hello and welcome inside the Dakota dome in Vermilion South Dakota College football is back tonight in the number five team in the FCS the South Dakota kyotes opening their season at home against the northern state wolves a division 2 Team out of for northern state mat on the approach there goes the boom and we are underway in Vermillion get a fair catch Wade for by stby and he has a little bit of trouble handling it picks it up but the ball is blown dead once only getting his opportunity here tonight hands it off to a very talented running back hey crap and he's into the open field crapped out across the 30 and finally forced out of Bounds at the 45 yd line but how about that for a start for the D2 wolves and first year on the job with Northern State britz dubs it off to the tight end making the catch over there is Gavin gesler and he's ritten out out of bounds quickly after a gain of just a yard to the right of Daniel Brit the quarterback Britt looking to throw wide open out there is the tight end geser's got two catches already on this drive and Northern State into USD territory just in 10 at the South Dakota 37 yd line give it back to craft no brick keeps it himself he's into the open field inside the 20 touchdown Northern State what a start for the excuse me oh stepped out of bounds wow but still great start so far for Northern I mean big play after big play and it seems like they're taking advantage of the coyote right side of the defense so that is either something they saw in film or right now they're just getting exploited that right side of the coyo defense it goes down is just a couple of yards lost but now third down and 11 from the 14 yd line up the middle goes craft he gets a couple of those back down near the 5 yd line give him the six and so a gain of five there for The Talented running back from Timberlake South Dakota if that name sounds familiar that town sounds familiar it should he is the cousin of former South Dakota State tight end current Green Bay Packer tight end Tucker craft so you know it's there's some athleticism in that family cuz both of these guys are ballers so Mike Schmidt elected to try and get the points he sends Jeremy Caruso out transfer from Minot State for his first field goal attempt in a Northern State uniform spotted at the 19 29 yd attempt right down the middle and the and the Northern State wolves strike first on their opening possession and they get a three nothing lead here against South Dakota Bo is a great start for them the cruso on to kick it away back deep for South Dakota it's Keandre Jones Logan he takes it about the three yard line huge hole there goes Jones Logan kandra inside he's going to the house 20 10 touchdown South Dakota well if you're going to have an answer there it is Keandre Jones untouched essentially just ran straight down the field barely had to make very many moves uh so you got to give it up to the guys throwing blocks on this return team but hey that's how you answer if you're a big time team playing in your first game Deandre Jones Lo is the son of coyot all time great Stefan Logan and he looked like him good right there didn't he so I had no idea and yes he does now that you say it it's almost a spitting image of that dude different jersey number great block right there on the kicker just to make sure that nobody has a chance of catching Keandre Logan will Len out for the extra point it's up in good 97 Ys to the house for Keandre Jones Logan ma the left foot boom sailing deep Tai Wy underneath it he'll take it at his own 5 yd line angling toward the left sideline and undercut there a big tackle from South Dakota I think that was Wade Abrams the transfer linebacker from Valpo in to make a big stop on special teams yeah you see they got a little momentum now and we'll see if this defense has made any small adjustment compete in the interior with those big guys will throw the ball around a little bit more they're in this nickel defense with five DBS but so far on this drive theyve still been able to Coral the Run RIT avoids the pressure steps up and takes a shot Gabe Hardman the linebacker delivers a blow just after the original Last Return Man In The Valley is scarter Bell Ellard is an Australian native a former Aussie rules football player four quarters Balman on second and 10 TI trying to get the edge steps through a tackle gets a couple of xrays down inside the 40 yd line a Northern State and forced out of bounds there and that's Ty to his right steps up in the pocket Ty leading the way he's brought down from behind he gets down to the 35 yd line so he got a lot of it back but still well short of the Sticks no we're going to try Zeke mat out here the left footed kicker and mat boots it plenty of leg and it is good Zeke Ma's first field goal attempt here at South Dakota and for loss in a reserve role last year but made the move to the rush linebacker spot and now there's Gary Bryant making plays we've called number 10's number a couple of times already that's a great sign for that offense moving since they really didn't do anything with their first drive yeah aside from that 17y y run from TY couple of plays went backwards inside Gibb is to Ty finds a hole and runs over a guy takes it 12 yards all South Dakota team Ty asked to play some fullback last year ended up being an all conference selection at that position now they'll dump it off does Balman to the other running back kind of the onea Bell guy that set career highs in catches receiving yards last season preseason all Missouri Valley pick Travis Ty off to a good start he's got another first down to the 41 yd line a he flying around to the football as well that talented outside linebacker for this wolves defense second and five Balman looking to throw steps up finds his man that's Bell wide open first down USD at the 25 Y and Jack martins's the motion man from out wide Pierre stutter step inside the 10 tries to step through a tackle can't do it but he's brought down at the 5 yd line that's a gain of 15 yds he leads up Pierre and if it wasn't for uh Lyndon Williams holding on tight he would have scored but he does not back to Pierre into the end zone touchdown South Dakota backto back carries for Charles Pierre Jr he takes it the final 20 yards and South Dakota adds to its Advantage here in Vermillion and it looked really just like the exact same play opposite direction Direction where they pull the guard around just to lead up uh to Pierre Pierre does a good job of finding the crease and finding the end [Music] zone so on is Will Lan for the extra points it is up and it is good so get it out across the 35 yd line for a first down britz back to pass Under Pressure try to get away Nick Gaz gets to him first rips him down and the seniors got his first sack of the Season back to punt standing in his own End Zone Carter Bell should get decent field position once again end overend kick lowline drive bell takes it at his own 45 he's got room off the left side directing traffic Carter bell inside the 20 inside the 10 touchdown South Dakota another special teams touchdown for the coyotes here Carter bill you know the Northern State what happens is their kickoff their punt coverage Team all got caught to the left of the right hash and so once Carter Bale caught the ball and saw all of that space with no white jerseys over there it was just basically a foot race and you're not really going to catch him once he gets out in the open field second punt for punt return for a touchdown for Carter Bell in his career the first coming at North Dakota State a couple of years ago and now Leen on for another extra points it is up and it is good South Dakota strikes for the second time on special teams tonight three at the 32 yd line of Northern State britz keeps it himself turns up at the 35 that's right at the stick it'll depend on the spot they say it's enough for third and 10 northern states got to get it down to the 32 yd line Brit escapes the pressure Grace trying to chase him down he takes a big shot there right on the sideline that hit coming from Mike Reed drops at the line of scrimmage paint craft the running back Brit back to pass over the top there's craft can't hang on though nicely done there Nate e will the linebacker got a hand in there his first of the night it's second and five ball stays at the 44 yd line bell comes in in motion and a quick shot here goes to jvon Phelps and he's out across the 50 to the 49 yd line of Northern State First Catch of the Season tight formation here for Bowman out of the pistol Charles Pierre the Deep man and he'll get it for a third straight plays into the open field little shiftiness almost spins off that tackle from Elijah J but he get a few extra seconds here going to play play a little more than 60 Minutes in vermilia tonight Balman to the air there's Jack Martins leaping to make the catch inside the five down to the 2yd line to go up and get it quickly back to the line Balman to Pierre up the middle touchdown South Dakota that's what Pierre does you put him in there inside the 10 yd line and that little guy can get behind those big big guys up front find the little crease and get into the end zone before you even recognize where he's at second touchdown of the night for Charles Pierre J second touchdown and as many possessions for Charles Pierre Jr he had five of them last year in just eight game was perfect this season ago he's been perfect so far tonight good snap good hold the kick is up and it is good 31-3 South Dakota on Third and three h Haskins gets it he's got the first down out across the 30 yd line and that should do it clock will stop because of the first down because of the first down but then we'll restart on the signal there it goes and that will do it for the first half of play so lots of big time plays here in this opening half South Dakota with a bunch of them he returns it 100 yeah no I'm not doing that and it's a little pooch kick and underneath it for South Dakota making the fair catch just inside the 20 yd line [Applause] pressure coming from Adam do a good job picking it up nice Cut there by Pierre bounces into the open field and finally dragged down inside the 40 yd line another nice 80 yards rushing on the night and Ty right back in there now back of the pistol with Bowman he'll take it cuts it up inside Ty has a hold he's inside the 25 teams have been phenomenal mhm Balman back to pass steps up he's going to be dropped for the second time tonight and this time getting to him is Matthew Baker a defensive end out of Rochester from confused the offensive line and able to force him into a field goal so that sets up a 38 yd attempt for will Leland and it sails wide left that is his first Miss in a coyote uniform he was perfect last year on both extra points and snap goes to Brit pressure coming evades that first wave now throws it down the sideline back inside and a nice adjustment made there by Tanner Branson to make the catch and move the chains yeah great job of Tanner knowing where he's at right one to the left steps up finds Branson again he's got his second third down catch on this drive just short of Midfield first down northern states yeah it's a good throw good [Music] catch so get officially still two for two on third down on this drive Britt back to pass try to get it up over the top shorter makes an incredible adjustment and gets the interception yeah this was one Brit's going to wish he had back that the throw really wasn't there now ironically enough if you're a Defender blitzing guys and bringing more bodies to the line of scrimmage let's get as many people of them to the line of scrimmage as possible that's the only thing that can cause you an issue there is if you don't get to him and get the pressure and you allow Bowman to set up he can probably find holes in it's definitely build on low snap but eil able to get it away Keegan Mountain back to rece that's off his face mask football's down and South Dakota is on top of it coyotes recovering at the Wolves 10 yd line yeah see and that's and then you have all that momentum built up from two stops in a row and then that happens you got to make the decision come up and make the catch or leave it alone you can't be in the way the ball's going to bounce funny because it's a football right and it hits him in the in the face mask and unfortunately for Northern now the coyotes are set up in Prime area for South Dakota but the kyotes take over now first and 10 at the Wolves 10 Travis Ty cuts it back into the end zone touchdown South Dakota again bringing those extra bodies to the line the in gets crashed down which creates space outside and Travis TI with the great vision able to just put his foot in the ground make one cut and it's over he's into the end zone so that's the third rushing touchdown of the football game tonight for South Dakota two for Charles Pierre [Applause] Jr that is up and through and it's 38-3 Kyle this is that period of time on both sides you know where you want to see what you have depthwise so you got to get some some opportunities that's a great run right there yeah Wyatt block a little bit of a bowling ball and he's still on his feet and trying to fight for a couple of extra yards got a first down out of doesn't get no better than that Hackle keeps it Pursuit coming and chased down by Wade Abrams for a big loss there that's going to knock him back another three yards and bring up third or excuse me knocking on the door of a 100 yd effort here tonight currently eight carries 87 yards and two touchdowns and he's gotten a majority of the work too oh boy he's going to get that 100 right now shakes off a tackle into Northern State territory ritten Out of Bounds at the defense they had a couple there you go they had a couple uh series ago you know where you bringing more guys to the line of scrimmage to help Corral that run Balman changes the play turns left gives it to Pierre steps through another tackle first Contact in there big package for South Dakota on Third and inches Pierre doesn't get much but he gets enough inside the 15 yd line first down South Dakota yeah just got what he needed northern states as Balman steps under Center takes the snap from Joey Lombard LJ Phillips inside the five on his feet into the end zone touchdown South Dakota yeah like I said I I think just now this is that point where you know if you're if you're South Dakota you're just going to keep running the football cuz you're getting these chunk yards and chunk plays because that defensive line from northern state is is a little tired and worn out now having to go up against those big strong bodies you know for four quarters and so these types of plays happen and it is good 45-3 the ground game just keeps chugging along here in Vermilion you would really just want uh him to go right into the teeth of the defense and just get as much as he can on each play Ackle takes the step on Third and 10 tries the outside looking out [Music] there and he starts under Center hands it off to LJ Phillips nice Cut there finds the hole Falls forward for a pickup of about nine and2 yards LJ Phillips following his touchdown run from that last possession and now we get a late flag in here after the play was over personal foul on Sportsman Lon personal foul Defense number three 15 yds added to the end of the Run includes automatic first down so number three is lynon Williams the safety called for that a tack on 15 to what was already a nyd run and it's always the second one right 220 lbs he'll get it again here on second down over the top he goes and he's got another first down to the 30 yd line making the stop that time for Northern State was number 37 Blake clay which you can to critique right after something like this cuz it's been a pretty solid night all the way around cnic looking to keep it finds a SE in that defense steps aside from a tackle and now tackled down inside the 20 CX got a first down and a gain of Josh Larson at left guard and C goes to the air he's looking for Lorenzo feder and that was not on the same page that time and it falls incomplete coyotes will'll bring the field goal team on with Will Len Miss from 38 back in the third quarter stapff is clean hold is clean leen's kick is off the upright and no good he's 0 for two on the night and so 326 to go and the score remains 45-3 quick break on the field means we check in another true press we talked about him and and Kaiser both and and SPID said they're both going to play for us a lot so as this season goes on expect to see those two youngsters as started off strong and that opening possession moved it down the field inside the 10 yd line of South Dakota but had to settle for three and now Smith trying to do just that breaks it to the outside and steps Out of Bounds at the 48 y here Mid Coast Sports as [Applause] well under 30 seconds to play of the ball game Hackle takes the snap looking to throw pressure coming dumps It Off and it's intercepted making the play for South Dakota number 34 is Jacob Clark a transfer from another division two School Clark coming by way of Glenville State in West Virginia and they love what this kid brings to the program in terms of athletic Smith and right into the hands so Nan kis Scully in there to take the Victory lap for South Dakota takes a knee and that will do it here in Vermilion so South Dakota's first non division one opponent in several seasons and the coyotes handle their business here tonight fell behind early three nothing but closed the night with 45 consecutive points and they get their first victory of the Season 453 over Northern State we're going to step aray real quick and be back to hear from the coyotes
