Two South Dakota State University football players have been honored by the Missouri Valley Football Conference for their efforts in the Jackrabbits' 24-14 Hobo Day victory over Northern Iowa.

Earning special teams player of the week for the second time this season was kicker Kyle Harris. A sophomore from Florissant, Mo., Harris kicked a go-ahead 49-yard field goal in the third quarter. He also kept UNI's kickoff return unit in check, booting two touchbacks and recording a tackle on the opening kickoff. Harris also was honored by the league after the Jackrabbits' season-opening win over Georgia Southern.

Junior center Ryan McKnight earned offensive lineman of the week recognition. The Sioux Falls native led an offensive line that paved the way for 429 yards of total offense against UNI. SDSU did not allow a sack in 37 passing attempts and averaged 6.1 yards per play.
