Episode Synopsis
So, South Dakota was humbled by the No. 16 FBS team in the nation 55-7 in a hostile environment on Saturday to start the Travis Johansen era at 0-1. What does the first-time head coach make of the loss at Iowa State? And what now? Johansen joined Happy Hour host John Gaskins for a 22-minute conversation to break down the trip to Ames: Early success, then "self-inflicted wounds"... How can they be fixed/prevented? Aidan Bouman — "things he'd like to take back" Offensive line's satisfactory performance Self-evaluation of first game as head coach Defensive breakdowns = ISU's size & length or USD mistakes? Toward the end, a look ahead to an FCS road game at Lamar in South Texas, a program the Coyotes faced in 2023. What is similar, what is different, what should both the USD offense and defense be prepared for most? How the team will get ready for the scorching heat and steambath humidity? Plus, a peek inside a sneaky-intregal new aspect of the USD football program — a full-time athletic performance director just for football.
