No need to hit the panic button. All will be well in Coyote-land tomorrow. We'll have our usual opening day crowd regardless of the NDSU package deal. In fact, I am thinking it will be a better than normal turnout for the game. My car will be one of the "1" plates in the lot on Saturday. Looking forward to a few beers with friends before the game, seeing my buddy yotemeal and company, and cheering the 'Yotes on to victory!

Let's just play football. I suggest tempering the criticism till after the season then petition to have it changed if that's what the majority want. Right now, our team needs our support, whether it's in Vermillion, SF, or on the road.
GO YOTES

its great to get a win, but i see problems down the road. i don't know what our problem is with stopping the run, but hopefully, with 2 weeks till the next game, the coaches can get something figured out. we need some help on defense, maybe time to pull some redshirts and see what they can do to help. since i'm in fl., i don't hear much about anything back home, i was wondering about are two star recruit wiseman, didn't he show enough game to start or are the coaches just thinking about the future?

Can't agree with you more musclehead. I am worried about the defense. They really struggled to stop the run again. Hopefully they can come up with a better scheme since they have 2 weeks off.

Stopping the run in the MV is a must to be successful or it will be a long season down in yote land.

My wife & I drove from RC and had a great time! Our young team hung tough despite getting behind by a TD twice and rallied to win!! Yes the run defense needs to improve and I believe it will. I will be driving to the NDSU game too. All you east river Yote fans need to pack the Dome every game and SF on 10/20!!!

Ease up. It's the truth. It's a run-based league.

yeah exactly, he only posted the truth. The MVFC is a run based league and if USD cannot stop the run, they are going to struggle in the league this year. Personally, I think it's lack of depth on the D-Line and linebacking core.

Thoughts on the game:
Atmosphere was pretty good. Lots of people out there tailgating now. Looks like it gets bigger every year which is turning gameday into an event.
I don't think the Yotes looked very good Saturday. They got the win, yes, but unless there is improvement it could be a long season. From the other posts on this game I think we all have a similar opinion on this subject.
Finally, the 2 o'clock kickoff time, do not like it. Years ago USD used to play games at 2PM and the game times were moved back to 4PM for various reasons to accomodate the fans, among them being parents having kids involved in fall sports, allowing fans more travel time, & hunting. The same reasons exist today why the kickoff should be later. Another reason I'll add is more tailgating time before the game. A 2 PM kickoff doesn't allow much time to get your family stuff done in the morning, go do a little tailgating, and then get to the game. Just my 2 cents on that.
Otherwise a pretty nice day.

Just want to make a couple points. First off, nice win. No doubt we need to takes some major steps to improve the run defense. That being said, I really like our CBs right now. It was great getting Frierson back and true Fr. Reeves from OK looks like a man already. Love seeing that in arguably the second toughest position to recruit on defense (DT #1). Our d-line needs to beef up and occupy more space. The LBs really need to step up this year and play disciplined.
Next, I want to point out that I thought the crowd looked great. The students really showed up in full force. I do wish, however, with that type of crowd, that we would have made a little more noise. I am pretty sure the U wasn't complaining about those 1500 tickets that were sold to NDSU fans. Oh, and I saw PLENTY of #1 plates in the parking lot and, just as importantly, leading the charge in Tailgate Nation.
Go Yotes!

Yes, the students were good to see and that they stayed after halftime! Coach Glenn gave them some love too during the game and I think that was great.
