Drake football coach Todd Stepsis says the Bulldogs are using a new motto during spring drills. After going a combined 5-17 in 2021 and 2022 the Bulldogs used “be the change” as inspiration and they responded by going 8-0 in winning the Pioneer Football League title and advancing to the FCS playoffs. Their new motto is “raise the bar”.
Stepsis says with a team loaded with veterans he is confident the Bulldogs will be able to handle success.
Stepsis says a battle-scarred senior class is the strength of the team.
Stepsis feels that experience helped the Bulldogs excel in close games. Drake won six PFL games last season by a touchdown or less.
Drake’s spring game is Saturday.
