Drake takes a share of the Pioneer Football League lead on the road this week to the University of San Diego. The Bulldogs are coming off a stunning 52-21 win over PFL favorite St. Thomas of Minnesota and sit at 3-0 in the league race after starting the season 0-3

That’s Drake coach Todd Stepsis. The Toreros are 1-5 overall. A stunning start for a program that has won seven PFL itles in the last nine years.

The Bulldogs look to break through in a series that has been dominated by San Diego.

Former Iowa State quarterback Re-Al Mitchell is a big play threat for San Diego and Stepsis says the Drake defense will need to find him.
