Head Coach Bob Nielson and the South Dakota Coyote football program had a phenomenal season in 2023 and are looking strong once again heading into the 2024 campaign.
The Yotes and the Jacks just keep on winning.
After another strong weekend that saw USD finish their regular season home slate with a come-from-behind win, and SDSU notch a shutout victory on the road, both teams remain in the top portion of the rankings.
The South Dakota Coyotes licked their wounds last week in a home loss to top ranked SDSU, and put the introspection to good use, picking up a big win over Southern Illinois on Saturday.
It's been a much needed and hard-fought break for the South Dakota State football team. After winning in the regular season finale on November 12th, the Jacks earned the #1 overall seed in this year's FCS playoffs.
