K-State welcomes the Missouri Valley's South Dakota Coyotes to Manhattan to open the season. Let's kick the tires on the 'yotes.
K-State once again dips into the Missouri Valley well for a first-game opponent. This year, the South Dakota Coyotes will visit Manhattan for the season's first contest.
You probably don't need a reminder of what happened the last time K-State opened a season in a renovated home stadium with a first-year quarterback against an FCS opponent with Dakota in its name. But take heart, K-State fans. The Coyotes aren't exactly a four-time defending FCS champion like North Dakota State.
