Yotes Look to Build on Big Season

Yotes Look to Build on Big Season

Last year, the University of South Dakota Coyotes opened up the season with a 35-10 loss to SEC opponent Missouri and then won 10 of the next 11 games including a first round playoff win and hosting two playoff games.

The Yotes finished 10-3 with just one conference loss and splitting its two games with North Dakota State. It was a seven win improvement from a 3-8 season in 2022. Now, the Yotes want to build off of it and continue to get stronger. Bob Nielson, head coach of the Yotes says there has to be consistency from last year to this year…

The Coyotes relied a lot on the great defense last year, but this year Nielson says it’s time to rely on the offense early on in the season…

Aiden Bouman returns as the quarterback of the Coyotes and Nielson says he’s a year better and they’re going to put more on his plate…

South Dakota opens the season on Thursday, August 29 against Division II in-state Northern State with a 7:00 kickoff from the DakotaDome in Vermillion.
