Drake will be a decided underdog on Saturday when the Bulldogs visit eighth ranked North Dakota State in the opening round of the FCS Playoffs. The Bulldogs played at North Dakota State to open last season and this year played two ranked FCS foes in nonconference play.

That’s Drake coach Todd Stepsis who says to make a game of it the Bulldogs must keep the offense on the field.

The Bulldogs will try to find ways to hang in the game.
