With about three and half minutes left in Saturday's semifinal, South Dakota State faced 4th-and-Goal at Montana State's 26-yard line due to a pair of false start penalties and a strip sack on 3rd-and-13, and the Jackrabbits were unable to reach the end zone, which effectively ended their comeback bid. South Dakota State was 1-for-4 on fourth-down conversion attempts in the game.
Montana State quarterback Tommy Mellott was the headliner in the Bobcats' win as he was responsible for four total touchdowns — two passing and two rushing — while throwing for 229 yards and rushing for a team-high 155 yards on 34 attempts.

After South Dakota State picked up four first downs on its first five offensive snaps, the defense for No. 8 Montana State locked down and forced the Jackrabbits into a turnover on downs at the Bobcats' 7-yard line. South Dakota State had 1st-and-10 at Montana State's 16-yard line after Pierre Strong rushed for a 13-yard gain, but the Jackrabbits ran for just one yard on first down and quarterback Chris Oladokun rushed for six on second down, setting up 3rd-and-3.
Isaiah Davis only got two yards on third down and South Dakota State elected to go for it on 4th-and-1 rather than settle for a chip-shot field goal, but Montana State's defense tackled Davis for a 2-yard loss, forcing a turnover on downs.
7:13 pm, December 18, 2021
South Dakota State won the toss in the second semifinal of the 2021-22 FCS Playoffs and the Jackrabbits deferred to the second half. That decision appears to have paid off – at least initially. South Dakota State forced No. 8 Montana State to punt on its opening drive as the Bobcats picked up two first downs on the game's opening drive before they stalled out at South Dakota State's 44-yard line after quarterback Tommy Mellott only picked up eight yards on 3rd-and-13.
