After four road games to start their 2016 campaign, the Simpson Storm football team will start 2017 in the familiar confines of Bill Buxton Stadium this afternoon when the University of Wisconsin-Stout makes their way to Indianola.

The Storm fell in their matchup against Stout in the opener last season 45-30, after a late surge put the game away for the Blue Devils outscoring Simpson 28-13 in the second half. Sam Sasso split time at quarterback last year for Simpson, but will be the main option under center after being named the starter, he threw for over 400 yards and 4 touchdowns in 2016. The game will be broadcast live on AM 1320 and FM 95.3 KNIA, with Andrew Swadner and Rick Wilson on the call. Pregame starts at 12:35 and kickoff is scheduled for 1pm in Indianola.
