Head coach Travis Johansen chats with the media following the five overtime thriller at No. 21-ranked Southern Illinois and looks ahead to the bye week and into the first round of the NCAA FCS Playoffs. 

"Super excited to finish Saturday with a win. A much needed win for our postseason aspiration. I'm really excited about the fight and the grit out of our team."

South Dakota finished the regular season with an 8-4 (6-2 MVFC) record and has solidified at least a tie for second-place this season in Johansen's first season. The Coyotes await their fate for the NCAA FCS Playoffs which will be announced on Sunday, November 23 at 11 a.m. (CT) on ESPNU.
