Two of the three unbeatens in the Pioneer Football League race collide in Des Moines on Saturday when St. Thomas of Minnesota visits Drake. The Bulldogs are 2-0 in the league race after wins over Morehead State of Kentucky and Valparaiso.

That’s Drake coach Todd Stepsis. As he said in the previous cut the Bulldogs have won five straight league games dating back to last season.

St. Thomas is 3-0 in the PFL and the defense came up big the past two weeks in wins over Dayton and Butler.
