 12.5-point spread handily, and the game went over the 48.5-point over-under total. The Wildcats' dominant fourth-quarter performance proved decisive in establishing early momentum for the season.
