Drake had some extra time to savor its first victory of the season. The Bulldogs were off last week and now get set to close the home slate against Butler. Drake is 1-8 after breaking through in a 24-17 win at Stetson.

That’s Drake coach Todd Stepsis. Butler is tied for second in the Pioneer Football League race and is only giving up 18 points per game.

It will be the final home game for five seniors that had their careers impacted by the pandemic.
