AMES, Iowa – Iowa State and South Dakota State have agreed to move their 2027 season opener at Jack Trice Stadium to Saturday, Aug. 28. The game was previously scheduled to be played on Saturday, Sept. 4, but a recent rule change allows all schools to start a week earlier.
The game marks head coach Jimmy Rogers’ first against his alma mater and the team he formerly spent 14 seasons coaching, including the final two as head coach. Rogers led the Jackrabbits to a national championship in 2023.
