Coyotes head coach Joe Glenn’s familiar with intrastate rivalries, having coached in the Montana-Montana State series. He says games between the in-state rivals should be played. 97637 :21 “a great game”.
The Coyote defense has struggled against the run – Glenn says the Jacks present a challenge. 97638 :37 “hang in there”.
But the Jacks defense has had issues with mobile quarterbacks, which USD has.
