Listen "Dan Jackson on watching CFB during bye week, analytics vs gut, "Improvement Week," and Mercyhurst"
Episode Synopsis
So, how does a college football head coach spend his Saturday on a bye week? The answer is likely as different as the personalities of hundreds of coaches all over the country, but you'll get the flavor of a Dan Jackson Saturday in our weekly chat with South Dakota State's head coach. Among the topics: Favorite podcasts Which CFB games he watched on Saturday Did he catch Drake-USD, and compare it to SDSU-Drake the week before? Does he take notes or "just watch?" How 'bout those Huskers vs Michigan? (Dan's a Nebraska fan) Plus, what were some of the specific things the Jackrabbits honed in on during bye week — or as John Stiegelmeier coined and Jackson carries on — "Improvement Week?" Finally, a glimpse into Saturday's opponent, Mercyhurst, who kept No. 4 Montana State in check on Saturday, losing 17-0. Two weeks ago, the Lakers, out of Erie, Pennsylvania, and the Northeast Conference, lost 49-28 to the same 21st-ranked Sacramento State team the Jacks controlled in the season opener 20-3.
