VERMILLION, S.D. -- No. 4 South Dakota came into Saturday's contest with the best offense in FCS and it was on display all afternoon in Vermillion as the Coyotes rolled to a 56-6 win over Indiana State inside the DakotaDome.

The Coyotes improved to 6-0, 3-0 MVFC while the Sycamores fell to 0-6, 0-3 MVFC. USD put up the most yards against a Sycamore defense since 2014 when the Hoosiers totaled 566 yards.
Isaac Harker went 17-of-25 for 154 yards in his first start since the Sycamores home opener against Eastern Illinois. Harker led the Sycamores on a 13-play -- 66-yard opening drive that was capped off by a 35-yard field goal from Jerry Nunez.

South Dakota answered back with a seven play -- 75-yard drive that was finished off by Chris Streveler connecting on a 55-yard touchdown pass to Brandt Van Roekel. With the touchdown, South Dakota went ahead 7-3 and never looked back. The touchdown was one of four in the air Saturday for Streveler as he put up 337 yards in the air to go with 82 rushing yards.

Nunez added a 20-yard field goal to start the second quarter but that would be all the scoring the Sycamores would be able to muster as the USD defense was able to stave off ISU the remainder of the game. The Yotes reeled off seven more touchdowns in the contest as they cruised to the victory. Each of the Coyotes final seven touchdown plays totaled 20-yards or more.
ISU started the game 3-of-4 on third down with short yardage situations, but finished the contest just 4-of-16.

Kody Case and Van Roekel had two receiving touchdowns to lead the Coyotes. Van Roekel had 108 yards on seven receptions. Michael Fredrick rushed for 82 yards and a touchdown on nine carries.

Jacquet McClendon had seven receptions for 41 yards to lead the ISU receiving core while Bob Pugh had three receptions for 36 yards. LeMonte Booker rushed for 41 yards on 12 carries.

Though the South Dakota offensive unit was dominate throughout the contest, the Indiana State defense did something that no other team had accomplished this season as they forced the USD offense into its first turnover of the year. Brento Locket, who also led the Sycamore defense with eight tackles jarred the ball loose in the third quarter from USD running back Ben Klett. Inoke Moala then jumped on the ball for the Sycamores.

Freshman cornerback Mekhi Ware also added seven tackles for the Sycamores while De'Jaun Tyson and Jonas Griffith had six tackles each.

A bright spot on the day for the Sycamores was the performance of Sycamore punter Thomas Bouldin. The Brea, California product punted eight times for an average of 48.9 yards. Bouldin notched a season long 68-yard punt in the second quarter.

Indiana State will return to Terre Haute next weekend for Homecoming as the team will play host to Southern Illinois. Kickoff is slated for 3 p.m. ET from Memorial Stadium.
