Every Monday during the football season, Happy Hour host John Gaskins will be joined for a breakdown of local football at all levels with veteran local college and prep TV analyst Kurtiss Riggs — the well-connected director of the Sanford Academy's football program and 11-time professional indoor championship coach of the Sioux Falls Storm. This week's topics:

• South Dakota State's 37-21 over non-scholarship Drake and why Jacks aren't delivering many haymakers or knockout punches in 3-0 start
• Why is USD struggling more than SDSU with a bunch of new players?
• Chase Mason and Aidan Bouman through 3 games
• NDSU's dominance and UND's emergence on to MVFC/national scene
• Is Mark Gronowski at all to blame for Iowa's slow offensive start?
• His best friend Kalen DeBoer and Alabama: Are they OK? Is he OK?
• Caleb Williams and J.J. McCarthy — one has a bright future with his team. The other? Not so much. Here's why.
