ANOTHER BIG CROWD AT SIMPLOT STADIUM: With multiple factors going against the Yotes (poor air quality and competing against 14 high school games), nearly 3,600 fans arrived for C of I's home opener vs. Southern Oregon – a larger crowd than C of I played in front of at Division I Northern Colorado. Since football returned to the College, all 17 games at Simplot Stadium have had a crowd of 3,100 fans or more. The Coyotes currently rank second in the Frontier Conference (and the NAIA) in attendance, as Montana Tech drew 4,709 fans for their home opener vs. Carroll, while Carroll is in the No. 3 spot, drawing 2,783 fans to Saturday's game vs. Rocky Mountain.
