dii football

One of the more inspiring football careers the NFL has seen in recent memory has officially come to a close.

The Augustana Vikings were once again good enough to be considered for the postseason in the DII ranks this season, but came up just a tad short last weekend in the eyes of the selection committee.

The Augustana Vikings just won't quit. For the third time this season in a 6-0 start on Saturday, the team found themselves down late in the fourth quarter.

It was a tale of two different outcomes for our area DII programs on Saturday, as the Augustana Vikings rolled to a Viking Days victory at home over Winona State, while USF fell at Mankato.

It was another busy weekend locally for our area college football programs, and Augie and USF had split results on Saturday.

At long last, the Sioux Falls Cougar football program is back in the AFCA Top 25. It comes after another dominant win for the program in Bemidji, as the team currently sits with an unblemished 3-0 mark in 2025.

Both the USF Cougars and the Augustana Vikings are out to impressive 2-0 starts to the season.

Both of the Sioux Falls-based DII college football programs are out to strong starts this season, and that continued on Saturday.

The Augustana Vikings overcame a 10-point second half deficit in their opener to begin the season with a 1-0 mark.

Roster cutdowns have been made, and its time now for NFL teams to work on assembling their practice squads.
