Des Moines, Iowa — Drake’s seventh game at the University of San Diego will feature a fourth different starting quarterback as sophomore Sean Cooney gets the nod.
Freshman Blake Ellingson started the last two games but is in quarantine due to COVID contact tracing. Bulldog coach Todd Stepsis says original starter Ian Corwin could be used in an emergency.
Cooney was Drake’s scout team quarterback until a few days ago and the Bulldogs are so thin at quarterback that Stepsis even took reps with the scout team.
The revolving door at quarterback has hampered a Drake offense that is averaging just over 12 points in a 1-2 start in the Pioneer Football League race.
Stepsis has always lauded the character of his team and says that is being tested right now.
