                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, January 16, 2024

  Mr. JOHNSON of South Dakota. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to 
congratulate the South Dakota State University Jackrabbits football 
team on their second straight win in the Division I Football 
Championship Subdivision title. SDSU recently defeated the University 
of Montana Grizzlies 23-3 to secure the national title win.
  This season, the Jackrabbits finished undefeated, winning all 15 of 
their games. Their undefeated season and ability to reach the playoffs 
for the last 12 seasons shows the players and coaching staff's 
dedication to success in the sport.
  Under the leadership of first-year head coach Jimmy Rogers, the team 
finished with one of the best FCS defenses of the season and an offense 
that often outscored opponents by over 28 points on average. I 
congratulate the team for all their hard work this season and wish them 
luck as they prepare for another exceptional season this year.
