The South Dakota Coyotes have plenty of expectations on the football field this Fall, and it all begins in just a few short weeks in Ames, Iowa.

The Yotes have several marquee returners on the roster, including Quarterback Aidan Bouman and Running Back Charles Pierre Jr. 

That duo headlines a group that figures to be once again in the FCS title mix this season, and the team opens at Iowa State on Saturday, August 30th.
