Up Next: South Dakota

Week 1 has arrived! Kansas State will be opening its season against the South Dakota Coyotes out of the Missouri Valley Conference. In the first installment of Up Next, Jeff Burkhart @jeff_burkhart caught up @BaileyZubke, Assistant Sports Editor of the South City Journal (@scj). Bailey tackles the following questions regarding the Coyote football program and its expectations for the coming season:

- What did last season's monumental upset win over in-state rival South Dakota State mean to coach Bob Nielson and his program?

- How did the youth on the roster handle last year's home playoff loss to Southern Illinois?

- What were some of the challenges coach Nielson overcame to build this South Dakota football program?

- What makes MVFC 1st team preseason all-purpose back selection Carter Bell so dynamic?

- What does Carson Camp need to do to take the "next step" in his development as a quarterback?

- How heavily are FBS victories weighed when FCS playoff selections are made?

- How many wins can the Coyotes rack up against a tough schedule?
