John-o-logue: Mason & Bouman rip it up in first round. What makes them special? Plus, Iowa dominates Nebraska and who is to blame for Vikings' mess?

from Happy Hour with John Gaskins · host John Gaskins

Make sure to take the complete, dominating FCS Playoffs first round performances from the Jackrabbits and Coyotes with a dump truck of salt.    South Dakota State hammered the fourth-best team from the Colonial Athletic Association — whose league champion is the No. 9 seed — and South Dakota pulled away from a program that does not give out scholarships.   Having said that, dang, that was some impressive football — offense, defense, and especially quarterback play — in SDSU's 41-3 nuking of New Hampshire and USD's 38-10 scorching of Drake.   Chase Mason was nearly perfect in his return after a five-game absence. The Jacks are 8-0 and averaging 40 points per game with him starting and 1-4 and scoring about half as much without him.   While Happy Hour has devoted hours this season — mainly from Kurtiss Riggs — to the dissection of why Mason is considered a Power Four conference quality QB, his latest performance brought out rave reviews from fresh eyes like the ESPN+ broadcast team and New Hampshire's head coach, who called Mason an NFL talent after the game.    In the show's opening segment, the "John-o-logue," you'll hear those "outsider" remarks.    In both Jackson's weekly one-on-one chat with John Gaskins and in our "Monday Afternoon Quarterback" session with Arizona Rattlers QB coach Peyton Riggs (who has watched and analyzed every SDSU game), you'll hear further detail into why Mason makes throws look easier than they are and how few at his level — if not higher levels — can do what he does.
