VERMILLION, S.D. (USD) — The South Dakota Coyotes (2-1, 0-0 MVFC) returned to the friendly confines of the DakotaDome Saturday afternoon with the Coyotes showing a balanced attack on offense combining for 400+ yards of total offense and five offensive touchdowns in the 42-3 win over the Drake University Bulldogs (1-1, 0-0 Pioneer) to wrap up non-conference play for the season.
“I’m really happy with the win, a dominating win. I thought from the opening kickoff that our guys were ready to go,” commented head coach Bob Nielson . “After last week, you get concerned about getting out of routine and the frustration of not playing … I thought our (the) guys played hungry today.”
For the second time in as many games inside the Dome, Keyondray Jones-Logan (So., Orlando, Fla.) opened the first Coyote possession of the game with a 90+-yard kickoff return. Taking the opening kickoff of today’s game, Jones-Logan sprinted 99 yards down the USD sideline for the program’s second-longest return in program history to give USD the early 7-0 lead.
