Des Moines, Iowa – Drake controls its own destiny as the Bulldogs start the stretch run at home on Saturday against Marist. Drake is coming off a bye week and is 5-1 overall and 4-0 in the Pioneer Football League race.
That’s Drake coach Todd Stepsis who does not feel his team will get caught looking ahead to next week’s first place showdown at St. Thomas of Minnesota, especialy after escaping a Marist upset bid in New York last season 10-3.
Stepsis hopes championship experience helps his team the final month. Drake has won 15 straight PFL games dating back to 2022.
With rain in the forecast Stepsis says the Bulldogs will practice with wet footballs this week as well as review their game operations.
Stepsis says the weather may force the Bulldogs to adjust their game plan.
