From one tough SD school to another on the road in a gym ummm dome :D.

Looks like two good defenses! This game comes down to mistakes and penalties xnodx

So far it appears SD has the offensive advantage. xeyebrowx

This should be an old fashioned MVFC slobber knocker!xbowx

Carry on http://www.anygivensaturday.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=26216&stc=1

I know. YSU survives these 3 games and the Guins might be for real. SDSU didn't have me as worried as this weeks game. As always we hope for the best against the Bison xbowx

Good luck at Indy State

I like YSU in this game. I think USD depends too much on Streveler and YSU has the type of disciplined and talented defense to contain him. It also seemed like Streveler was really getting beat up in the WIU game so I think the cumulative effect of all the hits he's taken this year are going to start to catch up with him and USD at some point. It may not be this week but I think it's coming.

Well said. It's really stood out to me how often Streveler runs, hes great at it but 0% chance he lasts the season if he doesn't hand the ball off much more frequently.

I actually kind of like this. Last week when the spread started favoring USD the further into the week it got the opinion on this board kept leaning more and more Western Illinois the further the week went along. The same trend is happening this week. Western was undefeated and beat Coastal Carolina 52-10. USD was up big 38-6 on Western but started to lose their composure. So Western crushed a good team on the road but comes home and losses to the Coyotes. If I put two and two together I like the Yotes on Saturday and maybe big. The small dome can be a nice home field advantage.

Ok, the coyote are much improved over last year, but let's not get carried away. YSU is a legitimately good team that made the title game last year. I'll be impressed enough if the coyote simply make the playoffs. I think you'll find that the going gets a lot tougher from here.

Who knows how the game will play out? No one ever knows, but if I were a betting man, I would think the entire game will be about depth of the two team. I think YSU's depth will start showing up later in the game. I also think that YSU will try to get after their QB. If YSU's 2nd string QB plays it could get interesting because he hasn't shown in throwing downfield.

Yote 53
October 4th, 2017, 09:53 AM
If USD gets out to a fast start like they have in every game this season I see this one having the potential for being a blowout. Not that YSU is a bad team, they are very good, just that with this game being at home, packed house, and Dakota Days as well, there won't be any let down by the Yotes in the second half. This one is going to be a full 60 minute effort by USD.

I don't think it will be a blowout. I think it will be a good game, but I think the Coyotes are riding pretty high right now and this is going to be one turbo charged atmosphere. Things can get downright nuts in the Dakota Dome and the recipe is all there for this one to have an atmosphere like nobody has ever seen before. Dakota Days always brings the element of an alcohol fueled rampage, add in an undefeated team, top 10 matchup, and it being a Bo Pelini team? Wow. Some may not understand how hated Bo is in these parts, him being the former Nebraska coach.

There is a lot going on with this game.

USD getting a lead esrly will be huge. Is YSU built for "coming from" behind? If that happens it will take YSU out of their comfort zone of ground and pound and that will definitely favor USD. I'm sure USD is going to stack the box to limit the rushing attack.

Interesting matchup for sure.

Should be a good game.

I think that is the key. I am worried about YSU getting a lead and lulling us to death with 3-4 yard runs all day.

Everyone(NDSU fans) will doubt the Yotes even if they beat the bison this year. They're used to calling usd a bottom feeder and will at best call usd a middle of the pack team. The only way that will change is if usd wins the conference and make a deep playoff run. The Yotes are for real.

No kidding. Doesn't what you just said make complete sense? USD beat NDSU in 2015 and were nothing better than a middle of the MVFC team. Most years, I assume there are exceptions, but mostly USD has been a lower end to middle of the pack team. No intended disrespect to USD but the records and final conference standings are facts.

To be a upper team you need to make the playoffs and win playoff games...consistently. The Yotes looked good in a win over WIU and if they beat YSU they could position themselves for a seed in the playoffs. The Yotes could be setting themselves up to a be a very good "upper" team for years to come.

I mean since joining the conference in 2012 their best finish is 7th. Which is definitely below middle of the pack. Most conference wins is 3. In fact they either win 3 conference games or 0 conference games. So to be fair until this year they have been basically a perennial bottom feeder.

And best overall record since 2012 is 5-6.

I like to think that YSU will win, but this is a tough game. SD will definitely be ready and being at home will be a nice bonus. I would be feeling better about our chances if I felt good about May's ability to throw the ball deep. Still think YSU will be ready, but this has the makings of a good close game.

Coyote Fan
October 4th, 2017, 10:09 PM
You really can't compare past USD teams to this one as the Coyote Athletic Department finally started to take winning seriously. When Glenn was coach the Coyotes didn't have the assistants in place to help him win. Now the Coyotes have a guy in Nielson who won a championship at Minnesota-Duluth who wasn't exactly a hot bed for football success. Now he comes to USD who has struggled but he has been able to put his staff in place without as much concern regarding the budget. It was almost a total house cleaning from the Glenn era. The problem with that era is that they never cleaned house from the era prior to that. There were unqualified people in jobs they shouldn't have been in. I would say going into the conference season the Leathernecks and Penguins were playing at about the same level. WIU had a great resume coming into the Coyote game and Yotes just crushed them in their first home game for the first 2.5 quarters. Western was absolutely rolling coming into that game. More people are starting to believe in this team but the rise has been so quick that I can understand some still holding out. I did not believe the Coyotes would be as good as they are. They had problems with stopping the run, defense in general and running the ball. I would say all three are better off and borderline much better off. The Yotes improved all their weaknesses without losing their strengths. Nielson has gone above and beyond what I thought he could do but having a full off season this year has helped the program quite a bit. U of SD now has one of the best weight lifting and sports science departments as well. I think that might be playing a small role as well.

This is why the Valley is the best conference in football.

Nielsen is proving what was beginning to happen at WIU, was no fluke. That said, had he been given the full resources to win both on and off the field, I think he would have stayed. The FCOA looks like it is paying off as well as paying his assistant coaches competitive pay across the board is making a huge difference at USeD.

After reading the YSU board, here's my thoughts -- YSU has a very average D. You aren't going to win many games giving up 31 pts. As for the O, I told most of you clowns Mays wasn't much of a QB, doesn't pass well, is prone to mistakes under pressure and only an average runner. There are more games to lose yet in the MVFC.

And, YBR, Monty isn't the worst OC. It's Klacik hands down . Not even closexlolx

That's a good football team, congrats USD. Reed is out with a separate shoulder, he is pretty much the one guy who can get pressure continuously. Play calling at several points during the game was questionable. You cannot expect YSUs LBs to cover one on one speed guys, they lose that one EVERY TIME. As good as YSU lines play was last week, absolutely horrible this week. Winnable game for YSU that ends up a loss. I would assume that there goes the crowd for next weekend, just provided an excuse for everyone to not show up.

YSU lost the game with the stupid conservative play calling at the end. You have the ball, and trying to make USD use their timeouts? Now if USD did not have timeouts running the clock a little, maybe I can understand. Still there are some trick, not seen as much running plays. Then you see them loading on the right against the run, and do it again on the 2nd down? Then on 3rd trying to try to throw long? Use a stick route, play underneath the coverage and at least give your team a chance. And all my experience with football is playing flag. Grown ass OC's should be able to figure this out.

1.YSU was play calling was poor most of the game.
2. Injuries are mounting for YSU and this will be a problem next week as well. multiple people were injured in the SDSU game including the starting An.
3. If YSU was at full strength they are better than USD. But they weren't and they lost.
4. USD is a good team, but and can be beaten.
5. At some point the USD QB will be injured. He has taken a number of hits and It will eventually take its toll.
6. The schedule is horrible for YSU. I'm calling it now, bit I don't think they win next week. They won't be able to neat the top 10 teams woth the back up AN.
7. The back up QB for YSU showed his limitations. NDSU will exploit it next week.
8. I like YSU in a rematch.

5. At some point the USD QB will be injured. He has taken a number of hits and It will eventually take its toll.
6. The schedule is horrible for YSU. I'm calling it now, bit I don't think they win next week. They won't be able to neat the top 10 teams woth the back up AN.
7. The back up QB for YSU showed his limitations. NDSU will exploit it next week.
8. I like YSU in a rematch.

Here are my views on this game.

1.YSU was play calling was poor most of the game.
2. Injuries are mounting for YSU and this will be a problem next week as well. multiple people were injured in the SDSU game including the starting An.

1, 1a and 1b should be your defensive coaching staffs' inability to find a way to slow down the slot receiver, he murdered your team.
NDSU been killing teams from the slot as well, so you have that to look forward to.

The Coyotes were missing some players as well, especially on defense. The Coyotes best line backer was out and they are without their starting left tackle as well. People have been saying that Streveler will get hurt for weeks now and he just keeps getting back up with authority. He is not the typical quarterback build so can take hits that most quarterbacks can't. He actually did a better job of not taking as many hits against Youngstown as he normally does. I do agree that if this game were in Youngstown I think the Pens probably win. Many people said pre game that the Pens would wear down the Coyotes with their depth but people failed to mention how the Coyotes hurry up offense can really wear down a defense, even one as good as Youngstown. People also fail to realize that the Coyotes now have good depth too, and if they didn't they probably would have a loss by now.

No NDSU is still a lock for the Valley auto-bid.
Its always tough to say for sure until the teams actually play each other but I think YSU and USD will be very tough games for NDSU.
NDSU losing both of those games would not surprise me a bit. Those were two very talented well coached teams playing.

USD demonstrated that they have a good defense. They shut down the YSU offense much better then their Northern Neighbors. Along with a good offensive performance the yotes demonstrated that they are a force in the FCS.
