Victory spurs momentum

After a victory in the home opener against defending Division I Football Championship Subdivision champion Eastern Washington, the University of South Dakota Coyote football team (1-1) will face the Northwestern Oklahoma State Rangers (0-2) at the DakotaDome Saturday at 4 p.m.

Despite the momentum gained from last week’s home win, head coach Ed Meierkort said the team isn’t going to overlook the Rangers.

“We aren’t going to take any games lightly,” Meierkort said. “We’re going to practice hard and not take Northwestern Oklahoma State better.”
